Oh, that’s well
said—the chair!
Some good man bear him carefully from hence.
I’ll fetch the general’s
surgeon.—(to
BIANCA) For you, mistress,
Save you your labor.—He that lies slain here, Cassio,
Was my dear friend. What malice was between you?
|
Good—here’s the stretcher. Get somebody
strong to carry him out of here. I’ll get the
general’s surgeon. (to
BIANCA) As for you,
ma'am, don’t bother. The man lying here was my
dear friend, Roderigo.—What was the problem between
you?
|
|
CASSIO
None in the world, nor do I know the man.
|
CASSIO
There wasn’t any problem. I don’t even know
him.

|
IAGO
(to BIANCA)
What, look you pale?—Oh, bear him out o' the
air.—
|
IAGO
(to BIANCA) You’re pale?—Get Cassio out of
here.—You look awfully pale, Bianca.
|
CASSIO and
RODERIGO are borne off |
CASSIO and RODERIGO
are carried away. |

Do you perceive the gastness of her eye?—Stay you, good
gentlemen.—Look you pale, mistress?—
Nay, if you stare, we shall hear more anon.—
Behold her well. I pray you, look upon her.
Do you see, gentlemen? Nay, guiltiness
Will speak, though tongues were out of use.
|
Do you see how afraid she is? Watch her, we’ll get the
whole story. Keep an eye on her. Do you see? The guilty speak
volumes even when they’re silent.

EMILIA
What’s the matter? What’s the matter,
husband?

Cassio hath here been set on in the dark
By Roderigo and fellows that are ’scaped.
He’s almost slain, and Roderigo dead.

escaped. He’s near death, and Roderigo’s dead
already.

Oh, no, good gentleman! Oh no, good Cassio!

IAGO
This is the fruits of whoring. Prithee, Emilia,
Go know of Cassio where he supped tonight.—
(to BIANCA) What, do you shake at that?
|
IAGO
This is what happens when you visit whores. Please, Emilia, ask
Cassio where he was at dinner tonight.—(to BIANCA) What, does that make you nervous?
