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?
