Oth. Soft you, a word or two,

I haue done the ftate fome feruice, and they know't;
No more of that: I pray you in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deedes relate,
Speake of them as they are §; nothing extenuate,
Nor fet downe ought in malice, then muft you fpeake,
Of one that lou'd not wifely, but too well:
Of one not easily iealous, but being wrought,
Perplext in the extreame; of one whofe hand,
Like the bafe Indian, threw a pearle away,
Richer then all his tribe: of one whose subdued eyes,
Albeit vnufed to the melting moode,

Drops teares as fast as the Arabian trees,

Their medicinall gum; fet you downe this,
And fay befides, that in Aleppo once,

1

Where a malignant and a turband Turke,

Beate a Venetian, and traduc'd the state;

I took bi'th throate the circumcifed dog,
And fmote him thus.

Lod. O bloody period.

Gra. All that's fpoke is 'mard.

He ftabs himfelfe.

Oth. I kift thee ere I kild thee, no way but this,

Killing my felfe, to die vpon a kiffe.

He dies.

Caf. This did I feare, but thought he had no weapon,

For he was great of heart.

Lod. O Spartane dog,

More fell then anguish, hunger, or the fea,

Looke on the tragicke lodging of this bed:

This is thy worke, the obiect poisons fight,

§ me as I am.

you must.

Let

Let it be hid: Gratiano, keepe the house,
And ceaze vpon the fortunes of the Moore:
For they fucceed to you, to you lord gouernour,
Remaines the cenfure of this hellish villaine,
The time, the place, the torture: O inforce it,
My felfe will straite aboord, and to the state,
This heauy act with heauy heart relate.

Exeunt omnes.
