CASSIO
Indeed she is a most fresh and delicate creature. [20]

IAGO
What an eye she has! methinks it sounds a parley of provocation.

CASSIO
An inviting eye, and yet methinks right modest.

IAGO
And when she speaks, ’tis an alarm to love.

CASSIO
It is indeed perfection. [25]

IAGO
Well, happiness to their sheets!... Come, lieutenant, I have a stoup of wine,

and here without are a brace of Cyprus gallants, that would fain have a
measure to the health of the black Othello.

CASSIO
Not to-night, good Iago; I have very poor and [30] unhappy brains for
drinking: I could well wish courtesy would invent some other custom of

entertainment.

IAGO

O, they are our friends,... but one cup: I’ll drink for you.

CASSIO
I ha’ drunk but one cup to-night, and that was [35] craftily qualified too, and
behold what innovation it makes here: I am unfortunate in the infirmity, and
dare not task my weakness with any more.

IAGO
What, man, ’tis a night of revels, the gallants desire it. [40]
