Iago is most honest. Michael, good night: to-morrow with your earliest Let me have speech with you. To Desdemona . Come, my dear love, The purchase made, the fruits are to ensue; That profit’s yet to come ’tween me and you. Good night. Exeunt Othello , Desdemona , and Attendants.

If I can fasten but one cup upon him, With that which he hath drunk to-night already, He’ll be as full of quarrel and offence As my young mistress’ dog.

Some wine, ho!
