［Cyprus．A street． Enter IAGO and RODERIGO］
IAGO
Here， stand behind this bulk； straight will hee：
Wear thy good rapierbare， and put it home：
Quick， quick； fear nothing； I’ll be at thy elbow：
It makes us， or it mars us； think on that，
And fix most firm thy resolution．
RODERIGO
Be near at hand；I may miscarry in’t．
IAGO
Here， at thy handd： be bold， and take thy stand．
［Retires．］
RODERIGO
I have no great devotion to the deed；
And yet he hath given me satisfying reasons：
‘Tis but a man gone． Forth， my sword： he dies．
IAGO
I have rubb’d this young quat almost to the sense，
And he grows angry． Now，whether he kill Cassio，
Or Cassio him，or each do kill the other，
Every way makes my gain： live Roderigo，
He calls me to a restitutionrge
Of gold and jewels that I bobb’d from him，
As gifts to Desdemona；
It must not be： if Cassio do remain，
He hath a daily beauty in his life
That makes me ugly； and， besides， the Moor
May unfoldme to him； there stand I in much peril：
No，he must die．But so：I hear himing．
［Enter CASSIO］
RODERIGO
I know his gait，’tis he．—Viin， thou diest！
［Makes a pass at CASSIO］
CASSIO
That thrust had been mine enemy indeed，
But that my coat is better than thou know’st
I will make proof of thine．
［Draws， and wounds RODERIGO］
RODERIGO
O， I am in！
［IAGO from behind wounds CASSIO in the leg， and exit］
CASSIO
I am maim’d for ever． Help， ho！ murder！ murder！
［Falls］
［Enter OTHELLO］
OTHELLO
The voice of Cassio：Iago keeps his word．
RODERIGO
O， viin that I am！
OTHELLO
It is even so．
CASSIO
O， help， ho！ light！ a surgeon！
OTHELLO
‘Tis he： ——O brave Iago， honest and just，
That hast such noble sense of thy friend’s wrong！
Thou teachest me． Minion， your dear lies dead，
And your unblestfate hies：strumpet，Ie．
Forth of my heart those charms，thine eyes，are blotted；
Thy bed，lust－stain’d，shall with lust’s blood be spotted．
[Exit]
［Enter LODOVICO and GRATIANO］
CASSIO
What，ho！no watch？no passage？murder！murder！
GRATIANO
‘Tis some mischance；the cry is very direful．
CASSIO
O，help！
LODOVICO
Hark！
RODERIGO
O wretched viin！
LODOVICO
Two or three groan：it is a heavy night：
These may be counterfeits：let’s think’t unsafe
Toe in to the cry without more help．
RODERIGO
Nobodye？then shall I bleedto death．
LODOVICO
Hark！
［Re-enter IAGO，with a light］
GRATIANO

IAGO

LODOVICO

IAGO
Did not you hear a cry？
CASSIO

IAGO
What’s the matter？
GRATIANO
This is Othello’s ancient，as I take it．
LODOVICO
The same indeed；a very valiantfellow．
IAGO
What are you here that cry so grievously？
CASSIO
Iago ？O，I am spoil’d，undone by viins！
Give me some help．
IAGO
O me，lieutenant！what viins have done this？
CASSIO
I think that one of them is hereabout，
And cannot make away．
IAGO
O treacherousviins！
What are you theree in，and give some help．
［To LODOVICO and GRATIANO］
RODERIGO

CASSIO
That’s one of them．
IAGO

［StabsRODERIGO］
RODERIGO
O damn’dIago！O inhuman dog！
IAGO
Kill men i’the dark！—Where be these bloodythieves？—
How silent is this town！——Ho！murder！murder！——
What may you be？are you of good or evil？
LODOVICO
As you shall prove us，praise us．
IAGO

LODOVICO

［CASSIO and RODERIGO are borne off．]

Though tongues were out of use．
