SCENE VI

Table of Contents

[Enter Othello and Attendants.]

OTHELLO

O my fair warrior!

DESDEMONA

My dear Othello!

OTHELLO

It gives me wonder great as my content

To see you here before me. O my soul’s joy!

If after every tempest come such calms,

May the winds blow till they have waken’d death!

And let the laboring bark climb hills of seas

Olympus-high, and duck again as low

As hell’s from heaven! If it were now to die,

‘Twere now to be most happy; for, I fear,

My soul hath her content so absolute

That not another comfort like to this

Succeeds in unknown fate.

DESDEMONA

The heavens forbid

But that our loves and comforts should increase

Even as our days do grow!

OTHELLO

Amen to that, sweet powers!—

I cannot speak enough 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 tun’d now!

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 acquaintance of this isle?

Honey, you shall be well desir’d in Cyprus;

I have found great love amongst them. O my sweet,

I prattle out of fashion, and I dote

In mine own comforts.—I pry’thee, 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.]
