P. 1509
I was (unhandsome warrior as I am)
Arraigning his unkindness with my soul; [150]
But now I find I had suborn’d the witness,
And he’s indicted falsely.
EMILIA
Pray heaven it be state-matters, as you think,
And no conception, nor no jealous toy
Concerning you. [155]
DESDEMONA
Alas the day, I never game him cause!
EMILIA
But jealous souls will not be answer’d so;
They are not ever jealous for the cause,
But jealous for they are jealous: ’tis a monster,
Begot upon itself, born on itself. [160]
DESDEMONA
Heaven keep that monster from Othello’s mind!
EMILIA
Lady, amen.
DESDEMONA
I will go seek him, Cassio, walk hereabout,
If I do find him fit, I’ll move your suit,
And seek to effect it to my uttermost. [165]
CASSIO
I humbly thank your ladyship.
Exeunt Desdemona and Emilia.
Enter Bianca.
