Of here, and every where: straight satisfy yourself.
               If she be in her chamber, or your house,
               Let loose on me the justice of the state
               For this delusion.



              BRABANTIO
                               Strike on the tinder, ho! [140]

               Give me a taper, call up all my people:
               This accident is not unlike my dream,
               Belief of it oppresses me already:

               Light I say, light!
                                                                                                    Exit above.



              IAGO
                               Farewell, for I must leave you:
               It seems not meet, nor wholesome to my place, [145]
               To be produc’d, as if I stay I shall,

               Against the Moor, for I do know the state,
               However this may gall him with some check,
               Cannot with safety cast him, for he’s embark’d,
               With such loud reason, to the Cyprus wars, [150]

               Which even now stands in act, that, for their souls,
               Another of his fathom they have not
               To lead their business, in which regard,
               Though I do hate him, as I do hell’s pains,

               Yet, for necessity of present life, [155]
               I must show out a flag, and sign of love,
               Which is indeed but sign. That you shall surely find him,
               Lead to the Sagittar the raised search,

               And there will I be with him. So farewell.
                                                                                                             Exit.


                       Enter Brabantio in his night-gown, and Servants with torches.



              BRABANTIO
               It is too true an evil, gone she is, [160]
               And what’s to come, of my despised time,

               Is nought but bitterness. Now Roderigo,
