And will not hear’t:... what committed, −
Impudent strumpet!

DESDEMONA
By heaven, you do me wrong.

OTHELLO
Are not you a strumpet?

DESDEMONA
No, as I am a Christian:
If to preserve this vessel for my lord [85]

From any hated foul unlawful touch,
Be not to be a strumpet, I am none.

OTHELLO
What, not a whore?

DESDEMONA
No, as I shall be sav’d.

Enter Emilia.

OTHELLO
Is ’t possible?

DESDEMONA
O heaven, forgiveness.

OTHELLO
I cry you mercy, [90]
I took you for that cunning whore of Venice,
That married with Othello: you, mistress,

That have the office opposite to Saint Peter,
And keeps the gates in hell, ay, you, you, you!
We ha’ done our course; there’s money for your pains, [95]
I pray you turn the key, and keep our counsel.
