90	OTHELLO What if I do obey? How may the Duke be therewith satisfied, Whose messengers are here about my side Upon some present business of the state To bring me to him?	OTHELLO What if I do what you say? How would I satisfy the Duke then? His messengers are waiting here to take me to him immediately, on pressing state business.
95	OFFICER 'Tis true, most worthy signior. The Duke’s in council and your noble self, I am sure, is sent for.	OFFICER It’s true. The Duke’s in a meeting right now, and he’s sent for you too.
100	BRABANTIO How? The Duke in council? In this time of the night? Bring him away. Mine’s not an idle cause. The Duke himself, Or any of my brothers of the state, Cannot but feel this wrong as ’twere their own. For if such actions may have passage free, Bond-slaves and pagans shall our statesmen be.	BRABANTIO The Duke’s in a meeting? At this time of night? Bring him with us. The law’s on my side. The Duke and any of my fellow senators will take this wrong as seriously as if it were their own. If we let crimes like this happen, slaves and heathens will be our rulers.
	Exeunt	They all exit.
