Hath he said anything?



              IAGO
               He hath, my lord, but be you well assur’d, [30]
               No more than he’ll unswear.



              OTHELLO
                               What hath he said?



              IAGO
               Faith, that he did... I know not what he did.



              OTHELLO
               But what?



              IAGO
               Lie.




              OTHELLO
                               With her?



              IAGO
                               With her, on her, what you will.



              OTHELLO
          Lie with her, lie on her? − We say lie on her, [35] when they belie her, − lie
          with her, zounds, that’s fulsome! Handkerchief − confessions − handkerchief!
          To confess, and be hanged for his labour. First, to be hanged, and then to

          confess; I tremble at it. Nature would not invest herself in such shadowing
          passion [40] without some instruction. It is not words that shake me thus.
          Pish! Noses, ears and lips. Is ’t possible? − Confess? − Handkerchief? − O
          devil!

                                                                                               He falls down.



              IAGO
               Work on,
               My medicine, work: thus credulous fools are caught, [45]
