Wear your eye thus, not jealous, nor secure.
               I would not have your free and noble nature
               Out of self-bounty be abused, look to ’t:
               I know our country disposition well; [205]

               In Venice they do let God see the pranks
               They dare not show their husbands: their best conscience
               Is not to leave undone, but keep unknown.



              OTHELLO
               Dost thou say so?



              IAGO
               She did deceive her father, marrying you; [210]

               And when she seem’d to shake and fear your looks,
               She lov’d them most.



              OTHELLO
                               And so she did.



              IAGO
                               Why, go to then,
               She that so young could give out such a seeming,

               To seal her father’s eyes up, close as oak,
               He thought ’twas witchcraft: but I am much to blame, [215]
               I humbly do beseech you of your pardon,
               For too much loving you.



              OTHELLO

                               I am bound to thee for ever.


              IAGO

               I see this hath a little dash’d your spirits.



              OTHELLO
               Not a jot, not a jot.



              IAGO
