43TVsh, neuer tell me, I take it much vnkindly

54That you Iago, who has had my purse,

65As if the strings were thine, should'st know of this.

76Iag. S'blood, but you will not heare me,

7If euer I did dreame of such a matter, abhorre me.

98Rod. Thou toldst me, thou didst hold him in thy hate.

119Iag. Despise me if I doe not: three great ones of the Citty

1310In personall suite to make me his Leiutenant,

1411Oft capt to him, and by the faith of man,

1512I know my price, I am worth no worse a place.

1613But he, as louing his owne pride and purposes,

1714Euades them, with a bumbast circumstance,

1815Horribly stuft with Epithites of warre:

18.116And in conclusion,

1917Non-suits my mediators: for certes, sayes he,

2018I haue already chosen my officer, and what was he?

2119Forsooth, a great Arithmetition,

2220One Michael Cassio, a Florentine,

2321A fellow almost dambd in a faire wife,

2422That neuer set a squadron in the field,

2523Nor the deuision of a Battell knowes,

2624More then a Spinster, vnlesse the bookish Theorique,

2725Wherein the toged Consuls can propose

2826As masterly as he: meere prattle without practise,

2927Is all his souldier-shippe: but he sir had the election,

3028And I, of whom his eyes had seene the proofe,

3129At Rhodes, at Cipres, and on other grounds,

3230Christian and Heathen, must be led, and calm'd,

3331By Debitor and Creditor, this Counter-caster:

3432: He in good time, must his Leiutenant be,

3533And I, God blesle the marke, his Worships Ancient.

3634Rod. By heauen I rather would haue bin his hangman.

3735Ia. But there's no remedy,

3836Tis the curse of seruice,

3937Preferment goes by letter and affection,

4038Not by the olde gradation, where each second

4139Stood heire to the first:

40Now sir be iudge your selfe,

4241Whether I, in any iust tearme am assign'd

4342to loue the Moore.

4443Rod. I would not follow him then.

4544Ia. O sir, content you.

4645I follow him to serue my turne vpon him,

4746We cannot be all masters, nor all masters

4847Cannot be truely followed, you shall marke .

4948Many a dutious and knee-crooking knaue,

5049That doting on his owne obsequious bondage,

5150Weares out his time much like his masters Asse,

5251For noughe but prouender, and when hee's old cashierd,

5352Whip mee such honest knaues:

5453Others there are, who trimd in formes,

54And vissages of duty, keepe yet their hearts,

5555Attending on themselues, and throwing

5656But shewes of seruice on their Lords,

5757Doe well thriue by 'em,

5858And when they haue lin'd their coates,

5959Doe themselues homage,

6060Those fellowes haue some soule,

6161And such a one doe I professe my selfe, ---- for sir,

6262It is as sure as you are Roderigo,

6363Were I the Moore, I would not be Iago:

6464In following him, I follow but my selfe.

6565Heauen is my iudge, not I,

66For loue and duty, but seeming so,

6667For my peculiar end.

6768For when my outward action does demonstrate

6869The natiue act, and figure of my heart,

6970In complement externe, tis not long after,

7071But I will weare my heart vpon my sleeue,

7172For Doues to pecke at,

73I am not what I am.

7274Rod. What a full fortune does the thicklips owe,

7375If he can carry'et thus?

7476Ia. Call vp her father,

7577Rowse him, make after him, poyson his delight,

7678Proclaime him in the streete, incense her Kinsmen,

7779And tho he in a fertile climate dwell,

7880Plague him with flyes: tho that his ioy be ioy,

7981Yet throw such changes of vexation out,

8082As it may loose some colour.

8183Rod Here is her fathers house, Ile call aloud.

8284Ia. Doe with like timerous accent, and dire yell,

8385As when by night and negligence, the fire

8486Is spied in populous Citties.

8587Rod. What ho, Brabantio; Seignior Brabantio, ho,

8688Ia. Awake, what ho, Brabantio,

89Theeues, theeues, theeues:

8790Looke to your house, you Daughter, and your bags.

8891Theeues, theeues.

93Brab. What is the reason of this terrible summons?

9094What is the matter there?

9195Rod. Seignior, is all your family within?

9296Ia. Are all doore lockts?

9397Brab. Why, wherefore aske you this?

9498Iag. Zounds sir you are robd, for shame put on your gowne,

9599Your heart is burst, you haue lost halfe your soule;

96100Euen now, very now, an old blacke Ram

97101Is tupping your white Ewe; arise, arise,

98102Awake the snorting Citizens with the Bell,

99103Or else the Diuell will make a Grandsire of you, arise I say.

101104Brab. What, haue you lost your wits?

102105Rod. Most reuerend Seignior, doe you know my voyce?

103106Bra. Not I, what are you?

104107Rod. My name is Roderigo.

105108Bra. The worse welcome,

106109I haue charg'd thee, not to haunt about my dores,

107110In honest plainenesse, thou hast heard me say

108111My daughter is not for thee, and now in madnes,

109112Being full of supper, and distempering draughts,

110113Vpon malicious brauery, dost thou come

111114To start my quiet?

112115Rod. Sir, sir, sir.

113116Bra. But thou must needes be sure

114117My spirit and my place haue them in power,

115118To make this bitter to thee.

116119Rod. Patience good sir.

117120Bra. What, tell'st thou me of robbing? this is Venice,

118121My house is not a graunge.

119122Rod. Most graue Brabantio,

120123In simple and pure soule I come to you.

121124Iag. Zouns Sir, you are one of those, that will not serue God, if

122125the Deuill bid you. Because we come to doe you seruice, you thinke

123126we are Ruffians, youle haue your daughter couered with a Barbary

124127horse; youle haue your Nephewes ney to you; youle haue Coursers

125128for Cousens, and Iennits for Iermans.

127129Bra. What prophane wretch art thou?

128130Iag. I am one sir, that come to tell you, your daughter, and the

129131Moore, are now making the Beast with two backs.

130132Bra. Thou art a villaine .

131133Iag. You are a Senator.

132134Bra. This thou shalt answer, I know thee Roderigo.

133135Rod. Sir, I will answer any thing: But I beseech you,

151136If she be in her chamber, or your house,

152137Let loose on me the Iustice of the state,

153138For this delusion.

154139Bra. Strike on the tinder, Ho:

155140Giue me a taper, call vp all my people:

156141This accident is not vnlike my dreame,

157142Beleefe of it oppresses me already:

158143Light I say, light.

159144Iag. Farewell, for I must leaue you,

160145It seemes not meete, nor wholesome to my pate,

161146To be produc'd, as if I stay I shall

162147Against the Moore, for I doe know the state,

163148How euer this may gaule him with some checke,

164149Cannot with safety cast him, for hee's imbark'd,

165150With such loud reason, to the Cipres warres,

166151Which euen now stands in act, that for their soules,

167152Another of his fathome, they haue not

168153To leade their businesse, in which regard,

169154Tho I doe hate him, as I doe hells paines,

170155Yet for necessity of present life,

171156I must shew out a flag, and signe of loue,

172157Which is indeed but signe, that you shall surely

158Finde him: lead to the Sagittar, the raised search,

174159And there will I be with him. So farewell.

176163Bra. It is too true an euill, gone she is,

177164And what's to come, of my despised time,

178165Is nought but bitternesse now Roderigo,

179166Where didst thou see her; O vnhappy girle,

180167With the Moore saist thou? who would be a father?

181168How didst thou know twas she? O thou deceiuest me

182169Past thought: what said she to you? get more tapers,

183170Raise all my kindred, are they married thinke you?

184171Rod. Truely I thinke they are.

185172Bra. O heauen, how got she out? O treason of the blood;

187173Fathers from hence, trust not your Daughters mindes,

188174By what you see them act, is there not charmes,

189175By which the property of youth and manhood

190176May be abus'd? haue you not read Roderigo,

191177Of some such thing.

192178Rod. I haue sir.

193179Bra. Call vp my brother: O that you had had her,

194180Some one way, some another; doe yon know

195181Where we may apprehend her, and the Moore?

196182Rod. I thinke I can discouer him, if you please

197183To get good guard, and goe along with me.

198184Bra. Pray leade me on, at euery house Ile call,

199185I may command at most: get weapons ho,

200186And raise some speciall Officers of night:

201187On good Roderigo, Ile deserue your paynes. Exeunt.
