Othello
home,
    Quick, quick, fear nothing, Iâll be at thy elbow;
    It makes us or it mar s us, think of that,
    And fix most firm thy resolution . [5]
RODERIGO. Be near at hand, I may miscarry in ât .
IAGO. Here at thy hand, be bold, and take thy sword.
(Retires.)
RODERIGO. I have no great devotion to the deed;
    And yet he has given me satisfying reasons,
    âTis but a man gone: forth, my sword, he dies. [10]
IAGO. I have rubbâd this young quat almost to the sense,
    And he grows angry now: whether he kill Cassio,
    Or Cassio him, or each do kill the other,
    Every way makes my game; live Roderigo,
    He calls me to a restitution large, [15]
    For gold and jewels, that I bob bâd from him,
    As gifts to Desdemona:
    It must not be; if Cassio do remain,
    He has a daily beauty in his life,
    That makes me ugly: and besides, the Moor [20]
    May unfold me to him; there stand I in peril :
    No, he must die, be ât so, I hear him coming.
(Enter Cassio.)
RODERIGO. I know his gait , âtis he, villain, thou diest!
(Makes a pass at Cassio.)
CASSIO. That thrust had been my enemy indeed,
    But that my coat is better than thou thinkâst; [25]
    I will make proof of thine.
(Draws, and wounds Roderigo.)
RODERIGO. O, I am slain!
(Iago from behind wounds Cassio in the leg, and exit.)
CASSIO. I am maimâd for ever, light, ho, murder, murder!
(Falls.)
(Enter Othello.)
OTHELLO. The voice of Cassio, Iago keeps his word.
RODERIGO. O villain that I am!
OTHELLO. Hark, âtis even so.
CASSIO. O, help, ho! light! a surgeon! [30]
OTHELLO. âTis he, O brave Iago, honest and just,
    That hast such noble sense of thy friendâs wrong,
    Thou teachest me; ... minion , your dear lies dead,
    And your fate hie s apace ; strumpet, I come;
    Forth of my heart those charms, thine eyes, are blotted , [35]
    Thy bed, lust-stainâd, shall with lustâs blood be spotted.
(Exit.)
(Enter Lodovico and Gratiano.)
CASSIO. What ho, no watch, no passage? murder, murder!
GRATIANO. âTis some mischance , the cry is very direful .
CASSIO. O, help!
LODOVICO. Hark! [40]
RODERIGO. O wretched villain.
LO DOVICO. Two or three groan s ; it is a heavy night,
    These may be counterfeit s , letâs think ât unsafe
    To come into the cry without more help.
RODERIGO. Nobody come; then shall I bleed to death. [45]
(Enter Iago with a light.)
LODOVICO. Hark!
GRATIANO. Hereâs one comes in his shirt, with lights and weapons.
IAGO. Whoâs there? whose noise is this, that cries on murder?
LODOVICO. I do not know.
IAGO. Did not you hear a cry?
CASSIO. Here, here, for heavenâs sake help me!
IAGO. Whatâs the matter? [50]
GRATIANO. This is Othelloâs ancient, as I take it.
LODOVICO. The same indeed, a very valiant fellow.
IAGO. What are you here, that cry so grievously ?
CASSIO. Iago! O, I am spoilâd, undone by villains,
    Give me some help. [55]
IAGO. O, my lieutenant! what villains have done this?
CASSIO. I think the one of them is hereabout,
    And cannot make away.
IAGO. O treacherous villains!
    What are you there? come in and give some help.
(To Lodovico and Gratiano.)
RODERIGO. O, help me here! [60]
CASSIO. Thatâs one of âem.
IAGO. O murderous slave, O villain!
(Stabs Roderigo.)
RODERIGO. O damnâd Iago, O inhuman dog, ... oh, oh, oh.
IAGO. Kill him iâ the dark? Where be those bloody thieves?
    How silent is this town! Ho, murder, murder!
    What may you be, are you of good or evil? [65]
LODOVICO. As you shall prove us, praise us.
IAGO. Signior Lodovico?
LODOVICO. He, sir.
IAGO. I cry you mercy: hereâs Cassio hurt by villains.
GRATIAN O. Cassio! [70]
IAGO. How is it, brother?
CASSIO. My leg is cut in two.
IAGO. Marry, heaven forbid!
    Light, gentlemen, Iâll bind it with my shirt.
(Enter Bianca.)
BIANCA. What is the matter, ho? who is ât that cried?
IAGO. Who is ât that cried? [75]
BIANCA. O my dear Cassio, O my sweet
