No more of drowning, do you hear?
RODERIGO. I am changed: I'll go sell all my land. [Exit.] IAGO. Thus do I ever make my fool my purse; For I mine own gain'd knowledge should profane If I would time expend with such a snipe But for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor; And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets He has done my office: I know not if't be true; But I, for mere suspicion in that kind, Will do as if for surety. He holds me well, The better shall my purpose work on him. Cassio's a proper man: let me see now; To get his place, and to plume up my will In double knavery,--How, how?--Let's see:-- After some time, to abuse Othello's ear That he is too familiar with his wife:-- He hath a person, and a smooth dispose, To be suspected; fram'd to make women false. The Moor is of a free and open nature, That thinks men honest that but seem to be so; And will as tenderly be led by the nose As asses are. I have't;--it is engender'd:--hell and night Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light. |
