So hangs, and lolls, and weeps upon me: So shakes, and pulls me. Ha', ha', ha'. Now he tells how she plucked him to my Chamber: oh, I see that nose of yours, but not that dog, I shall throw it to. Well, I must leave her company. Before me: look where she comes. 'Tis such another Fitchow: marry a perfumed one? What do you mean by this haunting of me? Let the devil, and his dam haunt you: what did you mean by that same Handkerchief, you gave me even now? I was a fine Fool to take it: I must take out the work? A likely piece of work, that you should find it in your Chamber, and know not who left it there. This is some Minxes token, & I must take out the work? There, give it your Hobbey-horse, wheresoever you had it, I'll take out no work on't. How now, my sweet Bianca? How now? How now? By Heaven, that should be my Handkerchief. If you'll come to supper to night you may, if you will not, come when you are next prepared for. After her: after her. I must, she'll rail in the streets else. Will you sup there? Yes, I intent so. Well, I may chance to see you: for I would very fame speak with you. Prithee come: will you? Go too: say no more. How shall I murder him, Iago. Did you perceive how he laughed at his vice? Oh, Iago. And did you see the Handkerchief? Was that mine? Yours by this hand: and to see how he prizes the foolish woman your wife: she gave it him, and he hath given it his whore. I would have him nine years a killing: A fine woman, a fair woman, a sweet woman? Nay, you must forget that. I, let her rot and perish, and be damned to night, for she shall not live. No, my heart is turned to stone: I strike it, and it hurts my hand. Oh, the world hath not a sweeter Creature: she might lie by an Emperor's side, and command him Tasks. Nay, that's not your way. Hang her, I do but say what she is: so delicate with her Needle: an admirable Musician. Oh she will sing the Savageness out of a Bear: of so high and plenteous wit, and invention? She's the worse for all this. Oh, a thousand, a thousand times: And then of so gentle a condition? I too gentle. Nay that's certain: But yet the pity of it, Iago: oh Iago, the pity of it Iago. If you are so fond over her iniquity: give her patent to offend, for if it touch not you, it comes near no body. I will chop her into Messes: Cuckold me? Oh, 'tis foul in her. With mine Officer? That's fouler.
