SCENE IV

Table of Contents

[Re-enter second Gentleman.]

CASSIO

How now! who has put in?

SECOND GENTLEMAN

‘Tis one Iago, ancient to the general.

CASSIO

He has had most favourable and happy speed:

Tempests themselves, high seas, and howling winds,

The gutter’d rocks, and congregated sands,—

Traitors ensteep’d to clog the guiltless keel,—

As having sense of beauty, do omit

Their mortal natures, letting go safely by

The divine Desdemona.

MONTANO

What is she?

CASSIO

She that I spake of, our great captain’s captain,

Left in the conduct of the bold Iago;

Whose footing here anticipates our thoughts

A se’nnight’s speed.—Great Jove, Othello guard,

And swell his sail with thine own powerful breath,

That he may bless this bay with his tall ship,

Make love’s quick pants in Desdemona’s arms,

Give renew’d fire to our extincted spirits,

And bring all Cyprus comfort!
