Othello Act IV, scene iiYou are welcome, sir, to Cyprus.—Goats and monkeys! IAGO:[Exit.]LODOVICO: Is this the noble Moor whom our full senateCall all in all sufficient? Is this the natureWhom passion could not shake? whose solid virtueThe shot of accident, nor dart of chance,Could neither graze nor pierce?IAGO:He is much changed.LODOVICO: Are his wits safe? is he not light of brain?IAGO: He’s that he is: I may not breathe my censureWhat he might be: if what he might he is not,I would to heaven he were!LODOVICO:What, strike his wife!IAGO: ‘Faith, that was not so well; yet would I knewThat stroke would prove the worst!LODOVICO:Is it his use?Or did the letters work upon his blood,And new-create this fault?72Alas, alas!It is not honesty in me to speakWhat I have seen and known. You shall observe him,And his own courses will denote him soThat I may save my speech: do but go after,And mark how he continues.LODOVICO: I am sorry that I am deceived in him.[Exeunt.]SCENE II: A room in the castle.[Enter OTHELLO and EMILIA.]OTHELLO: You have seen nothing then?EMILIA: Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect.OTHELLO: Yes, you have seen Cassio and she together.EMILIA: But then I saw no harm, and then I heardEach syllable that breath made up between them.OTHELLO: What, did they never whisper?EMILIA:Never, my lord.
OTHELLO: Nor send you out o’ the way?EMILIA: Never.Othello Act IV, scene iiAnd yet she’ll kneel and pray; I have seen her do’t.[Enter DESDEMONA with EMILIA.]OTHELLO: To fetch her fan, her gloves, her mask, nornothing?EMILIA: Never, my lord.OTHELLO: That’s strange.EMILIA: I durst, my lord, to wager she is honest,Lay down my soul at stake: if you think other,Remove your thought; it doth abuse your bosom.If any wretch have put this in your head,Let heaven requite it with the serpent’s curse!For, if she be not honest, chaste, and true,There’s no man happy; the purest of their wivesIs foul as slander.DESDEMONA: My lord, what is your will?OTHELLO:DESDEMONA: What is your pleasure?OTHELLO:Look in my face.DESDEMONA:Pray, chuck, come hither.Let me see your eyes;What horrible fancy’s this?OTHELLO: [To Emilia] Some of your function, mistress;Leave procreants alone and shut the door;Cough, or cry ‘hem,’ if any body come:Your mystery, your mystery: nay, dispatch.OTHELLO:Bid her come hither: go.[Exit Emilia.][Exit Emilia.]She says enough; yet she’s a simple bawdThat cannot say as much. This is a subtle whore,A closet lock and key of villanous secrets73DESDEMONA: Upon my knees, what doth your speech import?I understand a fury in your words.But not the words.OTHELLO: Why, what art thou?
