I think she stirs again:—no. What’s best to do?If she come in, she’ll sure speak to my wife:My wife! my wife! what wife? I have no wife.O insupportable! O heavy hour!Methinks it should be now a huge eclipseOf sun and moon, and that the affrighted globeShould yawn at alteration.EMILIA: [Within] I do beseech youThat I may speak with you, O, good my lord!OTHELLO: I had forgot thee: O, come in, Emilia;Soft; by and by. Let me the curtains draw.Where art thou?Othello Act V, scene iiOTHELLO: It is the very error of the moon;She comes more nearer earth than she was wont,And makes men mad.EMILIA: Cassio, my lord, hath kill’d a young VenetianCall’d Roderigo.OTHELLO:And Cassio kill’d!EMILIA:Roderigo kill’d!No, Cassio is not kill’d.OTHELLO: Not Cassio kill’d! then murder’s out of tune,And sweet revenge grows harsh.[Unlocks the door.]DESDEMONA: O, falsely, falsely murder’d![Enter EMILIA.]What’s the matter with thee now?EMILIA:OTHELLO: That! what?Alas, what cry is that?EMILIA: O, my good lord, yonder’s foul murders done!OTHELLO: What, now?EMILIA: But now, my lord.EMILIA: Out, and alas! that was my lady’s voice.Help! help, ho! help! O lady, speak again!Sweet Desdemona! O sweet mistress, speak!DESDEMONA: A guiltless death I die.92
EMILIA: O, who hath done this deed?DESDEMONA: Nobody; I myself. FarewellCommend me to my kind lord: O, farewell![Dies.]OTHELLO: Why, how should she be murder’d?EMILIA:Alas, who knows?OTHELLO: You heard her say herself, it was not I.EMILIA: She said so: I must needs report the truth.OTHELLO: She’s, like a liar, gone to burning hell:’Twas I that kill’d her.EMILIA:O, the more angel she,And you the blacker devil!Othello Act V, scene iiEMILIA:Thou art rash as fire, to sayThat she was false: O, she was heavenly true!OTHELLO: Cassio did top her; ask thy husband else.O, I were damn’d beneath all depth in hell,But that I did proceed upon just groundsTo this extremity. Thy husband knew it all.EMILIA: My husband!OTHELLO: Thy husband.EMILIA: That she was false to wedlock?OTHELLO: Ay, with Cassio. Nay, had she been true,If heaven would make me such another worldOf one entire and Perfect chrysolite,I’ld not have sold her for it.EMILIA: My husband!OTHELLO: She turn’d to folly, and she was a whore.EMILIA: Thou dost belie her, and thou art a devil.OTHELLO: Ay, ’twas he that told me first:An honest man he is, and hates the slimeThat sticks on filthy deeds.OTHELLO: She was false as water.EMILIA:My husband!93
