Michael asks…

Stressed and unstressed syllables?

I have NO idea how to do this, or what marks to use. help please ?!

mark the stressed and unstressed syllables:

"O, then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn by a team of little atomies
Over men's noses as they lie asleep..."

admin answers:

Didn't I just answer this? Yes, I see I did. The only difference between the questions is that the other one didn't have a capital S on stressed. How many times do you need to ask?

/p

admin answers:

In my day we'd put a V over the stressed and what looked like a C on its back over the unstressed. In the first line the stressed syllables are then see Mab been and you.

Sandra asks…

ROMEO AND JULIET. (Queen Mab's Carriage)?

These are the exact directions.

You need to draw or cut out from a magazine (or a combonation of both) the different parts of Queen Mab's carriage. Draw or glue (or both) your image of Mab, her carriage, and her team of atomies in the center of the page.

Here are the components you'll need.

Her wagon spokes made of LONG SPINNERS' LEGS.
The cover of the WINGS OF GRASSHOPPERS
Her traces of the SMALLEST SPIDER WEB
Her collars of the MOONSHINE'S WAT'RY BEAMS
Her whip of CRICKETS BONE; the LASH of FLIM
Her wagoner a SMALL GRAY-COATED GNAT,/not half so big as a round little worm
Her chariot is an EMPTY HAZELNUT, / made by the joiner squirrel or old grub
Drawn with a team of LITTLE ATOMIES/ over men's noses as they lie asleep
She (Mab) is the FAIRIES' MIDWIFE, and she comes in the shape no bigger than an AGATE STONE

*the UPPERCASE words are what you will use to label these parts on your drawing.

i need help.... i think i just need help figuring out what all of those lines actually mean and getting a picture in my mind so i can draw, or cut out from magazine the pictures.

(by the way, which one of those do you think is easier?)

Thanks for your help, i reallly need it.

admin answers:

With a dictionary, it will be easy. It's somewhat literal actually.

Steven asks…

Information on a scene from Romeo and Juliet?

In a paragraph, I need to explain what Mercutio is saying in modern English. Can anyone help? It's his speech on Queen Mab.

"O, then, I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate-stone
On the fore-finger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomies
Athwart men's noses as they lie asleep;
Her wagon-spokes made of long spinners’ legs,
The cover of the wings of grasshoppers,
The traces of the smallest spider's web,
The collars of the moonshine's wat'ry beams,
Her whip of cricket's bone; the lash of film;
Her waggoner a small grey-coated gnat,
Not half so big as a round little worm
Pricked from the lazy finger of a maid:
Her chariot is an empty hazelnut
Made by the joiner squirrel or old grub,
Time out o’ mind the fairies’ coachmakers.
And in this state she gallops night by night
Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love;
O’er courtiers’ knees, that dream on court'sies straight,
O’er lawyers’ fingers, who straight dream on fees,
O’er ladies ‘ lips, who straight on kisses dream,
Which oft the angry Mab with blisters plagues,
Because their breaths with sweetmeats tainted are:
Sometime she gallops o’er a courtier's nose,
And then dreams he of smelling out a suit;
And sometime comes she with a tithe-pig's tail
Tickling a parson's nose as a’ lies asleep,
Then dreams, he of another benefice:
Sometime she driveth o’er a soldier's neck,
And then dreams he of cutting foreign throats,
Of breaches, ambuscadoes, Spanish blades,
Of healths five-fathom deep; and then anon
Drums in his ear, at which he starts and wakes,
And being thus frighted swears a prayer or two
And sleeps again. This is that very Mab
That plaits the manes of horses in the night,
And bakes the elflocks in foul sluttish hairs,
Which once untangled, much misfortune bodes:
This is the hag, when maids lie on their backs,
That presses them and learns them first to bear,
Making them women of good carriage:
This is she—"
