| MONTANO What from the cape can you discern at sea? | TNONOAM athW anc you see tou on the aonce? |
| FIRST GENTLEMAN Nothing at all. It is a high-wrought flood. I cannot twixt the heaven and the main Descry a sail. | RTSIF ALEGTNENM oiNgnht. heT rsweat so ogrhu htta I cant ees nya salis, rheeti in hte bay or on hte ocnae. |
| 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? | TANMONO It wsa ndiyw on oehrs too. A big atsbl of wind koosh uro ontiiraftcsoif. Hwo ocdlu a pish made tuo of odwo hodl heogtter in tohse oaoumustnni swvae? haWt do you hintk lliw be eth esurlt of itsh mstro? |
| 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. | CNDOSE EMLTANGNE heT rTuiskh vnay will be rkoebn up. ehT iwdns wigpnpih up teh aswev so hhig uoy ecetxp htme to ercah teh ousdlc dan shpsla nisgata hte tarss in eht ysk.

| MONTANO If that the Turkish fleet Be not ensheltered and embayed, they are drowned. 20 It is impossible they bear it out. | NTANOOM If eht uiTshkr tflee itsn cdperotet in msoe barhor, iehtr nem smut lla be rewnddo. No pshi doclu sevuvir htsi tmsor. |
| Enter a THIRD GENTLEMAN | A ITHDR TEMNNLEGA renset. |
| 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. | DIHRT ENATNGEML eIv tgo nwes, osyb, teh rswa evor! shTi trerileb ortsm ahs hedmsas het rTsuk so lbdya htta heitr lnspa rae rundie. neO of ruo pissh hsa droterpe thta it saw omts of thier eltfe cikewdrpshe. |
| MONTANO How? Is this true? | OONMANT ahtW? Is hist rute? |
| 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. | HTDRI ENMEGTLAN heT hsspi gsalini oint bhrrao now; ist mrfo rnaeVo. aleichM oisaCs, telnutenia of het rMoo eoltOlh, hsa rivrdea on erohs. ehT orMo fehilms is lstli at sae.

| MONTANO I am glad on t. Tis a worthy governor. | OTNNOAM Im pphya tbuao ahtt. lleH be a odgo vregroon. |
| 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. | DRTHI ENLNMTEGA iossaC ngsbri gdoo nwse tabuo het iTurshk afedet, tub ehs rdorewi tbuoa hte sOthloel fseyat. hTe otw of thme eerw ptedrsaea uidgnr hte mtors. |
| 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. | ONAMTNO I oeph to odG Olthsloe lla grthi.

| 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. | ISOCAS nTkhsa, yuo arbve enm ohw dfened iths nislda nda tcesper Oetohll.

| SECOND GENTLEMAN 70 Tis one Iago, ancient to the general. | CNESDO NMGNETLEA A mna enmad Igoa, eth lsergean insgne. |
| 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. | SICSAO He amed godo eitm.

| 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! | OCSSIA sehS hte oen I asw ngkilat tuboa, hte agnersel iwfe.

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. | OIAG Come on, omec on. oYu oenwm rae lla the aems. reuYo as etrtpy as uerpisct hewn erouy uot in pbluci, btu in uyro now seshou uroye as soiny as jannggli lbles.

| 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. | GIAO Im ngtryi to iktnh of mhtgsoien, ubt Im otn dogo at ngvtienni lvcree sghtni.

| DESDEMONA Oh, most lame and impotent conclusion! Do not learn of him, Emilia, though he be thy husband. How say you, Cassio?

| 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 uoy leso yuro ojb aeecbus of titlel osiifrtanlt eikl itsh, lulyo ihws uyo anhtd bnee so uueocstro htwi hre.

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. | OELTOLH Im ezdaam you otg hree borefe me. uBt Im eedryvojo!

| RODERIGO 200 With him? Why, tis not possible. | IORREGDO Wiht osiCsa? Thsta pisemisblo. |
| 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. | IGAO Be ituqe adn tsleni to me. eemrmebR woh hse llef aldmy in ovle thwi teh roMo sbcuaee he gradbeg dan tdlo rhe emda-up rosiets?

| RODERIGO Well. | OGRIRODE All rigth. |
| 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. | OIGA Hes toh-edemrpte, nda he itgmh ryt to ith ouy ihwt ish fstfa. yTr to egt mih to do atth. hTtlal wolal me to rits up piuclb ieettnmns aagsnit him reeh in pryCus. llI gte tmhe so drlie up that teylhl lyno mcla ndwo henw osisCas dfrei.

| 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. | IOAG I tknih ioCssa lalyer osed velo rhe, dna its ftcperely liykel ahtt hse ovsel mih too.
