I was (unhandsome warrior as I am)
Arraigning his unkindness with my soul; [150]
But now I find I had suborn’d the witness,
And he’s indicted falsely.

EMILIA
Pray heaven it be state-matters, as you think,

And no conception, nor no jealous toy
Concerning you. [155]

DESDEMONA
Alas the day, I never game him cause!

EMILIA
But jealous souls will not be answer’d so;

They are not ever jealous for the cause,
But jealous for they are jealous: ’tis a monster,
Begot upon itself, born on itself. [160]

DESDEMONA
Heaven keep that monster from Othello’s mind!

EMILIA
Lady, amen.

DESDEMONA
I will go seek him, Cassio, walk hereabout,

If I do find him fit, I’ll move your suit,
And seek to effect it to my uttermost. [165]

CASSIO
I humbly thank your ladyship.
Exeunt Desdemona and Emilia.

Enter Bianca.
