Nothing, my lord, or if − I know not what.

OTHELLO
Was not that Cassio parted from my wife?

IAGO
Cassio, my lord?... no, sure, I cannot think it,
That he would sneak away so guilty-like, [40]
Seeing you coming.

OTHELLO
I do believe ’twas he.

DESDEMONA
How now, my lord?
I have been talking with a suitor here,
A man that languishes in your displeasure.

OTHELLO
Who is’t you mean? [45]

DESDEMONA
Why, your lieutenant, Cassio, good my lord,

If I have any grace or power to move you,
His present reconciliation take:
For if he be not one that truly loves you,
That errs in ignorance, and not in cunning, [50]

I have no judgement in an honest face,
I prithee call him back.

OTHELLO
Went he hence now?

DESDEMONA
Yes, faith, so humbled,
That he has left part of his griefs with me,

I suffer with him; good love, call him back. [55]
