Othello.

V. 2.

[Dies.

Killing myself to die upon a kiss.
Cas. This did I fear, but thought he had no weapon;
For he was great of heart.

Lod.
O Spartan dog,
More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea!
Look on the tragic loading of this bed;
This is thy work: the object poisons sight;
Let it be hid. Gratiano, keep the house,
And seize upon the fortunes of the Moor,
For they succeed to you. Το you, lord
Remains the censure of this hellish viliain,
The time, the place, the torture: O, enforce it!
Myself will straight aboard, and to the state
This heavy act with heavy heart relate.
