Original Text

Modern Text




CASSIO
I do attend here on the general
And think it no addition, nor my wish,
To have him see me womaned.
CASSIO
I’m waiting here for the general, and I don’t want him to see me with a woman.

BIANCA
      Why, I pray you?
BIANCA
And why’s that?

185
CASSIO
Not that I love you not.
CASSIO
It’s not because I don’t love you.



BIANCA
    But that you do not love me.
I pray you bring me on the way a little
And say if I shall see you soon at night.
BIANCA
But you don’t love me. Please, just walk with me a little ways, and tell me if I’ll see you later tonight.


CASSIO
'Tis but a little way that I can bring you,
For I attend here. But I’ll see you soon.
CASSIO
I can only walk a little way with you, since I’m waiting here. But I’ll see you soon.

190
BIANCA
'Tis very good. I must be circumstanced.
BIANCA
All right, have it your way. I have to make do.
Exeunt
They exit.
