It is Othello's pleasure, our noble and 1099valiant general, that upon certain tidings now arrived 1100importing the mere perdition of the Turkish fleet, 1101every man put himself into triumph: some to dance, 1102some to make bonfires, each man to what sport and 1103revels his addition leads him. For besides these 1104beneficial news, it is the celebration of his nuptial. So 1105much was his pleasure should be proclaimed. All 1106offices are open and there is full liberty of feasting from this 1107present hour of five till the bell have tolled eleven. 1108Heaven bless the isle of Cyprus and our noble general 1109Othello.
