"Good madam ...—Gertrude, Gertrude, do not drink."

This repetition of the name, which is required by the metre, adds, I think, much energy. The name is repeated in the same manner in iv. 5.


"As thou'rt a man!...

Give me the cup; let go; by Heaven I'll have it."

This appears to me to be the true punctuation.


OTHELLO.

Act I.
