Her dotage now I do begin to pity.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 4, Scene 1. After Titania falls in love with the ass-headed Nick Bottom, Oberon eventually feels guilty and decides to reverse the magic that caused this. But he only feels pity after she gives him what he wants – the changeling Indian boy. "I then did ask of her her changeling child, Which straight she gave me, and her fairy sent To bear him to my bower in Fairyland. And now I have the boy, I will undo This hateful imperfection of her eyes."
