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.
