Thou told'st me thou
didst hold him in thy hate.
Despise me, if I do not.
Three great ones of the city in personal
suit to make me his lieutenant...
...off-capped to him.
And by the faith of man, I know my
price. I am worth no worse a place.
But he evades them...
...and non-suits my mediators.
"For certes," says he, "I
have already chose my officer."
And what was he? Forsooth,
a great arithmetician.
One Michael Cassio, a Florentine.
a squadron in the field...
...nor the division of a battle
knows more than a spinster.
He, in good time, must his lieutenant be...
...and I, God bless the
mark, his Moorship's ancient.
Now, sir, be judge yourself
whether I in any just term...
...am affined to love the Moor.
O, sir, content you.
I follow him to serve my turn upon him.
Heaven is my judge, not
I for love and duty...
...but seeming so for my peculiar end.
For when my outward
action doth demonstrate...
...the native act and figure of
my heart in compliment extern...
...'tis not long after but I will wear my
heart upon my sleeve for daws to peck at.
I am not what I am.
What a full fortune doth the
thick-lips owe if he can carry't thus.
Call up her father.
Rouse him, make after
him, poison his delight.
Proclaim him in the street,
incense her kinsmen...
...and though he in a fertile
climate dwell, plague him with flies.
RoDERIGo Here is her
father's house. I'll call aloud.
Do, with like timorous
accent and dire yell...
...as when by night and negligence
the fire is spied in populous cities.
RoDERIGo What, ho, Brabantio!
- Signor Brabantio, ho! IAGo: Ho!
Thieves! Thieves! Look to your house,
your daughter and your bags. Thieves!
What is the meaning of this terrible
summons? What is the matter there, huh?
Signor,
is all your family within?
IAGo:
Are your doors locked?BRABANTlo:
Why, wherefore ask you this?IAGo:
Zounds, sir, you are robbed.For shame, put on your gown.
Your heart is burst, you
have lost half your soul.
Even now, now, very now...
...an old black ram is
tupping your white ewe.
Arise. Awake the snorting
citizens with the bell...
...or else that devil will
make a grandsire of you.
- Arise, I say.
- What, have you lost your wits?
Most reverend signor, do you know my voice?
BRABANTlo:
Not I, what are you?- My name is Roderigo.
- The worse welcome. RoDERIGo: Sir.
I have told thee not to haunt about my doors.
In honest plainness thou hast heard me say...
...my daughter is not for thee.
- Patience, good sir.
Zounds, sir, you are one of those that
will not serve God if the devil bid you.
Because we come to do you
service, you think we are ruffians.
You'll have your daughter
covered with a Barbary horse.
You'll have your nephews neigh to you.
I am one, sir, that come to tell you...
...that your daughter and the Moor
are now making a beast with two backs.
- Thou art a villain.
- You're a senator.
BRABANTlo:
This thou shaltanswer. I know thee, Roderigo.
Sir, I will answer anything.
But I beseech you, if't be your pleasure...
...and most wise consent,
as partly I find it is...
...that your fair daughter at this
odd-even and dull watch o'th'night...
...transported with no
worse nor better guard...
...but with a knave of
common hire, a gondolier...
...to the gross clasps of a lascivious Moor.
If this be known to you and your allowance...
...we then have done you
bold and saucy wrongs.
But if you know not this...
...my manners tell me we
have your wrong rebuke.
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.
Strike on the tinder, give me
a taper, call up all my people.
- Light, I say. Light.
- Farewell, for I must leave you.
It seems not meet nor wholesome
to my place to be produced...
As 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 embarked with such
loud reason to the Cyprus wars.
That for their souls, another of his
fathom they have not to lead their business.
hate him as I do hell's 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.
There will I be with him. So farewell.
It is too true an evil. Gone she is.
And what's to come of my despised
time is naught but bitterness.
- Are they married, think you?
- Truly, I think they are.
Go call my brother.
O, that you would had her.
Some one way, some another.
You know where we may
apprehend her and the Moor?
I think I can discover them...
...if you please to get good
guard and go along with me.
Well, I pray you lead on.
I may command at most. Get weapons, ho.
And raise some special officers of the night.
On, good Roderigo. I'll deserve your pains.
Though in the trade of
war I have slain men...
...yet I hold it very stuff
o'th'conscience to do no contrived murder.
I lack iniquity sometimes to do me service.
Nine or 1 o times I had thought
t'have yerk'd him here under the ribs.
- 'Tis better as it is.
- Nay, but he prated...
