CASSIO . I do not understand . IAGO . He’s married . CASSIO . To who ? Enter Othello . IAGO . Marry to — Come , captain , will you go ? OTHELLO . Have with you . CASSIO . Here comes another troop to seek for you . Enter Brabantio , Roderigo and Officers with torches and weapons . IAGO . It is Brabantio . General , be advis’d , He comes to bad intent . OTHELLO . Holla , stand there ! RODERIGO . Signior , it is the Moor . BRABANTIO . Down with him , thief ! [ They draw on both sides . ] IAGO . You , Roderigo ! Come , sir , I am for you . OTHELLO . Keep up your bright swords , for the dew will rust them . Good signior , you shall more command with years Than with your weapons . BRABANTIO . O thou foul thief , where hast thou stow’d my daughter ? Damn’d as thou art , thou hast enchanted her , For I’ll refer me to all things of sense , ( If she in chains of magic were not bound ) Whether a maid so tender , fair , and happy , So opposite to marriage , that she shunn’d The wealthy curled darlings of our nation , Would ever have , to incur a general mock , Run from her guardage to the sooty bosom Of such a thing as thou — to fear , not to delight . Judge me the world , if ’ tis not gross in sense , That thou hast practis’d on her with foul charms , Abus’d her delicate youth with drugs or minerals That weakens motion . I’ll have’t disputed on ; ’ Tis probable , and palpable to thinking . I therefore apprehend and do attach thee For an abuser of the world , a practiser Of arts inhibited and out of warrant . — Lay hold upon him , if he do resist , Subdue him at his peril . OTHELLO . Hold your hands , Both you of my inclining and the rest : Were it my cue to fight , I should have known it Without a prompter . Where will you that I go To answer this your charge ? BRABANTIO . To prison , till fit time Of law and course of direct session Call thee to answer . OTHELLO . What if I do obey ? How may the duke be therewith satisfied , Whose messengers are here about my side , Upon some present business of the state , To bring me to him ? OFFICER . ’ Tis true , most worthy signior , The duke’s in council , and your noble self , I am sure is sent for . BRABANTIO . How ? The duke in council ? In this time of the night ? Bring him away ; Mine’s not an idle cause . The duke himself , Or any of my brothers of the state , Cannot but feel this wrong as ’ twere their own . For if such actions may have passage free , Bond - slaves and pagans shall our statesmen be . [ Exeunt . ] SCENE III . Venice . A council chamber . The Duke and Senators sitting at a table ; Officers attending . DUKE . There is no composition in these news That gives them credit . FIRST SENATOR . Indeed , they are disproportion’d ; My letters say a hundred and seven galleys . DUKE . And mine a hundred and forty .
