Within: “A sail, a sail!”.

CASSIO
The great contention of the sea and skies
Parted our fellowship: but, hark! a sail.
A shot.

SECOND GENTLEMAN
They give their greeting to the citadel,

This likewise is a friend.

CASSIO
So speaks this voice. [95]
Good ancient, you are welcome, (To Emilia) welcome, mistress:
Let it not gall your patience, good Iago,

That I extend my manners; ’tis my breeding
That gives me this bold show of courtesy.
Kissing her.

IAGO
Sir, would she give you so much of her lips [100]
As of her tongue she has bestow’d on me,

You’ld have enough.

DESDEMONA
Alas! she has no speech.

IAGO
I know, too much:
I find it, I; for when I ha’ list to sleep −
Marry, before your ladyship, I grant, [105]

She puts her tongue a little in her heart,
And chides with thinking.

EMILIA
You ha’ little cause to say so.
