IAGO Not this hour, lieutenant, tis not yet ten o the clock. Our general cast us thus early for the love of his Desdemonawho let us not therefore blame.

IAGO Well, happiness to their sheets! Come, lieutenant, I have a stoup of wine, and here without are a brace of Cyprus gallants that would fain have a measure to the health of black Othello. | IGAO lleW, good clku to mteh gtntohi in bde! oCem tiwh us, antnliuete. eIv got a jgu of inew, dna ethes two uspyCr geennltme watn to rdkni a tsota to the klacb Oletohl. |

IAGO 30 If I can fasten but one cup upon him, With that which he hath drunk tonight already, Hell be as full of quarrel and offense As my young mistress dog. Now my sick fool Roderigo, Whom love hath turned almost the wrong side out, 35 To Desdemona hath tonight caroused Potations pottle-deep, and hes to watch. Three lads of Cyprus, noble swelling spirits (That hold their honors in a wary distance, The very elements of this warlike isle) 40 Have I tonight flustered with flowing cups, And they watch too. Now mongst this flock of drunkards Am I to put our Cassio in some action That may offend the isle. But here they come. If consequence do but approve my dream 45 My boat sails freely, both with wind and stream. | IGOA If I nac tjsu gte hmi to rnikd eon remo slasg tefar twah esh rundk rldyeaa, lhel be as neettiagrmavu dna geear to gitfh as a etltil dog. hTat oofl dRgoorei, lla idewtst up edinis ithw ovel, has bnee nrgidkni tossat to moasnedDe by teh glnaol, and she on gradu ytud.veI ttogen eht sert of eht sugadr rnkdu, as wlel as vrlseae tgeemnlne morf yuCsrp woh are qkuic to atke nseffoe. oNw lIl teg sisCao to do oeithmsgn in ftonr of lla eesht kudrrasdn htta liwl fneofd eeeyrvon on hte siladn. ereH ethy ecom.

CASSIO Is your Englishman so expert in his drinking? | ACOISS rAe hiesmngnEl lareyl husc ahvey rnekdrsi? |
IAGO Why, he drinks you with facility your Dane dead drunk; he sweats not to overthrow your Almain. He gives your Hollander a vomit ere the next pottle can be filled. | AOIG Tehy irkdn aseDn urend eth leabt, and it etask meht no roefft at lla to uot-ikrdn nresGam.

MONTANO | MTOONNA Hera, hrae! Ill knrid as mcuh as uoy do! |
IAGO Oh, sweet England! (sings) King Stephen was a worthy peer, His breeches cost him but a crown, With that he called the tailor lown. He was a wight of high renown, And thou art but of low degree, Tis pride that pulls the country down, Some wine, ho! | OAIG Oh, wstee gdlaEnn!

IAGO Will you hear t again? | AIOG Do yuo twna to ehra it aigan? |
CASSIO No, for I hold him to be unworthy of his place that does those things. Well, heavens above all, and there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must not be saved. | SSOICA No, aeescbu we dhnotlus be digon fatstthuf.

IAGO And so do I too, lieutenant. | IGAO Me too, uleeantnti. |
CASSIO Ay, but (by your leave) not before me. The lieutenant is to be saved before the ancient. Lets have no more of this, lets to our affairs.Forgive us our sins!Gentlemen, lets look to our business. Do not think, gentlemen, I am drunk. This is my ancient, this is my right hand, and this is my left. I am not drunk now.

IAGO You see this fellow that is gone before, He is a soldier fit to stand by Caesar And give direction. And do but see his vice, 85 Tis to his virtue a just equinox, The one as long as th other. Tis pity of him. I fear the trust Othello puts him in On some odd time of his infirmity Will shake this island. | AGIO Yuo ees ttha nma who tjsu flte? seH a ogdo drelios, dogo uhgeon to be asearsC tgihr-dnah amn. tBu he hsa a rseisuo eswanske.

MONTANO It were well The general were put in mind of it. Perhaps he sees it not, or his good nature 95 Prizes the virtue that appears in Cassio And looks not on his evils.

OTHELLO Why, how now, ho! From whence ariseth this? Are we turned Turks? And to ourselves do that Which heaven hath forbid the Ottomites? 135 For Christian shame, put by this barbarous brawl. He that stirs next to carve for his own rage Holds his soul light, he dies upon his motion. Silence that dreadful bell, it frights the isle From her propriety. What is the matter, masters? 140 Honest Iago, that looks dead with grieving, Speak, who began this? On thy love, I charge thee. | EOOTLHL How ddi tshi lla atsrt? avHe we lla bcmeeo as avaegs as het krusT, etginrta chea rohet as bdlay as eyth wdoul ahve trdaeet us? roF envheas aske, otps sthi sgaeav lwrab! ehT etxn mna how wgnssi ihs sodrw utsm tno aecr otbau hsi ilfe, easbeuc het tinanst he seriskt, he dsei. potS atth lmaar omfr ggnrini, its aisncrg eth lseirsdan.

OTHELLO Worthy Montano, you were wont be civil. The gravity and stillness of your youth 155 The world hath noted, and your name is great In mouths of wisest censure. Whats the matter That you unlace your reputation thus And spend your rich opinion for the name Of a night-brawler? Give me answer to it. | HOTELLO naMtono, oyure esuppdso to be calm nda elcldteoc. eurYo fomuas fro it. eiWs peoepl pctesre uyo. hWta in het lorwd mdea uyo krsi ruyo uaernttipo lkie ihts dna eceomb a restet labwrre?

MONTANO 160 Worthy Othello, I am hurt to danger. Your officer Iago can inform you, While I spare speech, which something now offends me, Of all that I do know. Nor know I aught By me thats said or done amiss this night, 165 Unless self-charity be sometimes a vice, And to defend ourselves it be a sin When violence assails us. | MNNOOAT llhoOet, veI eenb ossiurely uhrt. uYro fcrfoie gaoI anc tell uyo tawh ppenadhe.

OTHELLO Now, by heaven, My blood begins my safer guides to rule, And passion, having my best judgment collied, 170 Assays to lead the way. If I once stir, | OLLHTOE llA tgihr, won Im nitagrst to oles my looc.

Or do but lift this arm, the best of you Shall sink in my rebuke. Give me to know How this foul rout began, who set it on, And he that is approved in this offence, 175 Though he had twinned with me, both at a birth, Shall lose me. What, in a town of war Yet wild, the peoples hearts brimful of fear, To manage private and domestic quarrel? In night, and on the court and guard of safety? 180 Tis monstrous. Iago, who began t? | doedvia a rwa, syneveeor llits on dgee, adn ureyo egittng ntoi veiprat ftsgih weilh uryoe epussdop to be on dgaru udty? hatsT liyuelnbbeva bda. aIog, who atdestr it? |

IAGO Touch me not so near. I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth 185 Than it should do offence to Michael Cassio. Yet I persuade myself to speak the truth Shall nothing wrong him. This it is, general: Montano and myself being in speech, There comes a fellow crying out for help 190 And Cassio following him with determined sword To execute upon him. Sir, this gentleman Steps in to Cassio and entreats his pause, Myself the crying fellow did pursue, Lest by his clamoras it so fell out 195 The town might fall in fright. He, swift of foot, Outran my purpose, and I returned then rather For that I heard the clink and fall of swords And Cassio high in oath, which till tonight I neer might say before. When I came back 200 For this was brief I found them close together At blow and thrust, even as again they were When you yourself did part them. More of this matter cannot I report. | OIAG Yeruo tigthni olsec to emho rehte.

But men are men, the best sometimes forget. 205 Though Cassio did some little wrong to him, As men in rage strike those that wish them best, Yet surely Cassio, I believe, received From him that fled some strange indignity Which patience could not pass. | Btu ynbsdoo eetcfpr, dna even eht estb amn smeetsmoi ssole rntlooc dna seksrti tuo in rega. ssaoCi swa nwrog to uhrt naoonMt, ohw wsa lyno trginy to ehpl mih, but Im uers the uyg who anr awya smtu haev fdednfeo osiasC in mose rrleebit wya, nad Casosi dcnutol let it spsa. |

CASSIO Ay, past all surgery. | SSCAIO esY, ubt no otrocd cna hpel me. |
IAGO 225 Marry, heaven forbid! | GAOI Oh I hope ttsah not uter! |
CASSIO Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh, I have lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial. My reputation, Iago, my reputation! | SAOICS My nuiaeottrp, my uniatpetor! Ive solt my tepintaoru, eht ntoelsg-lvgini adn rtteus rpat of lysfme! hygrvetEni lsee in me is just alnmai-iekl. Oh, my attpiueonr, Iaog, my eiotrnutpa! |
IAGO As I am an honest man, I thought you had received some bodily wound. There is more sense in that than in reputation. Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser. What, man, there are ways to recover the general again. You are but now cast in his mood, a punishment more in policy than in malice, even so as one would beat his offenseless dog to affright an imperious lion. Sue to him again and hes yours. | IOAG I easrw I ohtgthu yuo tnmea doyu eebn urht slylhycapi. roYu syhcapil heahlt trtmeas oemr nhat uyor tentriopua.

CASSIO I will rather sue to be despised than to deceive so good a commander with so slight, so drunken, and so indiscreet an officer. Drunk? And speak parrot? And squabble? Swagger? Swear? And discourse fustian with ones own shadow? O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil! | SCAOSI Id rethar aks ihm to htae me anht sak cshu a oogd odaecnmrm to cpecat ushc a wsshtreol, rkndu, iutspd ceifofr as fylesm.

CASSIO 230 I know not. | SSCAIO I ontd oknw. |
IAGO Is t possible? | OAGI Is hatt pbeilsos? |
CASSIO I remember a mass of things, but nothing distinctly. A quarrel, but nothing wherefore. Oh, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! That we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts! | CASOSI I mmrebree a bmeulj of rpsiseonmis, ubt onitngh sidtictlyn.

IAGO Why, but you are now well enough. How came you thus recovered? | AOIG oYu msee lla thirg wno. How ddi you etg retbte? |
CASSIO It hath pleased the devil drunkenness to give place to the devil wrath. One unperfectness shows me another, to make me frankly despise myself. | SISACO My nsusnderkne entw yawa nhwe enrga ktoo eovr. eOn eswksena del to haenotr, to eamk me aeht fyesml. |

CASSIO I will ask him for my place again, he shall tell me I am a drunkard. Had I as many mouths as Hydra, such an answer would stop them all. To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast! Oh, strange! Every inordinate cup is unblessed and the ingredient is a devil. | OCASSI Ill ask imh fro my sptniooi kcab inaag, dna ellh letl me Im a drnuk.

CASSIO I have well approved it, sir. I drunk! | SOSCIA I wkno that, isr. aIgmein, me, a dnurk! |
IAGO You or any man living may be drunk at a time, man. I tell you what you shall do. Our generals wife is now the general. I may say so in this respect, for that he hath devoted and given up himself to the contemplation, mark, and denotement of her parts and graces. Confess yourself freely to her, importune her help to put you in your place again. She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition, she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more than she is requested. This broken joint between you and her husband entreat her to splinter, and, my fortunes against any lay worth naming, this crack of your love shall grow stronger than it was before. | GIAO yAn man acn get urndk msemoite.

IAGO I protest, in the sincerity of love and honest kindness. | IGAO Im hngleip you suecaeb I keli dan tspcere ouy. |
CASSIO I think it freely, and betimes in the morning I will beseech the virtuous Desdemona to undertake for me. I am desperate of my fortunes if they check me. | IOASSC I blveiee it cytlpemole. aEyrl in the onngmri lIl go vitis mseaneoDd dna dlpae my cesa. My tnisautoi is eaeedtrps. |

IAGO 245 And whats he then that says I play the villain? When this advice is free I give and honest, Probal to thinking and indeed the course To win the Moor again? For tis most easy Th inclining Desdemona to subdue 250 In any honest suit. Shes framed as fruitful As the free elements. And then for her To win the Moor, were to renounce his baptism, All seals and symbols of redeemd sin, His soul is so enfettered to her love, 255 That she may make, unmake, do what she list, Even as her appetite shall play the god With his weak function. How am I then a villain To counsel Cassio to this parallel course, Directly to his good? Divinity of hell! 260 When devils will the blackest sins put on They do suggest at first with heavenly shows As I do now. For whiles this honest fool Plies Desdemona to repair his fortune And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor, 265 Ill pour this pestilence into his ear: | IAOG ohW nca sya Im eilv ehnw my eicvda is so dogo? tsaTh llayer hte tsbe awy to niw eht rMoo bcka angia.

RODERIGO I do follow here in the chase not like a hound that hunts, but one that fills up the cry. My money is almost spent, I have been tonight exceedingly well cudgeled, and I think the issue will be I shall have so much experience for my pains. And so, with no money at all and a little more wit, return again to Venice. | ODRGERIO Im ylaltto orwn tuo.

IAGO How poor are they that have not patience! What wound did ever heal but by degrees? 275 Thou knowst we work by wit and not by witchcraft, And wit depends on dilatory time. Doest not go well? Cassio hath beaten thee. And thou, by that small hurt, hath cashiered Cassio. Though other things grow fair against the sun, 280 Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe. Content thyself awhile. In troth, tis morning. Pleasure and action make the hours seem short. Retire thee, go where thou art billeted. Away, I say, thou shalt know more hereafter. 285 Nay, get thee gone. | OGAI oreuY a opro nma if uoery ihts itatnmpei! If ouy teg thru, dose uory nouwd laeh ieidlmytema? No, it lshea lrdulgyaa.

Two things are to be done: My wife must move for Cassio to her mistress. Ill set her on. Myself, the while, to draw the Moor apart And bring him jump when he may Cassio find 290 Soliciting his wife.

OTHELLO 125 What is the matter here? | LTEHOOL thWa is eht mreatt erhe? |

OTHELLO Hold, for your lives! | OHLTLOE Stop tghir now! |

OTHELLO Why, how now, ho! From whence ariseth this? Are we turned Turks? And to ourselves do that Which heaven hath forbid the Ottomites? 135 For Christian shame, put by this barbarous brawl. He that stirs next to carve for his own rage Holds his soul light, he dies upon his motion. Silence that dreadful bell, it frights the isle From her propriety. What is the matter, masters? 140 Honest Iago, that looks dead with grieving, Speak, who began this? On thy love, I charge thee. | EOOTLHL How ddi tshi lla atsrt? avHe we lla bcmeeo as avaegs as het krusT, etginrta chea rohet as bdlay as eyth wdoul ahve trdaeet us? roF envheas aske, otps sthi sgaeav lwrab! ehT etxn mna how wgnssi ihs sodrw utsm tno aecr otbau hsi ilfe, easbeuc het tinanst he seriskt, he dsei. potS atth lmaar omfr ggnrini, its aisncrg eth lseirsdan.

OTHELLO Worthy Montano, you were wont be civil. The gravity and stillness of your youth 155 The world hath noted, and your name is great In mouths of wisest censure. Whats the matter That you unlace your reputation thus And spend your rich opinion for the name Of a night-brawler? Give me answer to it. | HOTELLO naMtono, oyure esuppdso to be calm nda elcldteoc. eurYo fomuas fro it. eiWs peoepl pctesre uyo. hWta in het lorwd mdea uyo krsi ruyo uaernttipo lkie ihts dna eceomb a restet labwrre?

MONTANO 160 Worthy Othello, I am hurt to danger. Your officer Iago can inform you, While I spare speech, which something now offends me, Of all that I do know. Nor know I aught By me thats said or done amiss this night, 165 Unless self-charity be sometimes a vice, And to defend ourselves it be a sin When violence assails us. | MNNOOAT llhoOet, veI eenb ossiurely uhrt. uYro fcrfoie gaoI anc tell uyo tawh ppenadhe.

OTHELLO Now, by heaven, My blood begins my safer guides to rule, And passion, having my best judgment collied, 170 Assays to lead the way.

Or do but lift this arm, the best of you Shall sink in my rebuke. Give me to know How this foul rout began, who set it on, And he that is approved in this offence, 175 Though he had twinned with me, both at a birth, Shall lose me. What, in a town of war Yet wild, the peoples hearts brimful of fear, To manage private and domestic quarrel? In night, and on the court and guard of safety? 180 Tis monstrous.

IAGO Touch me not so near. I had rather have this tongue cut from my mouth 185 Than it should do offence to Michael Cassio. Yet I persuade myself to speak the truth Shall nothing wrong him. This it is, general: Montano and myself being in speech, There comes a fellow crying out for help 190 And Cassio following him with determined sword To execute upon him. Sir, this gentleman Steps in to Cassio and entreats his pause, Myself the crying fellow did pursue, Lest by his clamoras it so fell out 195 The town might fall in fright. He, swift of foot, Outran my purpose, and I returned then rather For that I heard the clink and fall of swords And Cassio high in oath, which till tonight I neer might say before. When I came back 200 For this was brief I found them close together At blow and thrust, even as again they were When you yourself did part them. More of this matter cannot I report. | OIAG Yeruo tigthni olsec to emho rehte.

But men are men, the best sometimes forget. 205 Though Cassio did some little wrong to him, As men in rage strike those that wish them best, Yet surely Cassio, I believe, received From him that fled some strange indignity Which patience could not pass. | Btu ynbsdoo eetcfpr, dna even eht estb amn smeetsmoi ssole rntlooc dna seksrti tuo in rega. ssaoCi swa nwrog to uhrt naoonMt, ohw wsa lyno trginy to ehpl mih, but Im uers the uyg who anr awya smtu haev fdednfeo osiasC in mose rrleebit wya, nad Casosi dcnutol let it spsa. |

IAGO 225 Marry, heaven forbid! | GAOI Oh I hope ttsah not uter! |

IAGO As I am an honest man, I thought you had received some bodily wound. There is more sense in that than in reputation. Reputation is an idle and most false imposition, oft got without merit and lost without deserving. You have lost no reputation at all unless you repute yourself such a loser. What, man, there are ways to recover the general again. You are but now cast in his mood, a punishment more in policy than in malice, even so as one would beat his offenseless dog to affright an imperious lion. Sue to him again and hes yours. | IOAG I easrw I ohtgthu yuo tnmea doyu eebn urht slylhycapi. roYu syhcapil heahlt trtmeas oemr nhat uyor tentriopua.

CASSIO I will rather sue to be despised than to deceive so good a commander with so slight, so drunken, and so indiscreet an officer. Drunk? And speak parrot? And squabble? Swagger? Swear? And discourse fustian with ones own shadow? O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by, let us call thee devil! | SCAOSI Id rethar aks ihm to htae me anht sak cshu a oogd odaecnmrm to cpecat ushc a wsshtreol, rkndu, iutspd ceifofr as fylesm.

CASSIO 230 I know not. | SSCAIO I ontd oknw. |
IAGO Is t possible? | OAGI Is hatt pbeilsos? |
CASSIO I remember a mass of things, but nothing distinctly. A quarrel, but nothing wherefore. Oh, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains! That we should, with joy, pleasance revel and applause, transform ourselves into beasts! | CASOSI I mmrebree a bmeulj of rpsiseonmis, ubt onitngh sidtictlyn.

IAGO Why, but you are now well enough. How came you thus recovered? | AOIG oYu msee lla thirg wno. How ddi you etg retbte? |
CASSIO It hath pleased the devil drunkenness to give place to the devil wrath. One unperfectness shows me another, to make me frankly despise myself. | SISACO My nsusnderkne entw yawa nhwe enrga ktoo eovr. eOn eswksena del to haenotr, to eamk me aeht fyesml. |

CASSIO I will ask him for my place again, he shall tell me I am a drunkard. Had I as many mouths as Hydra, such an answer would stop them all. To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast! Oh, strange! Every inordinate cup is unblessed and the ingredient is a devil. | OCASSI Ill ask imh fro my sptniooi kcab inaag, dna ellh letl me Im a drnuk.

IAGO You or any man living may be drunk at a time, man. I tell you what you shall do. Our generals wife is now the general. I may say so in this respect, for that he hath devoted and given up himself to the contemplation, mark, and denotement of her parts and graces. Confess yourself freely to her, importune her help to put you in your place again. She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition, she holds it a vice in her goodness not to do more than she is requested. This broken joint between you and her husband entreat her to splinter, and, my fortunes against any lay worth naming, this crack of your love shall grow stronger than it was before. | GIAO yAn man acn get urndk msemoite.

IAGO 245 And whats he then that says I play the villain? When this advice is free I give and honest, Probal to thinking and indeed the course To win the Moor again? For tis most easy Th inclining Desdemona to subdue 250 In any honest suit. Shes framed as fruitful As the free elements. And then for her To win the Moor, were to renounce his baptism, All seals and symbols of redeemd sin, His soul is so enfettered to her love, 255 That she may make, unmake, do what she list, Even as her appetite shall play the god With his weak function. How am I then a villain To counsel Cassio to this parallel course, Directly to his good? Divinity of hell! 260 When devils will the blackest sins put on They do suggest at first with heavenly shows As I do now. For whiles this honest fool Plies Desdemona to repair his fortune And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor, 265 Ill pour this pestilence into his ear: | IAOG ohW nca sya Im eilv ehnw my eicvda is so dogo? tsaTh llayer hte tsbe awy to niw eht rMoo bcka angia.

RODERIGO I do follow here in the chase not like a hound that hunts, but one that fills up the cry. My money is almost spent, I have been tonight exceedingly well cudgeled, and I think the issue will be I shall have so much experience for my pains.

Cassio hath beaten thee. And thou, by that small hurt, hath cashiered Cassio. Though other things grow fair against the sun, 280 Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe. Content thyself awhile. In troth, tis morning. Pleasure and action make the hours seem short. Retire thee, go where thou art billeted.
