Act III

Othello
O monstrous! monstrous!
Iago
Nay, this was but his dream.
Othello
But this denoted a foregone conclusion:
’Tis a shrewd doubt, though it be but a dream.
Iago
And this may help to thicken other proofs
That do demonstrate thinly.
Othello
I’ll tear her all to pieces.
Iago
Nay, but be wise: yet we see nothing done;
She may be honest yet. Tell me but this,
Have you not sometimes seen a handkerchief
Spotted with strawberries in your wife’s hand?
Othello
I gave her such a one; ’twas my first gift.
