What Oberon actually says is "her dotage I begin to pity". The WikiAnswers style book objection to the word "I" does not apply to quotations.

"Dotage" does not here mean senility. It comes from the verb "to dote" which means to be infatuated with, or to love to excess. You've probably heard the phrase "doting parents". The word means infatuation, and refers to the infatuation brought on by the love-drug love-in-idleness. At first Oberon thought it was funny, but now that he has his Indian boy, he is beginning to feel sorry for Titania.
