उत्तर
After Puck has transformed Bottom‘s head into that of an ass, he himself too takes the form of various beasts in order to scare the workmen who were rehearsing the play. Puck threatens to follow them wherever they go. The dialogue 'The Finch, the sparrow' is actually part of a song that Bottom sings after Puck transforms his head into that of an ass. Bottom, who thinks his friends are pretending in order to scare him, decides to show he isn't frightened by singing the above song.
