SCENE XI

Table of Contents

EMILIA

Is not this man jealous?

DESDEMONA

I ne’er saw this before.

Sure there’s some wonder in this handkerchief;

I am most unhappy in the loss of it.

EMILIA

‘Tis not a year or two shows us a man:

They are all but stomachs and we all but food:

They eat us hungerly, and when they are full,

They belch us.—Look you,—Cassio and my husband.

[Enter Cassio and Iago.]

IAGO

There is no other way; ‘tis she must do’t:

And, lo, the happiness! go and impórtune her.

DESDEMONA

How now, good Cassio! what’s the news with you?

CASSIO

Madam, my former suit: I do beseech you

That by your virtuous means I may again

Exist, and be a member of his love,

Whom I, with all the office of my heart,

Entirely honour: I would not be delay’d.

If my offence be of such mortal kind

That nor my service past, nor present sorrows,

Nor purpos’d merit in futurity,

Can ransom me into his love again,

But to know so must be my benefit;

So shall I clothe me in a forc’d content,

And shut myself up in some other course,

To fortune’s alms.

DESDEMONA

Alas, thrice-gentle Cassio!

My advocation is not now in tune;

My lord is not my lord; nor should I know him

Were he in favour as in humour alter’d.

So help me every spirit sanctified,

As I have spoken for you all my best,

And stood within the blank of his displeasure

For my free speech! You must awhile be patient:

What I can do I will; and more I will

Than for myself I dare: let that suffice you.

IAGO

Is my lord angry?

EMILIA

He went hence but now,

And certainly in strange unquietness.

IAGO

Can he be angry? I have seen the cannon,

When it hath blown his ranks into the air

And, like the devil, from his very arm

Puff’d his own brother;—and can he be angry?

Something of moment, then: I will go meet him:

There’s matter in’t indeed if he be angry.
