SCENE III

Table of Contents

[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 him on a dangerous sea!

MONTANO

Is he well shipp’d?

CASSIO

His bark is stoutly timber’d, and his pilot

Of very expert and approv’d allowance;

Therefore my hopes, not surfeited to death,

Stand in bold cure.

[Within.] A sail, a sail, a sail!

[Enter a fourth Gentleman.]

CASSIO

What noise?

FOURTH GENTLEMAN

The town is empty; on the brow o’ the sea

Stand ranks of people, and they cry, “A sail!”

CASSIO

My hopes do shape him for the governor.

[Guns within.]

SECOND GENTLEMAN

They do discharge their shot of courtesy:

Our friends at least.

CASSIO

I pray you, sir, go forth,

And give us truth who ‘tis that is arriv’d.

SECOND GENTLEMAN

I shall.

[Exit.]

MONTANO

But, good lieutenant, is your general wiv’d?

CASSIO

Most fortunately: he hath achiev’d a maid

That paragons description and wild fame,

One that excels the quirks of blazoning pens,

And in the essential vesture of creation

Does tire the ingener.—
