In an extravagant and wheeling stranger Of here and everywhere。 Straight
satisfy yourself: If she be in her chamber or your house; Let loose on me
the justice of the state For thus deluding you。 BRABANTIO。 Strike on the
tinder; ho! Give me a taper! Call up all my people! This accident is not
unlike my dream; Belief of it oppresses me already。 Light; I say; light! Exit
above。 IAGO。 Farewell; for I must leave you。 It seems not meet; nor
wholesome to my place; To be producedas; if I stay; I shall Against the
Moor; for I do know; the state; However this may gall him with some
check; Cannot with safety cast him; for he's embark'd With such loud
reason to the Cyprus wars; Which even now stands in act; that; for their
souls; Another of his fathom they have none To lead their business; in

which regard; Though I do hate him as I do hell pains; Yet for necessity of
present life; I must show out a flag and sign of love; Which is indeed but
sign。 That you shall surely find him; Lead to the Sagittary the raised
search; And there will I be with him。 So farewell。 Exit。
Enter; below; Brabantio; in his nightgown; and Servants with torches。
BRABANTIO。 It is too true an evil: gone she is; And what's to come
of my despised time Is nought but bitterness。 Now; Roderigo; Where didst
thou see her? O unhappy girl! With the Moor; say'st thou? Who would be a
father! How didst thou know 'twas she? O; she deceives me Past thought!
What said she to you? Get more tapers。 Raise all my kindred。 Are they
married; think you? RODERIGO。 Truly; I think they are。 BRABANTIO。
O heaven! How got she out? O treason of the blood! Fathers; from hence
trust not your daughters' minds By what you see them act。 Is there not
charms By which the property of youth and maidhood May be abused?
Have you not read; Roderigo; Of some such thing? RODERIGO。 Yes; sir; I
have indeed。 BRABANTIO。 Call up my brother。 O; would you had had
her! Some one way; some another。 Do you know Where we may
apprehend her and the Moor? RODERIGO。 I think I can discover him; if
you please To get good guard and go along with me。 BRABANTIO。 Pray
you; lead on。 At every house I'll call; I may command at most。 Get
weapons; ho! And raise some special officers of night。 On; good Roderigo;
I'll deserve your pains。 Exeunt。

SCENE II。 Another street。
Enter Othello; Iago; and Attendants with torches。
IAGO。 Though in the trade of war I have slain men; Yet do I hold it
very stuff o' the conscience To do no contrived murther。 I lack iniquity
Sometimes to do me service。 Nine or ten times I had thought to have
yerk'd him here under the ribs。 OTHELLO。 'Tis better as it is。 IAGO。 Nay;
but he prated And spoke such scurvy and provoking terms Against your
honor That; with the little godliness I have; I did full hard forbear him。 But
I pray you; sir; Are you fast married? Be assured of this; That the
magnifico is much beloved; And hath in his effect a voice potential As
double as the Duke's。 He will divorce you; Or put upon you what restraint
and grievance The law; with all his might to enforce it on; Will give him
cable。 OTHELLO。 Let him do his spite。 My services; which I have done
the signiory; Shall outtongue his complaints。 'Tis yet to know Which;
when I know that boasting is an honor; I shall promulgateI fetch my life
and being From men of royal siege; and my demerits May speak
unbonneted to as proud a fortune As this that I have reach'd。 For know;
Iago; But that I love the gentle Desdemona; I would not my unhoused free
condition Put into circumscription and confine For the sea's worth。 But;
look! What lights come yond? IAGO。 Those are the raised father and his
friends。 You were best go in。 OTHELLO。 Not I; I must be found。 My parts;
my title; and my perfect soul Shall manifest me rightly。 Is it they? IAGO。
By Janus; I think no。 Enter Cassio and certain Officers with torches。
OTHELLO。 The servants of the Duke? And my lieutenant? The
goodness of the night upon you; friends! What is the news? CASSIO。 The
Duke does greet you; general; And he requires your hasteposthaste
appearance; Even on the instant。 OTHELLO。 What is the matter; think you?
CASSIO。 Something from Cyprus; as I may divine; It is a business of
some heat。 The galleys Have sent a dozen sequent messengers This very
night at one another's heels; And many of the consuls; raised and met; Are
at the Duke's already。 You have been hotly call'd for; When; being not at
your lodging to be found; The Senate hath sent about three several quests
To search you out。 OTHELLO。 'Tis well I am found by you。 I will but

spend a word here in the house And go with you。 Exit。 CASSIO。 Ancient;
what makes he here? IAGO。 Faith; he tonight hath boarded a land carack;
If it prove lawful prize; he's made forever。 CASSIO。 I do not understand。
IAGO。 He's married。 CASSIO。 To who?
Re…enter Othello。
IAGO。 Marry; toCome; captain; will you go? OTHELLO。 Have
with you。 CASSIO。 Here comes another troop to seek for you。 IAGO。 It is
Brabantio。 General; be advised; He comes to bad intent。
Enter Brabantio; Roderigo; and Officers with torches and weapons。
OTHELLO。 Holla! Stand there! RODERIGO。 Signior; it is the Moor。
BRABANTIO。 Down with him; thief! They draw on both sides。 IAGO。
You; Roderigo! Come; sir; I am for you。 OTHELLO。 Keep up your bright
swords; for the dew will rust them。 Good signior; you shall more
command with years Than with your weapons。 BRABANTIO。 O thou foul
thief; where hast thou stow'd my daughter? Damn'd as thou art; thou hast
enchanted her; For I'll refer me to all things of sense; If she in chains of
magic were not bound; Whether a maid so tender; fair; and happy; So
opposite to marriage that she shunn'd The wealthy; curled darlings of our
nation; Would ever have; to incur a general mock; Run from her guardage
to the sooty bosom Of such a thing as thouto fear; not to delight。 Judge
me the world; if 'tis not gross in sense That thou hast practiced on her with
foul charms; Abused her delicate youth with drugs or minerals That
weaken motion。 I'll have't disputed on; 'Tis probable; and palpable to
thinking。 I therefore apprehend and do attach thee For an abuser of the
world; a practicer Of arts inhibited and out of warrant。 Lay hold upon him。
If he do resist; Subdue him at his peril。 OTHELLO。 Hold your hands; Both
you of my inclining and the rest。 Were it my cue to fight; I should have
known it Without a prompter。 Where will you that I go To answer this your
charge? BRABANTIO。 To prison; till fit time Of law and course of direct
session Call thee to answer。 OTHELLO。 What if I do obey? How may the
Duke be therewith satisfied; Whose messengers are here about my side;
Upon some present business of the state To bring me to him? FIRST
OFFICER。 'Tis true; most worthy signior; The Duke's in council; and your
noble self; I am sure; is sent for。 BRABANTIO。 How? The Duke in
12

council? In this time of the night? Bring him away; Mine's not an idle
cause。 The Duke himself; Or any of my brothers of the state; Cannot but
feel this wrong as 'twere their own; For if such actions may have passage
free; Bond slaves and pagans shall our statesmen be。 Exeunt。
