And may: but, how? how satisfied, my lord? Would you, the supervisor, grossly gape onā ā Behold her toppād?
It were a tedious difficulty, I think, To bring them to that prospect: damn them then, If ever mortal eyes do see them bolster More than their own! What then? how then? What shall I say? Whereās satisfaction? It is impossible you should see this, Were they as prime as goats, as hot as monkeys, As salt as wolves in pride, and fools as gross As ignorance made drunk. But yet, I say, If imputation and strong circumstances, Which lead directly to the door of truth, Will give you satisfaction, you may haveāt.
I do not like the office: But, sith I am enterād in this cause so far, Prickād toāt by foolish honesty and love, I will go on. I lay with Cassio lately; And, being troubled with a raging tooth, I could not sleep. There are a kind of men so loose of soul, That in their sleeps will mutter their affairs: One of this kind is Cassio: In sleep I heard him say āSweet Desdemona, Let us be wary, let us hide our loves;ā And then, sir, would he gripe and wring my hand, Cry āO sweet creature!ā and then kiss me hard, As if he pluckād up kisses by the roots That grew upon my lips: then laid his leg Over my thigh, and sighād, and kissād; and then Cried āCursed fate that gave thee to the Moor!ā
But this denoted a foregone conclusion: āTis a shrewd doubt, though it be but a dream.
And this may help to thicken other proofs That do demonstrate thinly.
