hamlet speak; i am bound to hear.
ghost so art thou to revenge, when thou shalt hear
hamlet what?
ghost i am thy father's spirit,
doom'd for a certain term to walk the night, 10
and for the day confined to fast in fires,
till the foul crimes done in my days of nature
are burnt and purged away. but that i am forbid
to tell the secrets of my prison-house,
i could a tale unfold whose lightest word
would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres,
thy knotted and combined locks to part
and each particular hair to stand on end,
like quills upon the fretful porpentine: 20
but this eternal blazon must not be
to ears of flesh and blood. list, list, o, list!
if thou didst ever thy dear father love--
hamlet o god!
ghost revenge his foul and most unnatural murder.
hamlet murder!
ghost murder most foul, as in the best it is;
but this most foul, strange and unnatural.
hamlet haste me to know't, that i, with wings as swift
as meditation or the thoughts of love 30
may sweep to my revenge.
ghost i find thee apt;
and duller shouldst thou be than the fat weed
that roots itself in ease on lethe wharf,
wouldst thou not stir in this. now, hamlet, hear:
'tis given out that, sleeping in my orchard,
a serpent stung me; so the whole ear of denmark
is by a forged process of my death
rankly abused: but know, thou noble youth,
the serpent that did sting thy father's life
now wears his crown.
hamlet o my prophetic soul! my uncle!

answer:   a good wench, give it me.

iago

good girl, give it to me.

emilia

what will you do with ’t, that you have been so earnest

325to have me filch it?

emilia

and what are you going to do with it? why did you want it so much that you begged me to steal it?

iago

  why, what is that to you?

iago

what’s it to you?

emilia

if it be not for some purpose of import,

give ’t me again. poor lady, she’ll run mad

when she shall lack it.

emilia

if you don’t need it for some important reason, then give it back to me. poor lady, she’ll go crazy when she sees it’s missing.

iago

be not acknown on ’t,

330i have use for it. go, leave me.

iago

don’t admit to knowing anything about it. i need it. now go, leave me.

exit emilia

emilia exits.

i will in cassio’s lodging lose this napkin

and let him find it. trifles light as air

are to the jealous confirmations strong

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

335the moor already changes with my poison.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.

enter othello

othello enters.

    i did say so.

340look, where he comes. not poppy nor mandragora

nor all the drowsy syrups of the world,

shall ever medicine thee to that sweet sleep

which thou owedst yesterday.

here he comes. no drugs or sleeping pills will ever give you the restful sleep that you had last night.

othello

    ha! ha! false to me?

othello

argh! she’s cheating on me?

iago

why, how now, general? no more of that.

iago

oh, general, , no more of that!
