I’ll intermingle every thing he doesWith Cassio’s suit: therefore be merry, Cassio;For thy solicitor shall rather dieThan give thy cause away.EMILIA: Madam, here comes my lord.CASSIO: Madam, I’ll take my leave.DESDEMONA: Why, stay, and hear me speak.CASSIO: Madam, not now: I am very ill at ease,Unfit for mine own purposes.DESDEMONA: Well, do your discretion.[Exit Cassio.][Enter OTHELLO and IAGO.]Othello Act III, scene iiiIAGO: Cassio, my lord! No, sure, I cannot think it,That he would steal away so guilty-like,Seeing you coming.OTHELLO:I do believe ’twas he.DESDEMONA: How now, my lord!I have been talking with a suitor here,A man that languishes in your displeasure.OTHELLO: Who is’t you mean?DESDEMONA: Why, your lieutenant, Cassio. Good my lord,If I have any grace or power to move you,His present reconciliation take;For if he be not one that truly loves you,That errs in ignorance and not in cunning,I have no judgment in an honest face:I prithee, call him back.IAGO: Ha! I like not that.OTHELLO:Went he hence now?OTHELLO:What dost thou say?IAGO: Nothing, my lord: or if—I know not what.OTHELLO: Was not that Cassio parted from my wife?44DESDEMONA: Ay, sooth; so humbledThat he hath left part of his grief with me,To suffer with him. Good love, call him back.OTHELLO: Not now, sweet Desdemona; some other time.
DESDEMONA: But shall’t be shortly?OTHELLO:The sooner, sweet, for you.DESDEMONA: Shall’t be to-night at supper?OTHELLO:DESDEMONA: To-morrow dinner, then?No, not to-night.OTHELLO:I shall not dine at home;I meet the captains at the citadel.DESDEMONA: Why, then, to-morrow night; or Tuesdaymorn;On Tuesday noon, or night; on Wednesday morn:I prithee, name the time, but let it notExceed three days: in faith, he’s penitent;And yet his trespass, in our common reason—Save that, they say, the wars must make examplesOut of their best—is not almost a faultTo 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 a-wooing with you, and so many a time,When I have spoke of you dispraisingly,Othello Act III, scene iiiHath ta’en your part; to have so much to doTo bring him in! Trust me, I could do much,—45OTHELLO: 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 profitTo your own person: nay, when I have a suitWherein I mean to touch your love indeed,It shall be full of poise and difficult weightAnd 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 theestraight.DESDEMONA: Emilia, come. Be as your fancies teach you;Whate’er you be, I am obedient.[Exeunt Desdemona and Emilia.]
