Bra. O heaven! How got she out? O treason of the blood![4998]
Fathers, from hence trust not your daughters' minds 170
By what you see them act. Is there not charms[4999]
By which the property of youth and maidhood[5000]
May be abused? Have you not read, Roderigo,
Of some such thing?
Rod. Yes, sir, I have indeed.[5001]
Bra. Call up my brother. O, would you had had her![5002] 175
Some one way, some another. Do you know
Where we may apprehend her and the Moor?
Rod. I think I can discover him, if you please
To get good guard and go along with me.
Bra. Pray you, lead on. At every house I'll call;[5003] 180
I may command at most. Get weapons, ho!
And raise some special officers of night.[5004]
On, good Roderigo; I'll deserve your pains. [Exeunt.[5005]
Scene II. Another street.
Enter Othello, Iago, and Attendants with torches.[5006]
Iago. Though in the trade of war I have slain men,
Yet do I hold it very stuff o' the conscience[5007]
To do no contrived murder: I lack iniquity[5008]
Sometimes to do me service: nine or ten times[5009]
I had thought to have yerk'd him here under the ribs.[5010] 5
Oth. 'Tis better as it is.[5011]
Iago. Nay, but he prated
And spoke such scurvy and provoking terms[5012]
Against your honour,[8, 9]
That, with the little godliness I have,[5013]
I did full hard forbear him. But I pray you, sir,[5014] 10
Are you fast married? Be assured of this,[5015]
That the magnifico is much beloved,
And hath in his effect a voice potential
As double as the duke's: he will divorce you,[5016]
Or put upon you what restraint and grievance[5017] 15
The law, with all his might to enforce it on,[5018]
Will give him cable.[5019]
