O no, he goes into Mauritania, and takes away with him The fair Desdemona, unless his abode be lingered Here by some accident, wherein none can be so determinate, as the removing of Cassio. How do you mean removing of him? Why, by making him uncapable of Othello's place, Knocking out his brains. And that you would have me to do. I, and if you dare do yourself a profit, and right, he sups to night with a harlot, and thither will I go to him;— he knows not yet of his honourable fortune: if you will watch his going thence, which I will fashion to fall out between twelve and one, you may take him at your pleasure: I will be near to second your attempt, and he shall fall between us: come, stand not amazed at it, but go along with me, I will show you such a necessity in his death, that you shall think yourself bound to put it on him. It is now high supper time, and the night grows to waste: about it. I will hear further reason for this. And you shall be satisfied. I do beseech you sir, trouble yourself no further. O pardon me, it shall do me good to walk. Madame, good night, I humbly thank your Ladyship. Your honour is most welcome. Will you walk sir:— O Desdemona. My Lord. Get you to bed, o'the instant I will be returned, forthwith, dispatch your Attendant there,— look it be done. I will my Lord. How goes it now? he looks gentler than he did. He says he will return incontinent: He hath commanded me to go to bed, And bade me to dismiss you. Dismiss me? It was his bidding, therefore good Emillia, Give me my nightly wearing, and adive, We must not now displease him. I would you had never seen him. So would not I, my love doth so approve him, That even his stubbornness, his checks and frowns. Prithee unpin me; have grace and favour in them. I have laid these sheets you bade me, on the bed. All's one good faith: how foolish are our minds? If I do die before thee, prithee shroud me In one of those same sheets. Come, come, you talk. My mother had a maid called Barbary, She was in love, and he she loved, proved mad, And did forsake her, she has a song of willow, An old thing 'twas, but it expressed her fortune, And she died singing it, that Song to night, Will not go from my mind— hark, who's that knocks? It is the wind. Now get thee gone, good night: Mine eyes do itch, does that bode weeping? 'tis neither here nor there. Wouldst thou do such a deed, for all the world? Why would not you. No, by this heavenly light. Nor I neither, by this heavenly light, I might do it as well in the dark. Would thou do such a thing for all the world?

O no, he goes into Mauritania, and takes away with him The faire Desdemona, vnlsse his abode be linger'd Here by some accident, wherein none can be so determinate, as the remouing of Cassio. How doe you meane remouing of him? Why, by making him vncapable of Othello's place, Knocking out his braines. And that you would haue me to doe. I, and if you dare doe your selfe a profit, and right, hee sups to night with a harlot, and thither will I goe to him;—he knowes not yet of his honourable fortune: if you will watch his going thence, which I will fashion to fall out betweene twelue and one, you may take him at your pleasure: I will be neere to second your attempt, and hee shall fall betweene vs: come, stand not amaz'd at it, but goe along with mee, I will shew you such a necessity in his death, that you shall thinke your selfe bound to put it on him. It is now high supper time, and the night growes to wast: about it. I will heare further reason for this. And you shall be satisfied. I do beseech you sir, trouble your selfe no further. O pardon me, it shall doe me good to walke. Madame, good night, I humbly thanke your Ladiship. Your honour is most welcome. Will you walke sir:—O Desdemona. My Lord. Get you to bed, o'the instant I will be return'd, forthwith, dispatch your Attendant there,—looke it be done. I will my Lord. How goes it now? he lookes gener then he did. He aies he will returne incontinent: He hath commanded me to goe to bed, And bad me to dismisse you. Dismisse me? It was his bidding, therefore good Emillia, Giue me my nightly wearing, and adiue, We must not now displease him. I would you had neuer seene him. So would not I, my loue doth so approue him, That euen his stubbornenese, his checks and frownes. Prethee vnpin me; haue grace and fauour in them. I haue laied these sheetes you ade me, on the bed. All's one good faith: how foolish are our minds? If I doe die before thee, prethee shrowd me In one of those same shees. Come, come, you talke. My mother had a maid cald Barbary, She was in loue, and he she lou'd, prou'd mad, And did forsake her, she has a song of willow, An old thing 'twas, but it expret her fortune, And she died singing it, that Song to night, Will not goe from my mind—harke, who's that knocks? It is the wind. Now get thee gone, good night: Mine eyes doe itch, does that bode weeping? Tis neither here nor there. Wouldst thou doe such a deed, for all the world? Why would not you. No, by this heauenly light. Nor I neither, by this heauenly light, I might doe it as well in the darke. Would thou doe such a thing for all the world?
