These words are spoken by a character called Fairy in the play by Shakespeare titled A Midsummer Night's Dream. In this play Shakespeare draws the picture of an ethereal world. The play is also the tale of human lives intertwined with enchanting beings of the nature/ spirit world. This particular fairy talks about wandering over hills, dales, bushes, and briers. The fairy is in a hurry because the fairy has to fulfill certain responsibilities. The fairy's responsibility is to place dew on fairy rings which are similar to celestial orbs. A beautiful description of a flower called Cowslip is given. The spots in the yellow flower are compared to rubies. They are also compared to freckles. The other responsibility is to hang a pearl in every cowslip's ear. The fairy also has to look for dewdrops.
This is a picture of the Cowslip from Wikipedia.
