145	EMILIA Pray heaven it be State matters, as you think, and no conception Nor no jealous toy concerning you.	EMILIA I hope to God it’s something political, like you think, and not jealousy involving you.
	DESDEMONA Alas the day! I never gave him cause.	DESDEMONA Oh no! I never gave him reason to be jealous.
150	EMILIA But jealous souls will not be answered so. They are not ever jealous for the cause, But jealous for they’re jealous. It is a monster Begot upon itself, born on itself.	EMILIA But jealous people don’t think like that. They’re never jealous for a reason; they’re just jealous. It’s like a monster that just grows and grows, out of nothing.
	DESDEMONA Heaven keep the monster from Othello’s mind!	DESDEMONA I hope God keeps that monster from growing in Othello’s mind!
	EMILIA Lady, amen.	EMILIA Amen to that, lady.
155	DESDEMONA I will go seek him.—Cassio, walk hereabout. If I do find him fit, I’ll move your suit And seek to effect it to my uttermost.	DESDEMONA I’ll go look for him—Cassio, stay around here. If he’s in a good mood I’ll mention you again, and do everything I can.
	CASSIO I humbly thank your ladyship.	CASSIO I thank you, lady.
