Do you amend it then; it lies in you:
Why should Titania cross her Oberon?
I do but beg a little changeling boy,
To be my henchman.
– William Shakespeare
A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 2, Scene 1. Oberon is not getting his way with the strong-willed Titania. The Fairy King cannot understand why his wife should argue with him. The two are involved in a custody battle over who should control the changeling Indian child, but Titania is unwilling to give way to her husband.
