I am one, sir, that comes to tell you, your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs. Bra. Thou art a villain. Iago. You are a senator. Bra. This thou shalt answer: I know thee, Roderigo. Rod. Sir, I will answer any thing. But I beseech you, If't be your pleasure, and most wise consent, I thus would play and trifle with your reverence: Tying her duty, beauty, wit, and fortunes, Let loose on me the justice of the state Bra. Strike on the tinder, ho! 7 A waterman. 5 Relations. 6 Midnight. 8 Approbation. 9 Wandering. Give me a taper;-call up all my people:- [Exit, from above. Against the Moor: For, I do know, the state,- To lead their business: in which regard, I must show out a flag and sign of love, Lead to the sagittary the rais'd search; And there will I be with him. So, farewell. [Exit. Enter, below, BRABANTIO, and Servants with Bra. It is too true an evil: gone she is; father? How didst thou know 'twas she? O, thou de Past thought!-What said she to you?-Get more tapers; Raise all my kindred.-Are they married think you? Rod. Truly, I think, they are. Bra. O heaven! -How got she out! -O treason of the blood! Fathers, from hence trust not your daughters' minds Rod. Yes, sir; I have indeed. Bra. Call up my brother.-O, that you had had her! Some one way, some another.-Do you know Where we may apprehend her and the Moor? Rod. I think, I can discover him; if you please To get good guard, and go along with me. Bra. Pray you, lead on.

Enter OTHELLO, IAGO, and Attendants. Iago. Though in the trade of war I have slain men, Yet do I hold it very stuff o'the conscience, I had thought to have yerk'd him here under the ribs. Oth. 'Tis better as it is. Iago. Nay, but he prated, And spoke such scurvy and provoking terms Against your honour, That, with the little godliness I have, I did full hard forbear him. But, I pray, sir, Let him do his spite: Oth. I would not my unhoused 7 free condition For the sea's worth.

Enter CASSIO, at a distance, and certain Officers with Torches. Iago. These are the raised father, and his friends: You were best go in.. Oth.

The servants of the duke, and nant. my lieute The goodness of the night upon you, friends! Cas. The duke does greet you, general; And he requires your haste-post-haste appearance, Even on the instant. Oth. What is the matter, think you? Cas. Something from Cyprus, as I may divine; It is a business of some heat: the gallies Have sent a dozen sequents messengers This very night at one another's heels; And many of the consuls, rais'd, and met, Are at the duke's already: You have been hotly call'd for; When, being not at your lodging to be found, Oth. 'Tis well I am found by you. Cas. [Exit. Ancient, what makes he here? Iago. 'Faith, he to-night hath boarded a land carack'; • Following. lawful prize, he's made for ever. |
