EMILIA: Why, with my lord, madam.DESDEMONA: Who is thy lord?EMILIA:He that is yours, sweet lady.DESDEMONA: I have none: do not talk to me, Emilia;I cannot weep; nor answer have I none,But what should go by water. Prithee, tonightLay on my bed my wedding sheets: remember;And call thy husband hither.EMILIA:[Exit.]Here’s a change indeed!DESDEMONA: ’Tis meet I should be used so, very meet.How have I been behaved, that he might stickThe small’st opinion on my least misuse?Othello Act IV, scene iiHe might have chid me so; for, in good faith,I am a child to chiding.IAGO:What’s the matter, lady?EMILIA: Alas, Iago, my lord hath so bewhored her.Thrown such despite and heavy terms upon her,As true hearts cannot bear.DESDEMONA: Am I that name, Iago?IAGO:What name, fair lady?DESDEMONA: Such as she says my lord did say I was.EMILIA: He call’d her whore: a beggar in his drinkCould not have laid such terms upon his callat.IAGO: Why did he so?[Re-enter EMILIA with IAGO.]DESDEMONA: I do not know; I am sure I am none such.IAGO: What is your pleasure, madam?How is’t with you?DESDEMONA: I cannot tell. Those that do teach young babesDo it with gentle means and easy tasks:76IAGO: Do not weep, do not weep. Alas the day!EMILIA: Hath she forsook so many noble matches,Her father and her country and her friends,To be call’d whore? would it not make one weep?
DESDEMONA: It is my wretched fortune.IAGO:Beshrew him for’t!How comes this trick upon him?DESDEMONA:Nay, heaven doth know.EMILIA: I will be hang’d, if some eternal villain,Some busy and insinuating rogue,Some cogging, cozening slave, to get some office,Have not devised this slander; I’ll be hang’d else.IAGO: Fie, there is no such man; it is impossible.DESDEMONA: If any such there be, heaven pardon him!EMILIA: A halter pardon him! and hell gnaw his bones!Why should he call her whore? who keeps her company?What place? what time? what form? what likelihood?The Moor’s abused by some most villanous knave,Some base notorious knave, some scurvy fellow.O heaven, that such companions thou’ldst unfold,And put in every honest hand a whipTo lash the rascals naked through the worldEven from the east to the west!IAGO:Speak within door.Othello Act IV, scene iiEMILIA: O, fie upon them! Some such squire he wasThat turn’d your wit the seamy side without,And made you to suspect me with the Moor.77IAGO: You are a fool; go to.DESDEMONA:O good Iago,What shall I do to win my lord again?Good friend, go to him; for, by this light of heaven,I know not how I lost him. Here I kneel:If e’er my will did trespass ‘gainst his love,Either in discourse of thought or actual deed,Or that mine eyes, mine ears, or any sense,Delighted them in any other form;Or that I do not yet, and ever did.And ever will—though he do shake me offTo beggarly divorcement—love him dearly,Comfort forswear me! Unkindness may do much;And his unkindness may defeat my life,But never taint my love. I cannot say ‘whore:’It does abhor me now I speak the word;To do the act that might the addition earnNot the world’s mass of vanity could make me.IAGO: I pray you, be content; ’tis but his humor:The business of the state does him offence,And he does chide with you.
