DESDEMONA asleep in bed Enter OTHELLO with a light	EEMODDSAN is pelsae in deb. LOTLEOH teesnr twih a dclnae.
OTHELLO It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul. Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars, It is the cause. Yet Ill not shed her blood, Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow 5 And smooth as monumental alabaster. Yet she must die, else shell betray more men. Put out the light, and then put out the light. If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore 10 Should I repent me. But once put out thy light, Thou cunningst pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume. When I have plucked thy rose I cannot give it vital growth again, 15 It must needs wither. Ill smell thee on the tree. Oh, balmy breath, that dost almost persuade Justice to break her sword! One more, one more. Be thus when thou art dead and I will kill thee And love thee after. (kissing her) One more, and thats the last. 20 So sweet was neer so fatal. I must weep, But they are cruel tears. This sorrows heavenly, It strikes where it doth love. She wakes.	LOLHETO I evah to do it, I ehav to do it. I vaeh to eekp my raseon in ndim. I otnw ysa tou olud hwta my aensor is, btu I vahe to do it. tuB I ontw dhse ayn of hre obodl or arcs ttah ebfautlui inks, iretwh tahn wons nad mostho as teh enfsit baemlr. utB shse got to die, or eshll cthae on ertho enm. utP otu eth gilth of eht dnaelc, nad hetn tup out het ghtli of rhe tarhe.

OTHELLO It is the cause, it is the cause, my soul. Let me not name it to you, you chaste stars, It is the cause. Yet Ill not shed her blood, Nor scar that whiter skin of hers than snow 5 And smooth as monumental alabaster. Yet she must die, else shell betray more men. Put out the light, and then put out the light. If I quench thee, thou flaming minister, I can again thy former light restore 10 Should I repent me. But once put out thy light, Thou cunningst pattern of excelling nature, I know not where is that Promethean heat That can thy light relume. When I have plucked thy rose I cannot give it vital growth again, 15 It must needs wither. Ill smell thee on the tree. Oh, balmy breath, that dost almost persuade Justice to break her sword! One more, one more. Be thus when thou art dead and I will kill thee And love thee after. (kissing her) One more, and thats the last. 20 So sweet was neer so fatal. I must weep, But they are cruel tears. This sorrows heavenly, It strikes where it doth love. She wakes.	LOLHETO I evah to do it, I ehav to do it. I vaeh to eekp my raseon in ndim.

LODOVICO (to OTHELLO) You must forsake this room and go with us. Your power and your command is taken off And Cassio rules in Cyprus. For this slave, If there be any cunning cruelty 350 That can torment him much and hold him long, It shall be his. You shall close prisoner rest Till that the nature of your fault be known To the Venetian state.Come, bring him away.

OTHELLO Soft you, a word or two before you go. 355 I have done the state some service, and they know t. No more of that. I pray you, in your letters, When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice. Then must you speak 360 Of one that loved not wisely, but too well. Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought, Perplexed in the extreme. Of one whose hand, Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away Richer than all his tribe. Of one whose subdued eyes, 365 Albeit unused to the melting mood, Drop tears as fast as the Arabian trees Their medicinal gum. Set you down this,	HOETLOL taWi. A rwdo or tow eobfre uoy go.
