IAGO

You charge me most unjustly.

RODERIGO
With nought but truth. I have wasted myself out of means: the jewels you
have had from me, to deliver to Desdemona, would half have corrupted a
votarist: you have told me she has receiv’d ’em, and [190] return’d me

expectation, and comforts, of sudden respect, and acquittance, but I find
none.

IAGO
Well, go to, very well.

RODERIGO
Very well, go to, I cannot go to, man, it is not very well, by this hand, I say
’tis very scurvy, and [195] begin to find myself fopp’d in it.

IAGO
Very well.

RODERIGO

I say it is not very well: I will make myself known to Desdemona; if she will
return me my jewels, I will give over my suit, and repent my unlawful
solicitation, [200] if not, assure yourself I’ll seek satisfaction of you.

IAGO
You have said now.

RODERIGO
Ay, and I have said nothing but what I protest intendment of doing.

IAGO

Why, now I see there’s mettle in thee, and even [205] from this time do build
on thee a better opinion than ever before, give me thy hand, Roderigo: thou
hast taken against me a most just exception, but yet I protest, I have dealt
most directly in thy affairs.
