{7226}{7340}There was once in venice|a moor othello who for
{7345}{7438}his merits in the affairs of war|was held in great esteem.
{7443}{7520}It happened that he fell in love|with a young and noble lady
{7526}{7555}called desdemona,
{7569}{7665}who drawn by his virtue,|became equally enamoured of him.
{7683}{7752}So it was that since her father|was much opposed to the union
{7752}{7853}of desdemona with a moor,|she fled her house at night.
{7866}{7927}In secret haste|they were married.
{7956}{8057}Now there was in othello's|company, an ensign named lago,
{8064}{8124}a very amiable outward appearance
{8131}{8188}but his character was|extremely treacherous.
{8197}{8350}I have told often and|i retell it again and again.
{8357}{8426}I hate the moore.
{8430}{8493}I'll poison his delight.
{8514}{8611}How? How, lago?
{8614}{8695}Proclaim him in the streets,|incense her kinsmen,
{8698}{8801}and though he in fertile climate|dwell, plague him with flies.
{8807}{8847}No, they come.
{8892}{8937}What will i do?
{8954}{8986}Why, go to bed and sleep.
{8994}{9063}- I'll incontinently drown myself.|Oh, bitterness.
{9072}{9101}What should i do?
{9105}{9134}Put money in thy purse.
{9150}{9209}Ere i would say i would drown|myself for love of a guinea
{9209}{9269}hen, i would change my|humanity with a baboon!
{9431}{9468}Come, be a man.
{9506}{9536}Drown thyself?
{9539}{9593}Drown cats and blind puppies.
{9638}{9716}It cannot be that desdemona|should long continue her love
{9719}{9768}to the moor or he his to her.
{9814}{9872}It was a violent commencement.
{9890}{9989}And thou shalt see an answerable|sequestration,
{10023}{10065}put buy money in thy purse.
{10076}{10121}When she is sated with his body
{10123}{10172}she'll fine the error|of her choice.
{10177}{10265}She must change, she must,|for youth.
{10346}{10371}Your daughter!
{10410}{10462}- Look, your house!|- Your house!
{10465}{10507}- Your daughter!|- Your daughter!
{10510}{10559}Senior, is all your family|within?
{10564}{10611}Why, wherefore ask you this?
{10616}{10649}Lf't be your pleasure for your|dull watch o' th' night,
{10652}{10721}transported, with no worse nor|better guard but with a knave
{10724}{10822}of common hire, a gondolier,|to the gross clasps of a
{10826}{10856}lascivious moor.
{10859}{10877}This thou shalt answer!
{10884}{10997}Straight satisfy yourself, if she|be in your chamber or your house,
{11017}{11072}lago, can i depend on the issue?
{11077}{11126}Thou are sure of me.|Go, make money.
{11135}{11195}It is too true an evil.|Gone she is.
{11202}{11289}Is there not charms by which|the property of youth
{11293}{11336}and maidhood may be abused?
{11341}{11371}Call up all my people!
{11376}{11410}Raise my kindred!
{11590}{11620}Where is the moor?
{11625}{11680}Keep up your bright swords|for the dew'll rust them.
{11685}{11727}Oh, thou foul thief!
{11732}{11766}Where hast thou stowed|my daughter?
{11769}{11792}Hold your hands! Good signor,
{11794}{11854}where will you that i go to|answer this your charge?
{11858}{11902}To prison till fit time of law
{11905}{11965}and course of direct session|call thee to answer.
{12012}{12127}Now at the same hour, there|came messengers in haste
{12140}{12195}to the senate for there was|news that the turkish armies
{12201}{12274}were moving against the|venetian garrison in cyprus.
{12288}{12340}The senators, already raised
{12343}{12398}the net, elected the moor to the|commander of their troops.
{12402}{12443}And officers were searching
{12446}{12487}the town to apprise othello|of this honor
{12490}{12568}when lo, desdemona's old|father himself brings the moor
{12570}{12623}at sword's point to the council|chamber upon a charge of
{12626}{12714}working from desdemona with|unlawful enchant.
{12719}{12742}She was abused,
{12745}{12816}stolen from me and, ay,|corrupted by magic spells.
{12819}{12848}I'm very sorry for't.
{12863}{12959}If she in chains of magic were not|bound, whether a maid so tender,
{12964}{13051}fair and happy would ever have|to incur her general mock,
{13051}{13086}run from her father
{13095}{13172}to the sooty bosom of such a|fierce bat!
{13298}{13366}Damned as thou art,|thou hast enchanted her!
{13374}{13452}Othello, what in your own part|can you say to this?
{13457}{13485}Nothing but this is so!
{13488}{13561}Did you by indirect and forced
{13564}{13613}courses subdue and poison|this young maid of affection?
{13679}{13758}Most potent grave and|reverend signors,
{13820}{13882}my very noble and approved|good masters,
{13910}{13982}that i've taken away this old|man's daughter it's most true.
{14030}{14060}True i have married her.
{14106}{14209}The very head and front of my|offending has this extent,
{14213}{14230}no more.
{14287}{14320}Rude in my speech,
{14342}{14392}and little blessed with the soft|phrase of peace,
{14411}{14464}since these arms of mine had|seven years' pith till now some
{14466}{14519}nine moon wasted they|have used their dearest action
{14521}{14626}in the tented field and little|little of this great world can i
{14626}{14682}speak more than pertains|to feats of broil and battle.
{14691}{14757}And therefore little shall i grace|my cause in speaking of myself.
{14794}{14859}Yet by your gracious patience
{14862}{14968}i will round unvarnished tale|deliver of my whole course of love,
{14982}{15019}what drugs, what charms,
{15024}{15076}what conjuration and what
{15076}{15122}mighty magic, for such|proceedings am i charged withal
{15131}{15169}that i won his daughter.
{15174}{15229}Her father loved me, oft
{15234}{15278}invited me, still questioned me|the story of my life.
{15283}{15333}I ran it through even from my
{15334}{15383}boyish days wherein i speak of|the most disastrous chances
{15388}{15458}of moving accidents by flood|and fields of hair-breadth
{15460}{15514}scapes for the imminent|deadly breach.
{15527}{15634}Of being taken by insolent foe,|and sold to slavery,
{15657}{15755}of my redemption thence and|potency my travels history
{15773}{15861}wherein a venturous vast and|desert idle, rough quarries,
{15873}{15971}rocks and tills whose heads|touch heaven.
{15997}{16023}It was my head to speak.
{16034}{16118}Rest to hear, but desdemona|seriously inclined.
{16186}{16246}But still the house affairs would|draw her thence, which ever as
{16249}{16302}she could with haste dispatch,
{16307}{16394}come again and with a greedy|ear devour up my discourse.
{16450}{16510}I found good means to draw
{16515}{16601}from her a prayer of earnest|heart that i would all my
{16606}{16662}pilgrimage dilate, and often|did beguile her of her tears
{16666}{16737}when i did speak of some|distressed stroke of my use of it.
{16745}{16898}She gave me for my pains,|a world of sighs.
{16915}{17005}She swore, in faith: 'twas|strange, 'twas passing strange.
{17044}{17113}Twas pitiful, 'twas wondrous|pitiful.
{17135}{17168}She wished she had not heard
{17170}{17263}it, yet she wished that|heaven made her such a man.
{17317}{17408}She thanked me, and bade me|if i had a friend that loved her
{17422}{17486}i should but teach him how to|tell my story
{17509}{17541}and that would woo her.
{17545}{17589}Upon this hint i spake,
{17591}{17653}she loved my for the dangers|i had passed,
{17703}{17747}and i loved her that she|did pity them.
{17758}{17831}This only is the witchcraft|i have used.
{17838}{17881}I think this tale would win|my daughter, too.
{17886}{17917}Come hither, desdemona.
{18112}{18194}Do you perceive in all this|noble company
{18196}{18285}where most owe you obedience?
{18346}{18425}My noble father, i do perceive|here a divided duty.
{18435}{18495}To you i am bound for life|and education.
{18510}{18590}My life and education both do|learn me how to respect you.
{18606}{18639}You are the lord of duty.
{18671}{18821}I am hitherto your daughter.|But here's my husband.
{18831}{18883}And so much duty as my|mother showed to you
{18886}{18929}preferring you before her father
{18940}{18990}so much i challenge that i|may profess,
{18990}{19192}due to the moor, my lord.|God be with you. I have done.
{19194}{19242}When remedies are past|the griefs are ended.
{19245}{19336}Please it your grace on to|the state affairs.
{19341}{19393}The turk with a most mighty|preparation makes for cyprus.
{19398}{19477}Othello, the fortitude of the|place is vast known to you.
{19490}{19518}You must away this morning.
{19538}{19556}With all my heart.
{19559}{19612}When we consider the importance|of cyprus to the turk, we must
{19615}{19679}not think the turk is so|unskillful to leave that latest
{19682}{19715}which concerns them first,
{19718}{19806}neglecting an attempt of ease and|gain to wake and wage a danger.
{19908}{19991}Look to her, moor|if thou hast eyes to see.
{19991}{20086}She has deceived her father|and may thee.
{20095}{20141}My life upon her faith!
{20538}{20594}Mark me with what violence|she first loved the moor
{20597}{20656}but for bragging and dealing|a fantastical lie.
{20664}{20727}Will she love him still for prating?
{20733}{20798}Ah, let not thy discreet heart|think it.
{20846}{20923}- Lieutenant cassio.|- Largo
{20967}{21002}what a cannon.
{21007}{21027}I know my price.
{21030}{21043}I'm worth no worse a place.
{21046}{21080}But he, sir, had the election.
{21082}{21152}And what's he? This michael|cassio, this florentine,
{21154}{21235}that never set a squadron in the|field nor the division of a battle
{21238}{21333}knows more than a spinster.|Yet cassio must his lieutenant
{21336}{21413}be, by god bless the mark of|the fellow's ancient!
{21445}{21476}Well, i would not follow him that.
{21481}{21504}Oh, sir, content you.
{21510}{21548}I follow him to serve my turn|upon him.
{21550}{21591}Lago? Lago!
{21594}{21617}Honest lago!
{21627}{21660}I wake up on your lordship.
{21663}{21714}My desdemona must i leave|with thee.
