One simile that Oberon uses to describe himself is in Act III, Scene 2 of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" when the king of the fairies--or "king of shadows" as Puck calls him in line 363 [metaphor]--tells Puck,
But we are spirits of another sort;/I with the morning's love have oft made sport;/And, like a forester, the groves may tread (III,ii,406)
And, while there are a couple of metaphors used to describe Oberon--"king of shadows" and "captain of our fairy band"--any other similes are elusive, regrettably.
