DESDEMONA . I prithee 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 . ] Enter Bianca . BIANCA . Save you , friend Cassio ! CASSIO . What make you from home ? How is it with you , my most fair Bianca ? I ’ faith , sweet love , I was coming to your house . BIANCA . And I was going to your lodging , Cassio . What , keep a week away ? Seven days and nights ? Eight score eight hours , and lovers ’ absent hours , More tedious than the dial eight score times ? O weary reckoning ! CASSIO . Pardon me , Bianca . I have this while with leaden thoughts been press’d , But I shall in a more continuate time Strike off this score of absence . Sweet Bianca , [ Giving her Desdemona’s handkerchief . ] Take me this work out . BIANCA . O Cassio , whence came this ? This is some token from a newer friend . To the felt absence now I feel a cause . Is’t come to this ? Well , well . CASSIO . Go to , woman ! Throw your vile guesses in the devil’s teeth , From whence you have them . You are jealous now That this is from some mistress , some remembrance . No , in good troth , Bianca . BIANCA . Why , whose is it ? CASSIO . I know not neither . I found it in my chamber . I like the work well . Ere it be demanded , As like enough it will , I’d have it copied . Take it , and do ’ t , and leave me for this time . BIANCA . Leave you , wherefore ? CASSIO . I do attend here on the general , And think it no addition , nor my wish , To have him see me woman’d . BIANCA . Why , I pray you ? CASSIO . Not that I love you not . BIANCA . But that you do not love me . I pray you bring me on the way a little , And say if I shall see you soon at night . CASSIO . ’ Tis but a little way that I can bring you , For I attend here . But I’ll see you soon . BIANCA . ’ Tis very good ; I must be circumstanc’d . [ Exeunt . ] ACT IV SCENE I . Cyprus . Before the Castle . Enter Othello and Iago .
