The lady's tears are all part of the act. This beguiling fairy queen lures unsuspecting men into her elfin grotto—where she seduces and abandons them. And one of the reasons why she's so successful at doing this is because she manages to give the impression that she's really in love with the men who fall into her trap. She actually comes right out and tells them that she loves them. Not only that, but she weeps and sighs just like someone head over heels in love would do.

In going through the full repertoire of a lover's normal behavior, the lady convinces all the men who grace her enchanted boudoir that she only has eyes for them. And for these men, those eyes, so full of tears, are expressive of true love, making the lady's elaborate ruse all the more convincing.
