The Moore of Venice.
 
 16411514If I haue any grace or power to moue you,
 16421515His present reconsiliation take:
 16431516For if he be not one that truely loues you,
 16441517That erres in ignorance, and not in cunning,
 16451518I haue no iudgement in an honest face,
 16461519I preethee call him backe.
 16471520Oth. Went he hence now?
 16481521Desd. Yes faith, so humbled,
 16491522That he has left part of his griefes with me,
 16501523I suffer with him; good loue call him backe.
 16511524Oth. Not now sweete Desdemona some other time.
 16521525Desd. But shal't be shortly?
 16531526Oth. The sooner sweete for you.
 16541527Desd. Shal't be to night at supper?
 16551528Oth. No, not to night.
 16561529Desd. To morrow dinner then?
 16571530Oth. I shall not dine at home,
 16581531I meete the Captaines, at the Cittadell.
 16591532Desd. Why then to morrow night, or Tuesday morne,
 16601533On Tuesday morne, or night, or Wensday morne,
 16611534I preethee name the time, but let it not
 16621535Exceed three dayes: Ifaith hee's penitent,
 16631536And yet his trespasse, in our common reason,
 16641537(Saue that they say, the warres must make examples,
 16651538Out of her best) is not almost a fault,
 16661539To incurre a priuate checke: when shall he come?
 16671540Tell me Othello: I wonder in my soule,
 16681541What you could aske me, that I should deny?
 16691542Or stand so muttering on? What Michael Cassio?
 16701543That came a wooing with you, and so many a time
 16711544When I haue spoke of you dispraisingly,
 16721545Hath tane your part, to haue so much to doe
 16731546To bring him in? Birlady I could doe much.
 16741547Oth. Preethee no more, let him come when he will,
 16751548I will deny thee nothing.
 16761549Desd. Why this is not a boone,
 16771550Tis as I should intreate you weare your gloues:
