Desdemona hither.
Exit two or three. 465427Oth. Ancient condu
ct them, you be
st know the place:
467428And till
she come, as faithfull as to heauen,
469429So iu
stly to your graue eares I'le pre
sent,
470430How I did thriue in this faire Ladyes loue,
473433Oth. Her Father loued me, oft inuited me,
474434Still que
stioned me the
story of my life,
475435From yeare to yeare; the battailes,
seiges, fortunes
477437I ran it through, euen from my boyi
sh dayes,
478438Toth' very moment that he bade me tell it.
479439Wherein I
spake of mo
st di
sa
strous chances,
480440Of moouing accident of
flood and
field;
481441Of heire-breadth
scapes ith imminent deadly breach;
482442Of being taken by the in
solent foe
: 483443And
sold to
slauery, and my redemption thence,
484444And with it all my trauells Hi
storie;

speake,
such was the proce

488448And of the
Cannibals, that each other eate;
489449The
Anthropophagie, and men who
se heads
490450Doe grow beneath their
shoulders: this to heare,
491451Would
Desdemona seriou
sly incline;
492452But
still the hou

ffaires would draw her thence,
493453And euer as
she could with ha

494454Shee'd come againe, and with a greedy eare
495455Deuoure vp my di

496456Tooke once a plyant houre, and found good meanes
497457To draw from her a prayer of earne
st heart,
498458That I would all my pilgrimage dilate,
499459Whereof by parcell
she had
something heard,
500460But not intentiuely, I did con

501461And ofren did beguile her of her teares,
