And say besides,—that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turban’d Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduc’d the state,
I took by the throat the circumcisèd dog
And smote him—thus.
[Stabs himself.]
LODOVICO
O bloody period!
GRATIANO
All that’s spoke is marr’d.
OTHELLO
I kiss’d thee ere I kill’d thee:—no way but this,
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. [Falling upon Desdemona.]
CASSIO
This did I fear, but thought he had no weapon;
For he was great of heart.
LODOVICO
[To Iago.] O Spartan dog,
More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea!
Look on the tragic loading of this bed;
This is thy work:—the object poisons sight;
Let it be hid.—Gratiano, keep the house,
And seize upon the fortunes of the Moor,
For they succeed on you.—To you, lord governor,
Remains the censure of this hellish villain;
The time, the place, the torture,—O, enforce it!
Myself will straight aboard; and to the state
This heavy act with heavy heart relate.
[Exeunt.]
