Iago. Will you hear't again?
Cas. No; for I hold him to be unworthy of his place[5582]
that does those things. Well: God's above all; and[5583]
there be souls must be saved, and there be souls must[5584][5585]
not be saved.[5585] 95
Iago. It's true, good lieutenant.[5586]
Cas. For mine own part—no offence to the general, nor
any man of quality—I hope to be saved.
Iago. And so do I too, lieutenant.[5587]
Cas. Ay, but, by your leave, not before me; the lieutenant 100
is to be saved before the ancient. Let's have no[5588]
more of this; let's to our affairs. God forgive us our sins![5589]
Gentlemen, let's look to our business. Do not think, gentlemen,
I am drunk: this is my ancient: this is my right
hand, and this is my left. I am not drunk now; I can[5590] 105
stand well enough, and speak well enough.[5591]
All. Excellent well.[5592]
Cas. Why, very well then; you must not think then[5593]
that I am drunk. [Exit.[5594]
Mon. To the platform, masters; come, let's set the watch.[5595] 110
Iago. You see this fellow that is gone before;
He is a soldier fit to stand by Cæsar[5596]
And give direction: and do but see his vice;
'Tis to his virtue a just equinox,[5597]
The one as long as the other: 'tis pity of him. 115
I fear the trust Othello puts him in[5598]
On some odd time of his infirmity
Will shake this island.[5599]
