IAGO: This is the fruit of whoring. Prithee, Emilia,Go know of Cassio where he supp’d to-night.Othello Act V, scene iiThis is the nightThat either makes me or fordoes me quite.[To Bianca]What, do you shake at that?BIANCA: He supp’d at my house; but I therefore shakenot.IAGO: O, did he so? I charge you, go with me.EMILIA: Fie, fie upon thee, strumpet!BIANCA: I am no strumpet; but of life as honestAs you that thus abuse me.EMILIA:As I! foh! fie upon thee!IAGO: Kind gentlemen, let’s go see poor Cassio dress’d.Come, mistress, you must tell’s another tale.Emilia run you to the citadel,And tell my lord and lady what hath happ’d.Will you go on? I pray.[Aside][Exeunt.]SCENE II: A bedchamber in the castle:DESDEMONA in bed asleep; a light burning.[Enter OTHELLO.]OTHELLO: It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul,—Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars!—It is the cause. Yet I’ll not shed her blood;Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow,And smooth as monumental alabaster.Yet she must die, else she’ll betray more men.Put out the light, and then put out the light:If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,I can again thy former light restore,Should I repent me: but once put out thy light,Thou cunning’st pattern of excelling nature,I know not where is that Promethean heatThat can thy light relume. When I have pluck’d the rose,I cannot give it vital growth again.It must needs wither: I’ll smell it on the tree.88
[Kissing her.]Ah balmy breath, that dost almost persuadeJustice to break her sword! One more, one more.Be thus when thou art dead, and I will kill thee,And love thee after. One more, and this the last:So sweet was ne’er so fatal. I must weep,But they are cruel tears: this sorrow’s heavenly;It strikes where it doth love. She wakes.Othello Act V, scene iiI would not kill thy unprepared spirit;No; heaven forfend! I would not kill thy soul.DESDEMONA: Talk you of killing?OTHELLO:DESDEMONA:Have mercy on me!Ay, I do.Then heavenDESDEMONA: Who’s there? Othello?OTHELLO:Amen, with all my heart!OTHELLO:Ay. Desdemona.DESDEMONA: If you say so, I hope you will not kill me.DESDEMONA: Will you come to bed, my lord?OTHELLO: Have you pray’d to-night, Desdemona?DESDEMONA:Ay, my lord.OTHELLO: If you bethink yourself of any crimeUnreconciled as yet to heaven and grace,Solicit for it straight.DESDEMONA: Alas, my lord, what do you mean by that?OTHELLO: Well, do it, and be brief; I will walk by:89OTHELLO: Hum!DESDEMONA: And yet I fear you; for you are fatal thenWhen your eyes roll so: why I should fear I know not,Since guiltiness I know not; but yet I feel I fear.OTHELLO: Think on thy sins.DESDEMONA:OTHELLO: Ay, and for that thou diest.They are loves I bear to you.DESDEMONA: That death’s unnatural that kills for loving.
