SCENE XII

Table of Contents

DESDEMONA

I pr’ythee, do so.

[Exit Iago.]

Something sure of state,—

Either from Venice or some unhatch’d practice

Made demonstrable here in Cyprus to him,—

Hath puddled his clear spirit, and in such cases

Men’s natures wrangle with inferior things,

Though great ones are their object. ‘Tis even so;

For let our finger ache, and it indues

Our other healthful members even to that sense

Of pain: nay, we must think men are not gods,

Nor of them look for such observancy

As fits the bridal.—Beshrew me much, Emilia,

I was,—unhandsome warrior as I am,—

Arraigning his unkindness with my soul;

But now I find I had suborn’d the witness,

And he’s indicted falsely.

EMILIA

Pray heaven it be state matters, as you think,

And no conception nor no jealous toy

Concerning you.

DESDEMONA

Alas the day, I never gave him cause!

EMILIA

But jealous souls will not be answer’d so;

They are not ever jealous for the cause,

But jealous for they are jealous: ‘tis a monster

Begot upon itself, born on itself.

DESDEMONA

Heaven keep that monster from Othello’s mind!

EMILIA

Lady, amen.

DESDEMONA

I will go seek him.—Cassio, walk hereabout:

If I do find him fit, I’ll move your suit,

And seek to effect it to my uttermost.

CASSIO

I humbly thank your ladyship.

[Exeunt Desdemona and Emilia.]
