Scene III

The garden of the castle.

Be thou assured, good Cassio, I will do All my abilities in thy behalf.

Good madam, do: I warrant it grieves my husband, As if the case were his.

O, that’s an honest fellow. Do not doubt, Cassio, But I will have my lord and you again As friendly as you were.

Bounteous madam, Whatever shall become of Michael Cassio, He’s never any thing but your true servant.

I know’t; I thank you. You do love my lord: You have known him long; and be you well assured He shall in strangeness stand no further off Than in a polite distance.
