Answer:
I think u forgot to mention the text.....
Explanation:
This simile is intended to create a tone of humor.
All of the Athenian's interjections become puns played off of the dialogue in "Pyramus and Thisbe" or off of each other's lighthearted criticisms of the play. Lysander here is comparing Quince's reading of the prologue to a person who does not know how to ride a difficult horse (jolty, not knowing where or how to stop). This sets up the tone for more jokes as the play within the play continues.
PERCH
1) a thing on which a bird alights or roosts, typically a branch or a horizontal rod or bar in a birdcage.
2) (of a bird) alight or rest on something.
3) an edible freshwater fish with a high spiny dorsal fin, dark vertical bars on the body, and orange lower fins.
4) a linear or square rod.
Those are all the definitions. Whichever one relates to what you're learning.
