OTHELLO: The handkerchief!DESDEMONA:A man that all his timeHath founded his good fortunes on your love,Shared dangers with you,—Othello Act III, scene ivIAGO: There is no other way; ’tis she must do’t:And, lo, the happiness! go, and importune her.DESDEMONA: How now, good Cassio! what’s the newswith you?OTHELLO: The handkerchief!DESDEMONA: In sooth, you are to blame.OTHELLO: Away![Exit.]EMILIA: Is not this man jealous?DESDEMONA: I ne’er saw this before.Sure, there’s some wonder in this handkerchief:I am most unhappy in the loss of it.EMILIA: ’Tis not a year or two shows us a man:They are all but stomachs, and we all but food;To eat us hungerly, and when they are full,They belch us. Look you, Cassio and my husband![Enter CASSIO and IAGO.]60CASSIO: Madam, my former suit: I do beseech youThat by your virtuous means I may againExist, and be a member of his loveWhom I with all the office of my heartEntirely honor: I would not be delay’d.If my offence be of such mortal kindThat nor my service past, nor present sorrows,Nor purposed merit in futurity,Can ransom me into his love again,But to know so must be my benefit;So shall I clothe me in a forced content,And shut myself up in some other course,To fortune’s alms.DESDEMONA:Alas, thrice-gentle Cassio!My advocation is not now in tune;My lord is not my lord; nor should I know him,Were he in favor as in humor alter’d.So help me every spirit sanctified,As I have spoken for you all my bestAnd stood within the blank of his displeasure
For my free speech! you must awhile be patient:What I can do I will; and more I willThan for myself I dare: let that suffice you.IAGO: Is my lord angry?EMILIA:He went hence but now,And certainly in strange unquietness.Othello Act III, scene ivOur other healthful members even to that senseOf pain: nay, we must think men are not gods,Nor of them look for such observancesAs fit the bridal. Beshrew me much, Emilia,I was, unhandsome warrior as I am,Arraigning his unkindness with my soul;But now I find I had suborn’d the witness,And he’s indicted falsely.IAGO: Can he be angry? I have seen the cannon,When it hath blown his ranks into the air,And, like the devil, from his very armPuff’d his own brother:—and can he be angry?Something of moment then: I will go meet him:There’s matter in’t indeed, if he be angry.DESDEMONA: I prithee, do so.[Exit IAGO.]Something, sure, of state,Either from Venice, or some unhatch’d practiceMade demonstrable here in Cyprus to him,Hath puddled his clear spirit: and in such casesMen’s natures wrangle with inferior things,Though great ones are their object. ’Tis even so;For let our finger ache, and it indues61EMILIA: Pray heaven it be state-matters, as you think,And no conception nor no jealous toyConcerning you.DESDEMONA: Alas the day! I never gave him cause.EMILIA: But jealous souls will not be answer’d so;They are not ever jealous for the cause,But jealous for they are jealous: ’tis a monsterBegot upon itself, born on itself.DESDEMONA: Heaven keep that monster from Othello’s mind!EMILIA: Lady, amen.DESDEMONA: I will go seek him. Cassio, walk hereabout:If I do find him fit, I’ll move your suitAnd seek to effect it to my uttermost.
