P. 1545

Wouldst thou do such a deed, for all the world?



              EMILIA
               Why, would not you?



              DESDEMONA
                               No, by this heavenly light!



              EMILIA
               Nor I neither, by this heavenly light, [65]
               I might do it as well in the dark.



              DESDEMONA
               Wouldst thou do such a thing for all the world?



              EMILIA
               The world is a huge thing, it is a great price,

               For a small vice.



              DESDEMONA
                               Good troth, I think thou wouldst not.



              EMILIA
          By my troth, I think I should, and undo ’t [70] when I had done it; marry, I
          would not do such a thing for a joint-ring; or for measures of lawn, nor for

          gowns, or petticoats, nor caps, nor any such exhibition; but, for the whole
          world? ud’s pity, who would not make her husband a cuckold, to make him
          [75] a monarch? I should venture purgatory for it.



              DESDEMONA
               Beshrew me, if I would do such a wrong,
               For the whole world.



              EMILIA
          Why, the wrong is but a wrong i’ the world; and having the world for your

          labour, ’tis a wrong in [80] your own world, and you might quickly make it
          right.
