P. 1478
Do not doubt that: before Emilia here
I give thee warrant of thy place; assure thee [20]
If I do vow a friendship, I’ll perform it
To the last article; my lord shall never rest,
I’ll watch him tame, and talk him out of patience;
His bed shall seem a school, his board a shrift,
I’ll intermingle every thing he does [25]
With Cassio’s suit; therefore be merry, Cassio,
For thy solicitor shall rather die
Than give thy cause away.
Enter Othello and Iago.
EMILIA
Madam, here comes my lord.
CASSIO
Madam, I’ll take my leave. [30]
DESDEMONA
Why, stay and hear me speak.
CASSIO
Madam, not now, I am very ill at ease,
Unfit for mine own purpose.
DESDEMONA
Well, do your discretion.
Exit Cassio.
IAGO
Ha, I like not that. [35]
OTHELLO
What dost thou say?
IAGO
