[Falls in a trance.[6239][6242]
Iago. Work on,[6243]
My medicine, work! Thus credulous fools are caught;[6243][6244]
And many worthy and chaste dames even thus,[6243] 45
All guiltless, meet reproach. What, ho! my lord![6243]
My lord, I say! Othello![6243][6245]
Enter Cassio.
How now, Cassio!
Cas. What's the matter?
Iago. My lord is fall'n into an epilepsy:[6246]
This is his second fit; he had one yesterday.[6247] 50
Cas. Rub him about the temples.
Iago. No, forbear;[6248]
The lethargy must have his quiet course:[6249]
If not, he foams at mouth, and by and by
Breaks out to savage madness. Look, he stirs:[6250]
Do you withdraw yourself a little while, 55
He will recover straight: when he is gone,
I would on great occasion speak with you. [Exit Cassio.[6251]
How is it, general? have you not hurt your head?[6252]
Oth. Dost thou mock me?
Iago. I mock you! no, by heaven.[6253]
Would you would bear your fortune like a man![6254] 60
