SCENE VIII

Table of Contents

Cyprus. A Room in the Castle.

[Enter Othello and Emilia.]

OTHELLO

You have seen nothing, then?

EMILIA

Nor ever heard, nor ever did suspect.

OTHELLO

Yes, you have seen Cassio and she together.

EMILIA

But then I saw no harm, and then I heard

Each syllable that breath made up between them.

OTHELLO

What, did they never whisper?

EMILIA

Never, my lord.

OTHELLO

Nor send you out o’ the way?

EMILIA

Never.

OTHELLO

To fetch her fan, her gloves, her mask, nor nothing?

EMILIA

Never, my lord.

OTHELLO

That’s strange.

EMILIA

I durst, my lord, to wager she is honest,

Lay down my soul at stake: if you think other,

Remove your thought,—it doth abuse your bosom.

If any wretch have put this in your head,

Let heaven requite it with the serpent’s curse!

For if she be not honest, chaste, and true,

There’s no man happy; the purest of their wives

Is foul as slander.

OTHELLO

Bid her come hither.—Go.

[Exit Emilia.]

She says enough; yet she’s a simple bawd

That cannot say as much. This is a subtle whore,

A closet-lock-and-key of villainous secrets:

And yet she’ll kneel and pray; I have seen her do’t.
