RODERIGO . I do follow here in the chase , not like a hound that hunts , but one that fills up the cry . My money is almost spent , I have been tonight exceedingly well cudgelled ; and I think the issue will be , I shall have so much experience for my pains , and so , with no money at all and a little more wit , return again to Venice . IAGO . How poor are they that have not patience ! What wound did ever heal but by degrees ? Thou know’st we work by wit , and not by witchcraft , And wit depends on dilatory time . Does’t not go well ? Cassio hath beaten thee , And thou , by that small hurt , hast cashier’d Cassio ; Though other things grow fair against the sun , Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe . Content thyself awhile . By the mass , ’ tis morning ; Pleasure and action make the hours seem short . Retire thee ; go where thou art billeted . Away , I say , thou shalt know more hereafter . Nay , get thee gone . [ Exit Roderigo . ] Two things are to be done , My wife must move for Cassio to her mistress . I’ll set her on ; Myself the while to draw the Moor apart , And bring him jump when he may Cassio find Soliciting his wife . Ay , that’s the way . Dull not device by coldness and delay .

But , masters , here’s money for you : and the general so likes your music , that he desires you , for love’s sake , to make no more noise with it . FIRST MUSICIAN . Well , sir , we will not . CLOWN . If you have any music that may not be heard , to’t again . But , as they say , to hear music the general does not greatly care . FIRST MUSICIAN . We have none such , sir . CLOWN . Then put up your pipes in your bag , for I’ll away . Go , vanish into air , away ! [ Exeunt Musicians . ] CASSIO . Dost thou hear , mine honest friend ? CLOWN . No , I hear not your honest friend . I hear you . CASSIO . Prithee , keep up thy quillets . There’s a poor piece of gold for thee : if the gentlewoman that attends the general’s wife be stirring , tell her there’s one Cassio entreats her a little favour of speech . Wilt thou do this ? CLOWN . She is stirring , sir ; if she will stir hither , I shall seem to notify unto her . CASSIO . Do , good my friend . [ Exit Clown . ] Enter Iago . In happy time , Iago . IAGO . You have not been a - bed , then ? CASSIO . Why , no . The day had broke Before we parted . I have made bold , Iago , To send in to your wife .
