95Your heart is burst, you haue lost halfe your soule

96Euen now, now, very now, an old blacke Ram

97Is tupping your white Ewe. Arise, arise,

98Awake the snorting Cittizens with the Bell,

99Or else the deuill will make a Grand-sire of you.

100Arise I say.

101Bra. What, haue you lost your wits?

102Rod. Most reuerend Signior, do you know my voice?

103Bra. Not I: what are you?

104Rod. My name is Rodorigo.

105Bra. The worsser welcome:

106I haue charg'd thee not to haunt about my doores:

107In honest plainenesse thou hast heard me say,

108My Daughter is not for thee. And now in madnesse

109(Being full of Supper, and distempring draughtes)

110Vpon malitious knauerie, dost thou come

111To start my quiet.

112Rod. Sir, Sir, Sir.

113Bra. But thou must needs be sure,

114My spirits and my place haue in their power

115To make this bitter to thee.

116Rodo. Patience good Sir.

117Bra. What tell'st thou me of Robbing?

118This is Venice : my house is not a Grange.

119Rodo. Most graue Brabantio,

120In simple and pure soule, I come to you.

121Ia. Sir: you are one of those that will not serue God,

122if the deuill bid you. Because we come to do you seruice,

123and you thinke we are Ruffians, you'le haue your Daugh-

124ter couer'd with a Barbary horse, you'le haue your Ne-

125phewes neigh to you, you'le haue Coursers for Cozens :

126and Gennets for Germaines.

127Bra. What prophane wretch art thou?

128Ia. I am one Sir, that comes to tell you, your Daugh-

129ter and the Moore, are making the Beast with two backs.

130Bra. Thou art a Villaine.

131Iago. You are a Senator.

132Bra. This thou shalt answere. I know thee Rodorigo.

133Rod. Sir, I will answere any thing. But I beseech you

134If't be your pleasure, and most wise consent,

135(As partly I find it is) that your faire Daughter,

136At this odde Euen and dull watch o'th'night

137Transported with no worse nor better guard,

138But with a knaue of common hire, a Gundelier,

139To the grosse claspes of a Lasciuious Moore:

140If this be knowne to you, and your Allowance,

141We then haue done you bold, and saucie wrongs.

142But if you know not this, my Manners tell me,

143We haue your wrong rebuke. Do not beleeue

144That from the sence of all Ciuilitie,

145I thus would play and trifle with your Reuerence.

146Your Daughter (if you haue not giuen her leaue)

147I say againe, hath made a grosse reuolt,

148Tying her Dutie, Beautie, Wit, and Fortunes

149In an extrauagant, and wheeling Stranger,

150Of here, and euery where: straight satisfie your selfe.

151If she be in her Chamber, or your house,

152Let loose on me the Iustice of the State

153For thus deluding you.

154Bra. Strike on the Tinder, hoa:

155Giue me a Taper: call vp all my people,

156This Accident is not vnlike my dreame,

157Beleefe of it oppresses me alreadie.

158Light, I say, light. Exit.

159Iag. Farewell: for I must leaue you.

160It seemes not meete, nor wholesome to my place

161To be producted, (as if I stay, I shall,)

162Against the Moore. For I do know the State,

163(How euer this may gall him with some checke)

164Cannot with safetie cast-him. For he's embark'd

165With such loud reason to the Cyprus Warres,

166(Which euen now stands in Act) that for their soules

167Another of his Fadome, they haue none,

168To lead their Businesse. In which regard,

169Though I do hate him as I do hell apines,

170Yet, for necessitie of present life,

171I must show out a Flag, and signe of Loue,

172(Which is indeed but signe) that you shal surely find him

173Lead to the Sagitary the raised Search:

174And there will I be with him. So farewell. Exit.

176Bra. It is too true an euill. Gone she is,

177And what's to come of my despised time,

178Is naught but bitternesse. Now Rodorigo,

179Where didst thou see her? (Oh vnhappie Girle)

180With the Moore saist thou? (Who would be a Father?)

181How didst thou know 'twas she? (Oh she deceaues me

182Past thought:) what said she to you? Get moe Tapers:

183Raise all my Kindred. Are they married thinke you?

184Rodo. Truely I thinke they are.

185Bra. Oh Heauen: how got she out?

186Oh treason of the blood.

187Fathers, from hence trust not your Daughters minds

188By what you see them act. Is there not Charmes,

189By which the propertie of Youth, and Maidhood

190May be abus'd? Haue you not read Rodorigo,

191Of some such thing?

192Rod. Yes Sir: I haue indeed.

193Bra. Call vp my Brother: oh would you had had her.

194Some one way, some another. Doe you know

195Where we may apprehend her, and the Moore?

196Rod. I thinke I can discouer him, if you please

197To get good Guard, and go along with me.

198Bra. Pray you lead on. At euery house Ile call,

199(I may command at most) get Weapons (hoa)

200And raise some speciall Officers of might:

201On good Rodorigo, I will deserue your paines. Exeunt.

204Ia. Though in the trade of Warre I haue slaine men,

205Yet do I hold it very stuffe o'th'conscience

206To do no contriu'd Murder: I lacke Iniquitie

207Sometime to do me seruice. Nine, or ten times

208I had thought t'haue yerk'd him here vnder the Ribbes.

209Othello. 'Tis better as it is.

210Iago. Nay but he prated,

211And spoke such scuruy, and prouoking termes

212Against your Honor, that with the little godlinesse I haue

213I did full hard forbeare him. But I pray you Sir,

214Are you fast married? Be assur'd of this,

215That the Magnifico is much belou'd,

216And hath in his effect a voice potentiall

217As double as the Dukes: He will diuorce you.

218Or put vpon you, what restraint or greeuance,
