Good Michael, keep a careful eye on the guards tonight.
Let's exercise restraint and not let the party get too
wild.
CASSIO
Iago hath direction what to do,

But notwithstanding with my personal eye
Will I look to 't.
CASSIO
Iago has orders what to do. But I'll see to it
personally anyway.
OTHELLO
Iago is most
honest.
Michael, good night. Tomorrow with your earliest
Let me have speech with you.—
Come, my dear love,

The purchase made, the fruits are to ensue:
That profit's yet to come 'tween me and you.
Good night.
OTHELLO
Iago's a good man. Goodnight, Michael. Come talk to me
tomorrow as early as you can.—Come with me, my dear love.
Now that the wedding's over, we can have the pleasure of
consummating our marriage. Good night, everyone.

OTHELLO and
DESDEMONA exit with their

Enter IAGO
IAGO enters.
CASSIO
Welcome, Iago. We must to the watch.
CASSIO
Hello, Iago. It's time for us to stand guard.
IAGO
Not this hour, lieutenant, 'tis not yet ten
o' the clock. Our general cast us thus early for the love
of his Desdemona—who let us not therefore blame. He hath
not yet made wanton the night with her, and she is sport for
Jove.
IAGO
Not yet, lieutenant. It's not even ten
o'clock. The general got rid of us early tonight so he
could be with Desdemona.—I can't blame him. He
hasn't spent the night with her yet, and she's
beautiful enough to be Jove's
lover.
