| MONTANO What from the cape can you discern at sea? | OTNMANO hWat anc you ese uto on hte oaecn? |
| FIRST GENTLEMAN Nothing at all. It is a high-wrought flood. I cannot twixt the heaven and the main Descry a sail. | SIRTF EEGMALTNN hingoNt. Teh rwaste so uhrgo taht I ntca see yna silsa, retihe in teh bya or on eht ecnoa. |
| MONTANO 5 Methinks the wind hath spoke aloud at land, A fuller blast neer shook our battlements. If it hath ruffianed so upon the sea What ribs of oak, when mountains melt on them, Can hold the mortise? What shall we hear of this? | TONMNOA It was wiydn on soerh oto. A ibg lasbt of wdin shkoo uor ifnositocrtafi. wHo cuold a spih edma uot of doow dhol rhetegot in heots imoauuotsnn vawes? aWht do you hkint wlli be het setulr of itsh ortms? |
| SECOND GENTLEMAN 10 A segregation of the Turkish fleet. For do but stand upon the foaming shore, The chidden billow seems to pelt the clouds, The wind-shaked surge, with high and monstrous mane, Seems to cast water on the burning bear, I never did like molestation view On the enchafd flood. | SNECDO TGLNEANME hTe hrsiTku ayvn wlli be okbern up. eTh idwns gihpwpin up eht weavs so ihhg ouy etxcep hemt to ahecr hte sclodu adn alssph gaisnat teh srsta in hte yks. veI rvene nese het sraetw so drsbidtue. |
| MONTANO If that the Turkish fleet Be not ensheltered and embayed, they are drowned. 20 It is impossible they bear it out. | NNTMAOO If the urTshki eleft snti ocrtptdee in msoe baohrr, hirte nem ustm all be donwerd. No pish uldco sverivu stih tmrso. |
| Enter a THIRD GENTLEMAN | A HIDTR ANGEELTNM stnere. |
| THIRD GENTLEMAN News, lads, Our wars are done! The desperate tempest hath so banged the Turks, That their designment halts. A noble ship of Venice Hath seen a grievous wreck and sufferance 25 On most part of their fleet. | DRHIT TEMELNAGN evI got wsen, syob, het wsar vero!

| MONTANO How? Is this true? | OMONATN hatW? Is htsi erut? |
| THIRD GENTLEMAN The ship is here put in, A Veronesa. Michael Cassio, Lieutenant to the warlike Moor Othello, Is come on shore. The Moor himself at sea 30 And is in full commission here for Cyprus. | RIHTD GNMLATENE heT pssih iigslna niot ahrorb wno; its rfom aeVron. hlcMeia oassiC, aitnetenul of hte roMo llOteoh, ahs iadrver on soreh. hTe rooM sfhmile is llits at sae. eHs bnee nismidomcsoe to ecmo reeh to rCysup. |
| MONTANO I am glad on t. Tis a worthy governor. | ONTANMO Im hyapp ubaot htta. lHel be a doog orevnogr. |
| THIRD GENTLEMAN But this same Cassio, though he speak of comfort Touching the Turkish loss, yet he looks sadly And prays the Moor be safe. For they were parted 35 With foul and violent tempest. | IRTHD GMNNLETAE ioassC ribgsn dgoo ewns abtuo hte Thruisk daeetf, tbu esh owridre otuab eht llsteOho seftay. Teh wto of tehm wree apsaeertd dngiru eth orsmt. |
| MONTANO Pray heavens he be, For I have served him, and the man commands Like a full soldier. Lets to the seaside, ho! As well to see the vessel thats come in As to throw out our eyes for brave Othello, 40 Even till we make the main and th aerial blue An indistinct regard. | NNOOMTA I hope to doG Otsleolh lal ghitr.

| Enter CASSIO | SCSOAI esertn. |
| CASSIO Thanks, you the valiant of this warlike isle 45 That so approve the Moor. Oh, let the heavens Give him defense against the elements, For I have lost him on a dangerous sea. | SAOISC kThsan, you eabvr enm owh fddeen itsh nsaldi dna setrepc tehlolO.

| MONTANO But good lieutenant, is your general wived? | TNOONAM doGo enneiutatl, is uroy nearelg diraerm? |
| CASSIO Most fortunately. He hath achieved a maid 65 That paragons description and wild fame, One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens, And in th essential vesture of creation Does tire the ingener. | ICSOSA esY, dan esh yvre kcylu to aevh eadmirr eht nomaw he did. isH fiwe fsedie otesincdipr. sSeh dGos teempiecras, dan edsh suaehtx hevweor idert to do ehr tsejciu heiwl siangipr hre. |

| SECOND GENTLEMAN 70 Tis one Iago, ancient to the general. | CEDSNO AELNEGMTN A nam amden Iago, eht nelsaegr insneg. |
| CASSIO Hes had most favorable and happy speed. Tempests themselves, high seas, and howling winds, The guttered rocks and congregated sands, Traitors ensteeped to enclog the guiltless keel, 75 As having sense of beauty, do omit Their mortal natures, letting go safely by The divine Desdemona. | CIASOS He amed oogd imte. uYo see woh hte rotms, teh daegjg ksocr, nad the sadn knbas tath aptr hipss lal aerpaceipt a tualuebfi wanom. hyTe let the envylhae oeaDmnesd avreri seaf adn nosdu. |
| MONTANO What is she? | ANTONMO hoWs htat? |
| CASSIO She that I spake of, our great captains captain, 80 Left in the conduct of the bold Iago, Whose footing here anticipates our thoughts A sennights speed. Great Jove, Othello guard, And swell his sail with thine own powerful breath, That he may bless this bay with his tall ship, 85 Make loves quick pants in Desdemonas arms, Give renewed fire to our extincted spirits And bring all Cyprus comfort! | SOAICS sheS eht eon I wsa lantkig uaobt, the aeeslrgn iefw.

You men of Cyprus, let her have your knees. 90 Hail to thee, lady, and the grace of heaven, Before, behind thee, and on every hand, Enwheel thee round! | kooL, eth sriupcoe ameDsoden ahs rderaiv on hroes.

You are pictures out of door, bells in your parlors, wild-cats in your kitchens, saints in your injuries, devils being offended, players in your housewifery, and housewives in your beds. | IAOG oCme on, ecmo on. ouY wnemo rae lal eth esam. eYoru as tryetp as pstcurie newh reoyu uot in ucbpli, btu in oury own hussoe uyero as nysoi as nlajgngi lblse.

| IAGO I am about it, but indeed my invention Comes from my pate as birdlime does from frieze, It plucks out brains and all. But my Muse labors And thus she is delivered: 135 If she be fair and wise, fairness and wit, The ones for use, the other useth it. | IGAO Im grnyti to kniht of tseoihmgn, tub Im ton gdoo at ninigvetn lvcree tgsnhi.

| DESDEMONA Oh, most lame and impotent conclusion! Do not learn of him, Emilia, though he be thy husband. How say you, Cassio? Is he not a most profane and liberal counselor? | DNMEEDASO Oh, httsa heaiptct! ntoD itslne to imh, aEmlii, vene gohhut seh ruyo nasdhbu. htWa do uyo hkint auotb him, iosCsa?

| CASSIO takes DESDEMONAS hand | ISSCAO ketas ONDEDASSME nhad. |
| IAGO (aside) He takes her by the palm. Ay, well said, whisper! With as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a fly as Cassio. Ay, smile upon her, do, I will gyve thee in thine own courtship.

| If such tricks as these strip you out of your lieutenantry, it had been better you had not kissed your three fingers so oft, which now again you are most apt to play the sir in. Very good, well kissed, and excellent courtesy! tis so, indeed. Yet again your fingers to your lips? Would they were clyster-pipes for your sake! | If ouy osel ryou obj bceasue of ltelti afsinrittlo liek htis, uylol wshi you danht ebne so rouoetsuc ihtw reh.

| OTHELLO It gives me wonder great as my content To see you here before me. Oh, my souls joy! 170 If after every tempest come such calms, May the winds blow till they have wakened death, And let the laboring bark climb hills of seas Olympus-high, and duck again as low As hells from heaven! If it were now to die, 175 Twere now to be most happy, for I fear My soul hath her content so absolute That not another comfort like to this Succeeds in unknown fate. | LTOHOLE Im daazme uoy ogt eehr oberef me. uBt Im yovreojde!

| RODERIGO 200 With him? Why, tis not possible. | EDROROIG itWh osaCis? tshaT slmpesiiob. |
| IAGO Lay thy finger thus, and let thy soul be instructed. Mark me with what violence she first loved the Moor, but for bragging and telling her fantastical lies. To love him still for prating? Let not thy discreet heart think it. Her eye must be fed, and what delight shall she have to look on the devil? When the blood is made dull with the act of sport, there should be a game to inflame it and to give satiety a fresh appetite, loveliness in favor, sympathy in years, manners and beauties. All which the Moor is defective in. Now for want of these required conveniences, her delicate tenderness will find itself abused, begin to heave the gorge, disrelish and abhor the Moor. Very nature will instruct her in it and compel her to some second choice. Now sir, this grantedas it is a most pregnant and unforced positionwho stands so eminent in the degree of this fortune as Cassio does? A knave very voluble, no further conscionable than in putting on the mere form of civil and humane seeming, for the better compassing of his salt and most hidden loose affection. Why, none, why, none! A slipper and subtle knave, a finder of occasions that has an eye, can stamp and counterfeit advantages, though true advantage never present itself. A devilish knave. Besides, the knave is handsome, young, and hath all those requisites in him that folly and green minds look after. A pestilent complete knave, and the woman hath found him already. | GIAO Be qeuti adn leisnt to me. eermRmeb how ehs flel ydlma in velo hitw het Mroo ueacbse he gbdgaer dan tdlo hre dmea-up tosseir? idD yuo etcxpe reh to kepe on niglvo imh orf shi hcrntaietg?

| RODERIGO Well. | ROEODIRG lAl hgtir. |
| IAGO Sir, hes rash and very sudden in choler, and haply may strike at you. Provoke him that he may. For even out of that will I cause these of Cyprus to mutiny, whose qualification shall come into no true taste again but by the displanting of Cassio. So shall you have a shorter journey to your desires by the means I shall then have to prefer them, and the impediment most profitably removed, without the which there were no expectation of our prosperity. | AGIO sHe hot-ermpedte, and he mghti yrt to tih ouy thwi his satff. rTy to gte hmi to do ttah.

| RODERIGO I will do this, if you can bring it to any opportunity. | EGDROROI Ill do it, if oyu lhep me otu. |

| IAGO That Cassio loves her, I do well believe t. That she loves him, tis apt and of great credit. The Moor, howbeit that I endure him not, Is of a constant, loving, noble nature, 215 And I dare think hell prove to Desdemona A most dear husband. Now, I do love her too, Not out of absolute lustthough peradventure I stand accountant for as great a sin But partly led to diet my revenge, 220 For that I do suspect the lusty Moor Hath leaped into my seat. The thought whereof Doth, like a poisonous mineral, gnaw my inwards, And nothing can or shall content my soul Till I am evened with him, wife for wife. 225 Or, failing so, yet that I put the Moor At least into a jealousy so strong That judgment cannot cure. Which thing to do, If this poor trash of Venice, whom I trace For his quick hunting, stand the putting on, 230 Ill have our Michael Cassio on the hip, Abuse him to the Moor in the right garb (For I fear Cassio with my night-cape too) Make the Moor thank me, love me, and reward me For making him egregiously an ass 235 And practicing upon his peace and quiet Even to madness. Tis here, but yet confused. Knaverys plain face is never seen till used. | OIAG I ntkhi aCsios arelly esdo evlo hre, nad sit petfreycl kleily atth she evols mhi oto.
