you。 DESDEMONA。 Shall't be tonight at supper？ OTHELLO。 No； not
tonight。 DESDEMONA。 Tomorrow dinner then？ OTHELLO。 I shall not
dine at home； I meet the captains at the citadel。 DESDEMONA。 Why then
tomorrow night； or Tuesday morn； On Tuesday noon； or night； on
Wednesday morn。 I prithee； name the time； but let it not Exceed three days。
In faith； he's penitent； And yet his trespass； in our common reason Save
that； they say； the wars must make example Out of their bestis not almost
a fault To incur a private check。 When shall he come？ Tell me； Othello。 I
wonder in my soul； What you would ask me； that I should deny； Or stand
so mammering on。 What？ Michael Cassio； That came awooing with you；
and so many a time When I have spoke of you dispraisingly Hath ta'en
your partto have so much to do To bring him in！ Trust me； I could do
much OTHELLO。 Prithee； no more。 Let him come when he will； I will
deny thee nothing。 DESDEMONA。 Why； this is not a boon； 'Tis as I
should entreat you wear your gloves； Or feed on nourishing dishes； or
keep you warm； Or sue to you to do a peculiar profit To your own person。
Nay； when I have a suit Wherein I mean to touch your love indeed； It shall
be full of poise and difficult weight； And fearful to be granted。 OTHELLO。
I will deny thee nothing； Whereon； I do beseech thee； grant me this； To
leave me but a little to myself。 DESDEMONA。 Shall I deny you？ No。
Farewell； my lord。 OTHELLO。 Farewell； my Desdemona； I'll come to thee
straight。 DESDEMONA。 Emilia； come。 Be as your fancies teach you；
Whate'er you be； I am obedient。 Exeunt Desdemona and Emilia。
OTHELLO。 Excellent wretch！ Perdition catch my soul； But I do love thee！
and when I love thee not； Chaos is come again。 IAGO。 My noble lord
OTHELLO。 What dost thou say； Iago？ IAGO。 Did Michael Cassio； when
you woo'd my lady； Know of your love？ OTHELLO。 He did； from first to
last。 Why dost thou ask？ IAGO。 But for a satisfaction of my thought； No

further harm。 OTHELLO。 Why of thy thought； Iago？ IAGO。 I did not
think he had been acquainted with her。 OTHELLO。 O； yes； and went
between us very oft。 IAGO。 Indeed！ OTHELLO。 Indeed？ ay； indeed。
Discern'st thou aught in that？ Is he not honest？ IAGO。 Honest； my lord？
OTHELLO。 Honest？ Ay； honest。 IAGO。 My lord； for aught I know。
OTHELLO。 What dost thou think？ IAGO。 Think； my lord？ OTHELLO。
Think； my lord？ By heaven； he echoes me； As if there were some monster
in his thought Too hideous to be shown。 Thou dost mean something。 I
heard thee say even now； thou like'st not that； When Cassio left my wife。
What didst not like？ And when I told thee he was of my counsel In my
whole course of wooing； thou criedst； 〃Indeed！〃 And didst contract and
purse thy brow together； As if thou then hadst shut up in thy brain Some
horrible conceit。 If thou dost love me； Show me thy thought。 IAGO。 My
lord； you know I love you。 OTHELLO。 I think thou dost； And for I know
thou'rt full of love and honesty And weigh'st thy words before thou givest
them breath； Therefore these stops of thine fright me the more； For such
things in a false disloyal knave Are tricks of custom； but in a man that's
just They're close dilations； working from the heart； That passion cannot
rule。 IAGO。 For Michael Cassio； I dare be sworn I think that he is honest。
OTHELLO。 I think so too。 IAGO。 Men should be what they seem； Or
those that be not； would they might seem none！ OTHELLO。 Certain； men
should be what they seem。 IAGO。 Why then I think Cassio's an honest
man。 OTHELLO。 Nay； yet there's more in this。 I prithee； speak to me as to
thy thinkings； As thou dost ruminate； and give thy worst of thoughts The
worst of words。 IAGO。 Good my lord； pardon me； Though I am bound to
every act of duty； I am not bound to that all slaves are free to。 Utter my
thoughts？ Why； say they are vile and false； As where's that palace
whereinto foul things Sometimes intrude not？ Who has a breast so pure；
But some uncleanly apprehensions Keep leets and law…days； and in
session sit With meditations lawful？ OTHELLO。 Thou dost conspire
against thy friend； Iago； If thou but think'st him wrong'd and makest his
ear A stranger to thy thoughts。 IAGO。 I do beseech you Though I
perchance am vicious in my guess； As； I confess； it is my nature's plague
To spy into abuses； and oft my jealousy Shapes faults that are notthat

your wisdom yet； From one that so imperfectly conceits； Would take no
notice； nor build yourself a trouble Out of his scattering and unsure
observance。 It were not for your quiet nor your good； Nor for my manhood；
honesty； or wisdom； To let you know my thoughts。 OTHELLO。 What dost
thou mean？ IAGO。 Good name in man and woman； dear my lord； Is the
immediate jewel of their souls。 Who steals my purse steals trash； 'tis
something； nothing； 'Twas mine； 'tis his； and has been slave to thousands；
But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not
enriches him And makes me poor indeed。 OTHELLO。 By heaven； I'll
know thy thoughts。 IAGO。 You cannot； if my heart were in your hand； Nor
shall not； whilst 'tis in my custody。 OTHELLO。 Ha！ IAGO。 O； beware； my
lord； of jealousy！ It is the green…eyed monster； which doth mock The meat
it feeds on。 That cuckold lives in bliss Who； certain of his fate； loves not
his wronger； But O； what damned minutes tells he o'er Who dotes； yet
doubts； suspects； yet strongly loves！ OTHELLO。 O misery！ IAGO。 Poor
and content is rich； and rich enough； But riches fineless is as poor as
winter To him that ever fears he shall be poor。 Good heaven； the souls of
all my tribe defend From jealousy！ OTHELLO。 Why； why is this？ Think'st
thou I'ld make a life of jealousy； To follow still the changes of the moon
With fresh suspicions？ No！ To be once in doubt Is once to be resolved。
Exchange me for a goat When I shall turn the business of my soul To such
exsufflicate and blown surmises； Matching thy inference。 'Tis not to make
me jealous To say my wife is fair； feeds well； loves company； Is free of
speech； sings； plays； and dances well； Where virtue is； these are more
virtuous。 Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw The smallest fear or
doubt of her revolt； For she had eyes and chose me。 No； Iago； I'll see
before I doubt； when I doubt； prove； And on the proof； there is no more
but this Away at once with love or jealousy！ IAGO。 I am glad of it； for
now I shall have reason To show the love and duty that I bear you With
franker spirit。 Therefore； as I am bound； Receive it from me。 I speak not
yet of proof。 Look to your wife； observe her well with Cassio； Wear your
eye thus； not jealous nor secure。 I would not have your free and noble
nature Out of self…bounty be abused。 Look to't。 I know our country
disposition well； In Venice they do let heaven see the pranks They dare not

show their husbands； their best conscience Is not to leave't undone； but
keep't unknown。 OTHELLO。 Dost thou say so？ IAGO。 She did deceive
her father； marrying you； And when she seem'd to shake and fear your
looks； She loved them most。 OTHELLO。 And so she did。 IAGO。 Why； go
to then。 She that so young could give out such a seeming； To seal her
father's eyes up close as oak He thought 'twas witchcraftbut I am much
to blame； I humbly do beseech you of your pardon For too much loving
you。 OTHELLO。 I am bound to thee forever。 IAGO。 I see this hath a little
dash'd your spirits。 OTHELLO。 Not a jot； not a jot。 IAGO。 I'faith； I fear it
has。 I hope you will consider what is spoke Comes from my love。 But I do
see you're moved； I am to pray you not to strain my speech To grosser
issues nor to larger reach
