A Sea-port in Cyprus．An open place near the quay ［Enter MONTANO and two Gentlemnen］ MONTANO What from the capecan you discernat sea？ First Gentleman Nothing at all：it is a highwroughtflood； I cannot，’twixtthe heaven and the main， Descrya sail． MONTANO Methinks the wind hath spoke aloud at land； A fuller blast．ne’ershook our battlements： If it hath ruffian’dso upon the sea， What ribsof oak，when mountains melt on them， Can hold the mortise？What shall we hear of this？ Second Gentleman A segregationof the Turkish fleet： For do but stand upon the foamingshore， The chidden billow seems to pelt the clouds ； The wind－shaked surge，with high and monstrous mane， seems to cast water on the burning bear， And quenchthe guards of the ever-fixed pole： I never did like molestationview On the ehchafedflood MONTANO If that the Turkish fleet Be not enshelter’dand embay’d，they are drown’d： It is impossible they bear it out． ［Enter a third Gentleman］ Third Gentleman News，lads！our wars are done． The desperatetempest hath so bang’d．the Turks， That their designment halts．：a noble ship of Venice Hath seen a grievouswreckand sufferance On most part of their fleet． MONTANO How！is this true？ Third Gentleman The ship is here put in， A Veronesa；Michael Cassio， Lieutenant to the warlikeMoor Othello， Is come on shore：the Moor himself at sea， And is in full commission here for Cyprus． MONTANO I am glad on’t；’tis a worthygovernor． Third Gentleman But this same Cassio，though he speak of comfort Touchingthe Turkish loss，yet he looks sadly， And prays the Moor be safe；for they were parted With foul and violent tempest． MONTANO Pray heavens he be； For I have served him，and the man commands Like a full soldier Let’s to the seaside，ho！ As well to see the vessel that’s come in As to throw out our eyes forbrave Othello， Even till we make the main and the aerialblue An indistinctregard． Third Gentleman Come，let’s do so： For every minute is expectancy Of more arrivance． ［Enter CASSIO］ CASSIO Thanks，you the valiant of this warlike isle， That so approve the Moor！O，let the heavens Give him defence against the elements， For I have lost us him on a dangerous sea． MONTANO Is he well shipp’d？ CASSIO His barkis stoulytimber’d，his pilot Of very expert and approved allowance； Therefore my hope，not surfeitedto death， Stand in boldcure． ［A cry within ‘A sail，a sail，a sail’！Enter a fourthGentleman］ CASSIO What noise？ Fourth Gentleman The town is empty；on the browo’the sea Stand ranks of people，and they cry’A sail！’ CASSIO My hopes do shape him for the governor ［Guns heard］ Second Gentlemen They do discharge their shot of courtesy： Our friends at least． CASSIO I prayyou，sir，go forth， And give us truth who’tis that is arrived． Second Gentleman I shall． ［Exit］ MONTANO But，good lieutenant，is general wived？ CASSIO Most fortunately：he hath achieved a maid That paragons descriptionand wildfame； One that excelsthe quirksof blazoningpens， And in the essentialvestureof creation Does tirethe ingener ［Re-enter second Gentleman］ How now！who has put in Second Gentleman ‘Tis one Iago，ancient to the general CASSIO Has had favourable and happy speed ： Tempests themselves，high seas，and howling winds， The gutter’drocks and congregatedsands—— Traitorsensteep’dto clogthe guiltlesskeel，—— As having sense of beauty，do omit Their mortal natures，letting go safely by The divineDesdemona． MONTANO What is she？ CASSIO She that I spakeof，our great captain’s captain， Left in the conduct of the boldIago， Whose footing here anticipatesour thoughts A se’nnight’sspeed．Great Jove，Othello guard， And swellhis sail with thineown powerful breath， That he may blessthis baywith his tall ship， Make love’s quick pantsin Desdemona’s arms， Give renew’d fire to our extinctedspirits And bring all Cyprus comfort！ ［Enter DESDEMONA，EMILIA，IAGO，RODERIGO，and Attendants］ O，behold， The riches of the ship is come on shore！ Ye men of Cyprus， let her have your knees． Hail to thee，lady！and the grace of heaven， Before，behind thee，and on every hand， Enwheelthee round！ DESDEMONA I thank you，valiantCassio． What tidingscan you tell me of my lord？ CASSIO He is not yet arrived：nor know I aught But that he’s well and will be shortly here． DESDEMONA O，but I fear——How lost you company？ CASSIO The great contention of the sea and skies Partedour fellowship——But，hark！a sail． ［Within’A sail，a sail！’Guns heard］ Second Gentleman They give their greetingto the citadel；This likewiseis a friend CASSIO See fot the news． ［Exit Gentleman］ Good ancient，you are welcome． ［To EMILIA］ Welcome，mistress． Let it not gallyour patience，good Iago， That I extend my manners；’tismy breeding That gives me this boldshow of courtesy． ［Kissing her］ IAGO Sir，would she give you so much of her lips As of her tongue she oftbestowson me， You’ll have enough． DESDEMONA Alas，she has no speech． IAGO In faith，too much； I find it still，when I have listto sleep： Marry，before your ladyship，I grant ， She puts her tongue a little in her heart， And chideswith thinking． EMILIM You have little causeto say so． IAGO Come on，come on；you are pictures out of doors， Bells in your parlors，wild-cats in your kitchens， Saintsm your injuries，devils being offended， Players in your housewifery，and housewives’in your beds． DESDEMONA O，fie upon thee，slanderer！ IAGO Nay，it is true，or else I am a Turk ： You rise to play and go to bed to work． EMILIA You shall not write my praise IAGO No，let me not. DESDEMONA What wouldstthouwrite of me，if thou shouldst prsise me？ IAGO O gentle lady，do not put me to’t； For I am nothing，if not critical． DFSDEMONA Come on assay．There’s one gone to the harbour？ IAGO Ay，madam． DESDEMONA I am not merry；but I do beguile The thing I am，by seeming otherwise． Come，how wouldst thou praise me？ IAGO I am about it；but indeed my invention Comes from my pate as birdlime does from frize; It plucks out brains and all: but my Muse labours, And thus She is deliver’d, The one’s for use, the other useth it. DESDEMONA Well praised!How if she be black and witty? IAGO If she be black, and thereto have a wit, She’ll find a white that shall her blackness fit. DESDEMONA Worse and worse. EMILIA How if fair and foolish？ IAGO She never yet was foolish that was fair； For even her folly help’d her to an heir． DESDEMONA These are old fond paradoxes to make fools laugh i’ the alehouse．What miserable praise hast thou for her that’s foul and foolish？ IAGO There’s none so foul and foolish thereunto， But does foul pranks which fair and wise ones do． DESDEMONA O heavy ignorance！thou praisest the worst best． But what praise couldst thou bestow on a deserving womani ndeed，one that，in the authority of hermerit，did justly put on the vouch of very malice itself？ IAGO She that was ever fair and never proud． Had tongue at will and yet was never loud， Never lack’d gold and yet went never gay ， Fled from her wish and yet said ‘Now I may，’ She that being anger’d， her revengebeing nigh， Bade her wrong stay and her displeasure fly， She that in wisdomnever was so frail To change the cod’s head for the salmon’s tail； She that could think and ne’er disclose her mind， See suitorsfollowing and not look behind， She was a wight，if ever such wight were，—— DESDEMONA To do what？ IAGO To suckle fools and chronicle small beer． DESDEMONA O most lame and impotentconclusion！Do not learn of him，Emilia，though he be thy husband．How say you， Cassio？is he not a most profaneand liberal counsellor？ CASSIO He speaks home，madam：You may relish him more in the soldier than in the scholar． IAGO [Aside] He takes her by the palm：ay，well said， whisper ： with as little a web as this will I ensnare as great a flyas Cassio．Ay，smile upon her，do；I will gyve theein thine own courtship． You say true；’tis so， indeed： if such tricks as these strip you out of your lieutenantry，it had been better you had not kissed your three fingers so oft， which now again you are most apt to play the sir in ．Very good；well kissed！an excellent courtesy！’tis so， indeed．Yet again your fingers to your lips ？would they were clyster－pipes for your sake！ [Trumpet within] The Moor！ I know his trumpet． CASSIO ‘Tis truly so． DESDEMONA Let’s meet him and receivehim． CASSIO Lo， where he comes！ [Enter OTHELLO and Attendants] OTHELLO O my fair warrior！ DESDEMONA My dear Othello！ OTHELLO It gives me wondergreat as my content To see you here before me． O my soul’s joy！ If after every tempest come such calms， May the winds blowtill they have waken’d death！ And let the labouring bark climb hills of seas Olympus-high and duckagain as low As hell’sfrom heaven！If it were now to die， ‘Twerenow to be most happy；for，I fear， My soul hath her content so absolute That not another comfort like to this Succeedsin unknown fate． DESDEMONA The heavens forbid But that our loves and comforts should increase， Even as our days do grow！ OTHELLO Amento that，sweet powers！ I cannot speak enought of this content； It stops me here；it is too much of joy： And this，and this， the greatest discords be [kissing her] That e’er our hearts shall make！ IAGO [Aside] O，you are well tunednow！ But I’ll set down the pegs that make this music， As honest as I am． OTHELLO Come，let us to the castle． News，friends；our wars are done，the Turks are drown’d ． How does my old acquaintanceof this isle？ Honey，you shall be well desired in Cyprus； I have found great love amongstthem．O my sweet， I prattleout of fashion， and I dote In mine own comforts ．I prithee，good Iago， Go to the bay and disembark my coffers ： Bring thou the master to the citadel； He is a good one， and his worthiness Does challenge much respect．Come，Desdemona， Once more，well met at Cyprus． [Exeunt OTHELLO，DESDEMONA，and Attendants] IAGO Do thou meet me presently at the harbour．Come hither． If thou be’st valiant，——as，they say，base men being in love have then a nobility in their natures more than is native to them ——list me．The lieutenant tonight watches on the court of guard ：——first，I must tell thee this——Desdemona is directly in love with him． RODERIGO With him！why，’tis not possible IAGO Lay thy finger thus，and let thy soul be instructed． Mark me with what violence she first loved the Moor， but for braggingand telling her fantasticallies： and will she love him still for prating？let not thy discreet heart think it．Her eye must be fed； and what delight shall she have to look on the devil？ When the blood is made dull with the act of sport，there should be，again to in flame it and to give satiety a fresh appetite，loveliness in favour， sympathy in years，manners and beauties；all which the Moor is defective in：now，for want of these required conveniences， her delicate tendemess will find itself abused，begin to heave the gorge， disrelish and abhor the Moor；very nature will instruct her in it and compel her to some second choice．Now，sir，this granted，——as it is a most pregnantand unforced position——who stands so eminent in the degree of this fortune as Cassio does？a knave very voluble； no further conscionablethan in putting on the mere form of civil and humane seeming ， for the better compassing of his saltand most hidden loose affection？why， none； why， none：a slipper and subtle knave，a finder of occasions，that has an eye can stampand counterfeitadvantages， though true advantage never present itself；a devilish knave． Besides，the knave is handsome，young，and hath all those requisitesin him that folly and green minds look after：a pestilentcomplete knave；and the woman hath found him already． RODERIGO I cannot believe that in her； she’s full of most blessed condition． IAGO Blessed fig’s-end！the wine she drinks is made of grapes：if she had been blessed，she would never have loved the Moor． Blessed pudding！Didst thou not see her paddle with the palm of his hand？ didst not mark that？ RODERIGO Yes， that I did；but that was but courtesy． IAGO Lechery， by this hand； an index and obscureprologue to the history of lust and foul thoughts．They met so near with their lips that their breaths embraced together．Villanous thoughts， Roderigo！when these mutualitiesso marshal the way，hard at hand comes the master and main exercise，the incorporate conclusion，Pish！But，sir，be you ruled by me：I have brought you from Venice．Watch you to-night； for the command，I’ll lay’t upon you． Cassio knows you not．I’ll not be far from you：do you find some occasion to anger Cassio，either by speaking too loud，or taintinghis discipline；or from what other course you please，which the time shall more favourably minister． RODERIGO Well． IAGO Sir，he is rash and very sudden in choler，and haply may strike at you：provokehim，that he may；for even out of that will I cause these of Cyprus to mutiny； whose qualification shall come into no true taste again but by the displantingof Cassio．So shall you have a shorter journey to your desires by the means I shall then have to prefer them； and the impedimentmost profitably removed， without the which there were no expectation of our prosperity RODERIGO I will do this，if I can bring it to any opportunity IAGO I warrant thee．Meet me by and by at the citadel： I must fetch his necessariesashore．Farewell． RODERIGO Adieu． [Exit] IAGO That Cassio loves her，I do well believe it； That she loves him，’tis apt and of great credit： The Moor，howbeitthat I endurehim not， Is of a constant， loving，noble nature， And I dare think he’ll prove to Desdemona A most dear husband．Now，I do love her too； Not out of absolute lust， though peradventure I stand accountantfor as great a sin， But partly led to dietmy revenge， For that I do suspect the lusty Moor Hath leap’d into my seat；the thought whereof Doth，like a poisonous mineral， gnawmy inwards； And nothing can or shall content my soul Till I even’d with him，wife for wife， Or failing so， yet that I put the Moor At least into a jealousyso strong That judgment cannot cure．Which thing to do， If this poor trashof Venice，whom I trash For his quick hunting，stand the putting on， I’ll have our Michael Cassio on the hip， Abuse him to the Moor in the rank garb- For I fear Cassio with my night-cap too—— Make the Moor thank me，love me and rewardme． For making him egregiouslyan ass And practising upon his peace and quiet Even to madness．’Tis here，but yet confused： Knavery’splain face is never seen tinused． [Exit]
