Othello.
I had been happy if a crowded house,
Critics and all, had seen me in the Bells,
Or Hamlet—but the Moor! O, now for ever
Farewell the tranquil mind! Farewell content!
Farewell the ringing cheer, the loud “brayvo”
That echoed from Olympus! O, farewell
To the young “gusher” of the Semaphore,
Who oft such “civil service” did to me;
To the loud Thunderer—to the shrilly trump
