ACT IV IT
Scene I IT
The same.
Enter Iago and Othello.
IAGO
Will you think so?
OTHELLO
Think so, Iago?
IAGO
What,
To kiss in private?
OTHELLO
An unauthoriz’d kiss.
IAGO
Or to be naked with her friend abed,
An hour, or more, not meaning any harm?
OTHELLO
Naked abed, Iago, and not mean harm? [5]
It is hypocrisy against the devil:
They that mean virtuously, and yet do so,
The devil their virtue tempts, and they tempt heaven.
IAGO
So they do nothing, ’tis a venial slip;
But if I give my wife a handkerchief − [10]
