In the preceding scene, talking with Roderigo, he asks:—

"Is there not charms

By which the property of youth and maidhood

May be abused? Have you not heard, Roderigo,

Of some such thing?"

And Roderigo replies: "Yes, sir, I have indeed." When Othello afterward tells how he had gained the maiden's love, he says in conclusion:—

"She loved me for the dangers I had pass'd,

And I loved her that she did pity them.

This only is the witchcraft I have used."
