She shall undo her credit with the Moor.So will I turn her virtue into pitch,And out of her own goodness make the netThat shall enmesh them all.[Re-enter RODERIGO.]How now, Roderigo!RODERIGO: I do follow here in the chase, not like ahound that hunts, but one that fills up the cry. Mymoney is almost spent; I have been to-night exceedinglywell cudgelled; and I think the issue will be, Ishall have so much experience for my pains, and so,with no money at all and a little more wit, return againto Venice.IAGO: How poor are they that have not patience!What wound did ever heal but by degrees?Thou know’st we work by wit, and not by witchcraft;And wit depends on dilatory time.Does’t not go well? Cassio hath beaten thee.And thou, by that small hurt, hast cashier’d Cassio:Though other things grow fair against the sun,Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe:Content thyself awhile. By the mass, ’tis morning;Pleasure and action make the hours seem short.Othello Act II, scene iiiRetire thee; go where thou art billeted:Away, I say; thou shalt know more hereafter:Nay, get thee gone.40[Exit Roderigo.]Two things are to be done:My wife must move for Cassio to her mistress;I’ll set her on;Myself the while to draw the Moor apart,And bring him jump when he may Cassio findSoliciting his wife: ay, that’s the wayDull not device by coldness and delay.[Exit.]
