Quick, quick, fear| nothing;| I'll be at thy |
elbow,

And yet | he hath given | me sat|isfy|ing
reasons:

'Tis but a | man gone. Forth,| my sword:| he
dies.
IAGO
2 , ,
, , ,
I have rubbed | this young | quat al/most to |
the sense,

And he grows | angry.| Now, whether | he kill |
Cassio,

Eve|ry way* makes | my gain.| Live Rod|erigo,

He calls | me to | a rest|itu|tion large
, ,
, ,
,
Of gold,| and jew|els, that | I bobbed | from him,
, ,
,
As gifts | to Des|demo|na. \\
, ,

That makes | me ug|ly: and | besides,| the Moor
2 ,
x ,
, x
May unfold | me to him:| there* stand | I in / much peril:

No, he must | die. But | so, I | hear him |
coming.
[Enter CASSIO]
RODERIGO
, , ,
, ,
I know | his gait,| 'tis he:| Villain | thou
diest.
CASSIO
, ,
, , ,
That thrust | had been | mine^en|emy | indeed,
,
, ,
, ,
But that | my coat | is bet|ter than | thou knowst:
, ,

I will | make proof | of thine.
RODERIGO

Oh, I | am slain.
CASSIO
I am maimed forever:
Help ho: murder, murder.

T T T 2

And your / unblessed | fate hies: strump|et I
come:
