The next thing then she waking, looks upon
(Be it on lion, bear, or wolf, or bull,
On meddling monkey, or on busy ape)
She shall pursue it with the soul of love.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Scene 1. Oberon plans to douse Titania’s eyes with the magic juice from the "Love-in-Idleness" flower. As a result she will fall in love with the first creature she sees. Oberon is hoping it will be some kind of wild animal, such as a lion, bear, wolf or bull. The Fairy King’s mean revenge against his Queen is over her refusal to give up her changeling boy to him.
