familiar with his wife。 He hath a person and a smooth dispose To be
suspectedframed to make women false。 The Moor is of a free and open
nature； That thinks men honest that but seem to be so； And will as tenderly
be led by the nose As asses are。 I have't。 It is engender'd。 Hell and night
Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light。 Exit。

THE TRAGEDY OF OTHELLO； MOOR OF VENICE
SCENE I。 A seaport in Cyprus。 An open place near
the quay。
Enter Montano and two Gentlemen。
MONTANO。 What from the cape can you discern at sea？ FIRST
GENTLEMAN。 Nothing at all。 It is a high…wrought flood； I cannot； 'twixt
the heaven and the main； Descry a sail。 MONTANO。 Methinks the wind
hath spoke aloud at land； A fuller blast ne'er shook our battlements。 If it
hath ruffian'd so upon the sea； What ribs of oak； when mountains melt on
them； Can hold the mortise？ What shall we hear of this？ SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 A segregation of the Turkish fleet。 For do but stand upon
the foaming shore； The chidden billow seems to pelt the clouds； The wind…
shaked surge； with high and monstrous mane； Seems to cast water on the
burning bear； And quench the guards of the ever…fixed pole。 I never did
like molestation view On the enchafed flood。 MONTANO。 If that the
Turkish fleet Be not enshelter'd and embay'd； they are drown'd； It is
impossible to bear it out。
Enter a third Gentleman。
THIRD GENTLEMAN。 News； lads！ Our wars are done。 The
desperate tempest hath so bang'd the Turks； That their designment halts。 A
noble ship of Venice Hath seen a grievous wreck and sufferance On most
part of their fleet。 MONTANO。 How？ Is this true？ THIRD GENTLEMAN。
The ship is here put in； A Veronesa。 Michael Cassio； Lieutenant to the
warlike Moor； Othello； Is come on shore； the Moor himself at sea； And is
in full commission here for Cyprus。 MONTANO。 I am glad on't； 'tis a
worthy governor。 THIRD GENTLEMAN。 But this same Cassio； though he
speak of comfort Touching the Turkish loss； yet he looks sadly And prays
the Moor be safe； for they were parted With foul and violent tempest。
MONTANO。 Pray heavens he be； For I have served him； and the man
commands Like a full soldier。 Let's to the seaside； ho！ As well to see the
vessel that's come in As to throw out our eyes for brave Othello； Even till
we make the main and the aerial blue An indistinct regard。 THIRD
GENTLEMAN。 Come； let's do so； For every minute is expectancy Of

more arrivance。
Enter Cassio。
CASSIO。 Thanks； you the valiant of this warlike isle； That so
approve the Moor！ O； let the heavens Give him defense against the
elements； For I have lost him on a dangerous sea。 MONTANO。 Is he well
shipp'd？ CASSIO。 His bark is stoutly timber'd； and his pilot Of very expert
and approved allowance； Therefore my hopes； not surfeited to death；
Stand in bold cure。 A cry within； 〃A sail； a sail； a sail！〃
Enter a fourth Gentleman。
What noise？ FOURTH GENTLEMAN。 The town is empty； on the
brow o' the sea Stand ranks of people； and they cry； 〃A sail！〃 CASSIO。 My
hopes do shape him for the governor。 Guns heard。 SECOND
GENTLEMAN。 They do discharge their shot of courtesy Our friends at
least。 CASSIO。 I pray you； sir； go forth； And give us truth who 'tis that is
arrived。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。 I shall。 Exit。 MONTANO。 But； good
lieutenant； is your general wived？ CASSIO。 Most fortunately： he hath
achieved a maid That paragons description and wild fame； One that excels
the quirks of blazoning pens； And in the essential vesture of creation Does
tire the ingener。
Re…enter second Gentleman。
How now！ who has put in？ SECOND GENTLEMAN。 'Tis one Iago；
ancient to the general。 CASSIO。 He has had most favorable 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。
Enter Desdemona； Emilia Iago； Roderigo； and Attendants。 O； behold；
The riches of the ship is come on shore！ Ye men of Cyprus； let her have

your knees。 Hall to thee； lady！ And the grace of heaven； Before； behind
thee； and on every hand； Enwheel thee round！ DESDEMONA。 I thank you；
valiant Cassio。 What tidings can you tell me of my lord？ CASSIO。 He is
not yet arrived； nor know I aught But that he's well and will be shortly
here。 DESDEMONA。 O； but I fearHow lost you company？ CASSIO。
The great contention of the sea and skies Parted our fellowshipBut； hark！
a sail。 A cry within； 〃A sail； a sail！〃 Guns heard。 SECOND GENTLEMAN。
They give their greeting to the citadel； This likewise is a friend。 CASSIO。
See for the news。 Exit Gentleman。 Good ancient； you are welcome。 ＇To
Emilia。＇ Welcome； mistress。 Let it not gall your patience； good Iago； That
I extend my manners； 'tis my breeding That gives me this bold show of
courtesy。 Kisses her。 IAGO。 Sir； would she give you so much of her lips
As of her tongue she oft bestows on me； You'ld have enough。
DESDEMONA。 Alas； she has no speech。 IAGO。 In faith； too much； I find
it still when I have list to sleep。 Marry； before your ladyship I grant； She
puts her tongue a little in her heart And chides with thi
