Othello Act V, scene iiOTHELLO: What needs this iteration, woman? I say thy [Enter MONTANO, GRATIANO, IAGO, and others.]husband.EMILIA: O mistress, villany hath made mocks with love,My husband say that she was false!OTHELLO:He, woman;I say thy husband: dost understand the word?My friend, thy husband, honest, honest Iago.EMILIA: If he say so, may his pernicious soulRot half a grain a day! he lies to the heart:She was too fond of her most filthy bargain.OTHELLO: Ha!EMILIA: Do thy worst:This deed of thine is no more worthy heavenThan thou wast worthy her.OTHELLO:Peace, you were best.EMILIA: Thou hast not half that power to do me harmAs I have to be hurt. O gull! O dolt!As ignorant as dirt! thou hast done a deed—I care not for thy sword; I’ll make thee known,Though I lost twenty lives.—Help! help, ho! help!The Moor hath kill’d my mistress! Murder! murder!94MONTANO: What is the matter? How now, general!EMILIA: O, are you come, Iago? you have done well,That men must lay their murders on your neck.GRATIANO: What is the matter?EMILIA: Disprove this villain, if thou be’st a man:He says thou told’st him that his wife was false:I know thou didst not, thou’rt not such a villain:Speak, for my heart is full.IAGO: I told him what I thought, and told no moreThan what he found himself was apt and true.EMILIA: But did you ever tell him she was false?IAGO: I did.EMILIA: You told a lie, an odious, damned lie;Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie.She false with Cassio!—did you say with Cassio?IAGO: With Cassio, mistress. Go to, charm your tongue.
Othello Act V, scene iiEMILIA: I will not charm my tongue; I am bound to speak: [He falls on the bed.]My mistress here lies murder’d in her bed,—EMILIA: Nay, lay thee down and roar;All: O heavens forfend!For thou hast kill’d the sweetest innocentThat e’er did lift up eye.EMILIA: And your reports have set the murder on.OTHELLO:[Rising] O, she was foul!OTHELLO: Nay, stare not, masters: it is true, indeed. I scarce did know you, uncle: there lies your niece,Whose breath, indeed, these hands have newly stopp’d:GRATIANO: ’Tis a strange truth.I know this act shows horrible and grim.MONTANO: O monstrous act!EMILIA:Villany, villany, villany!I think upon’t, I think: I smell’t: O villany!—I thought so then:—I’ll kill myself for grief:—O villany, villany!IAGO: What, are you mad? I charge you, get you home.EMILIA: Good gentlemen, let me have leave to speak:’Tis proper I obey him, but not now.Perchance, Iago, I will ne’er go home.OTHELLO: O! O! O!GRATIANO: Poor Desdemona! I am glad thy father’s dead:Thy match was mortal to him, and pure griefShore his old thread in twain: did he live now,This sight would make him do a desperate turn,Yea, curse his better angel from his side,And fall to reprobation.OTHELLO: ’Tis pitiful; but yet Iago knowsThat she with Cassio hath the act of shameA thousand times committed; Cassio confess’d it:And she did gratify his amorous worksWith that recognizance and pledge of loveWhich I first gave her; I saw it in his hand:It was a handkerchief, an antique tokenMy father gave my mother.95
