Othello Act I, scene iiiSecond Senator:And mine, two hundred:But though they jump not on a just account,—As in these cases, where the aim reports,’Tis oft with difference—yet do they all confirmA Turkish fleet, and bearing up to Cyprus.DUKE OF VENICE: Nay, it is possible enough to judgment:I do not so secure me in the error,But the main article I do approveIn fearful sense.Sailor: [Within] What, ho! what, ho! what, ho!To keep us in false gaze. When we considerThe importancy of Cyprus to the Turk,And let ourselves again but understand,That as it more concerns the Turk than Rhodes,So may he with more facile question bear it,For that it stands not in such warlike brace,But altogether lacks the abilitiesThat Rhodes is dress’d in: if we make thought of this,We must not think the Turk is so unskilfulTo leave that latest which concerns him first,Neglecting an attempt of ease and gain,To wake and wage a danger profitless.First Officer: A messenger from the galleys.[Enter a Sailor.]DUKE OF VENICE: Nay, in all confidence, he’s not for Rhodes.First Officer: Here is more news.DUKE OF VENICE:Now, what’s the business?[Enter a Messenger.]Sailor: The Turkish preparation makes for Rhodes;So was I bid report here to the stateBy Signior Angelo.DUKE OF VENICE: How say you by this change?First Senator:This cannot be,By no assay of reason: ’tis a pageant,12Messenger: The Ottomites, reverend and gracious,Steering with due course towards the isle of Rhodes,Have there injointed them with an after fleet.First Senator: Ay, so I thought. How many, as you guess?Messenger: Of thirty sail: and now they do restemTheir backward course, bearing with frank appearance
Their purposes toward Cyprus. Signior Montano,Your trusty and most valiant servitor,With his free duty recommends you thus,And prays you to believe him.DUKE OF VENICE: ’Tis certain, then, for Cyprus.Marcus Luccicos, is not he in town?First Senator: He’s now in Florence.DUKE OF VENICE: Write from us to him; post-post-hastedispatch.First Senator: Here comes Brabantio and the valiant Moor.[Enter BRABANTIO, OTHELLO, IAGO, RODERIGO, and Officers.]DUKE OF VENICE: Valiant Othello, we must straightemploy youAgainst the general enemy Ottoman.[To Brabantio]I did not see you; welcome, gentle signior;We lack’d your counsel and your help tonight.BRABANTIO: So did I yours. Good your grace, pardon me;Othello Act I, scene iii13Neither my place nor aught I heard of businessHath raised me from my bed, nor doth the general careTake hold on me, for my particular griefIs of so flood-gate and o’erbearing natureThat it engluts and swallows other sorrowsAnd it is still itself.DUKE OF VENICE:Why, what’s the matter?BRABANTIO: My daughter! O, my daughter!DUKE OF VENICE & Senator: Dead?BRABANTIO:Ay, to me;She is abused, stol’n from me, and corruptedBy spells and medicines bought of mountebanks;For nature so preposterously to err,Being not deficient, blind, or lame of sense,Sans witchcraft could not.DUKE OF VENICE: Whoe’er he be that in this foul proceedingHath thus beguiled your daughter of herselfAnd you of her, the bloody book of lawYou shall yourself read in the bitter letterAfter your own sense, yea, though our proper sonStood in your action.
