SCENE XI

Table of Contents

IAGO

Thus do I ever make my fool my purse;

For I mine own gain’d knowledge should profane

If I would time expend with such a snipe

But for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor;

And it is thought abroad that ‘twixt my sheets

He has done my office: I know not if ‘t be true;

But I, for mere suspicion in that kind,

Will do as if for surety. He holds me well,

The better shall my purpose work on him.

Cassio’s a proper man: let me see now;

To get his place, and to plume up my will

In double knavery,—How, how?—Let’s see:—

After some time, to abuse Othello’s ear

That he is too familiar with his wife:—

He hath a person, and a smooth dispose,

To be suspected; fram’d to make women false.

The Moor is of a free and open nature,

That thinks men honest that but seem to be so;

And will as tenderly be led by the nose

As asses are.

I have’t;—it is engender’d:—hell and night

Must bring this monstrous birth to the world’s light.

[Exit.]
