IAGO IN BIRMINGHAM.

(_SHAKSPEARE ONCE MORE ON THE SITUATION._)

[Illustration]

_Iago_ MR. J-S-PH CH-MB-RL-N.
_Roderigo_ MR. J-SSE C-LL-NS.

_Roderigo._ Thou told'st me thou did'st hold him in thy hate.

_Iago._ Despise me, if I did not. The great ones of the City,
In personal suit to make me his Lieutenant,
Off-capped to him:--and, by the faith of man,
I know my price--I am worth no worse a place;
But he, as loving his own pride and purposes,
Evades them with a bombast circumstance,
