MONTANO

What is the matter? How now, general?

EMILIA
O, are you come, Iago? you have done well, [170]
That men must lay their murders on your neck.

ALL
What is the matter?

EMILIA
Disprove this villain, if thou be’st a man;

He says thou told’st him that his wife was false,
I know thou didst not, thou art not such a villain: [175]
Speak, for my heart is full.

IAGO
I told him what I thought, and told no more
Than what he found himself was apt and true.

EMILIA

But did you ever tell him she was false?

IAGO

I did. [180]

EMILIA
You told a lie, an odious damned lie;
Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie!
She false with Cassio; did you say with Cassio?

IAGO

With Cassio, mistress; go to, charm your tongue.

EMILIA

I will not charm my tongue, I am bound to speak: [185]
My mistress here lies murder’d in her bed.
