Titania and Oberon

Titania and Oberon are a unique pair in the play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream".  They seem to have a love relationship, and yet bicker at the same time.
Titania's language seems dreamy and flowery, some of the most beautiful in the play:
 "Sleep thou, and I will wind thee in my arms.  O, how I love thee!  How I dote on thee!"

Oberon's language, too, seems that of a lovesick boy are times:
"Now my Titania, wake you, my sweet queen."
