P. 1535
How have I been behav’d, that he might stick [110]
The smallest opinion, on my greatest abuse?
Enter Iago and Emilia.
IAGO
What is your pleasure, madam? How is’t with you?
DESDEMONA
I cannot tell: those that do teach young babes
Do it with gentle means, and easy tasks;
He might ha’ chid me so, for, in good faith, [115]
I am a child at chiding.
IAGO
What is the matter, lady?
EMILIA
Alas, Iago, my lord hath so bewhor’d her,
Thrown such despite, and heavy terms upon her,
As true hearts cannot bear.
DESDEMONA
Am I that name, Iago?
IAGO
What name, fair lady? [120]
DESDEMONA
Such as she says my lord did say I was?
EMILIA
He call’d her whore: a beggar in his drink
Could not have laid such terms upon his callat.
IAGO
Why did he so?
