Great Jove, Othello guard,And swell his sail with thine own powerful breath,That he may bless this bay with his tall ship,Make love’s quick pants in Desdemona’s arms,Give renew’d fire to our extincted spirits24O, behold,The riches of the ship is come on shore!Ye men of Cyprus, let her have your knees.Hail to thee, lady! and the grace of heaven,Before, behind thee, and on every hand,Enwheel thee round!DESDEMONA:I thank you, valiant Cassio.What tidings can you tell me of my lord?CASSIO: He is not yet arrived: nor know I aughtBut that he’s well and will be shortly here.DESDEMONA: O, but I fear—How lost you company?CASSIO: The great contention of the sea and skiesParted our fellowship—But, hark! a sail.[Within ‘A sail, a sail!’ Guns heard.]Second Gentleman: They give their greeting to the citadel;This likewise is a friend.
