You shall mark

Many a duteous and knee-crooking knave

That, doting on his own obsequious bondage,

Wears out his time, much like his master’s ass,

For naught but provender, and when he’s old, cashiered. (1.1.47-52)


Iago: For when my outward action doth demonstrate

The native act and figure of my heart

In complement extern, ’tis not long after

But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve

For daws to peck at. I am not what I am. (1.1.67-71)


Iago: Even now, now, very now, an old black ram

Is tupping your white ewe. (1.1.94-98)

And I loved her that she did pity them.

I do perceive here a divided duty. (1.3.208-09)


Desdemona: That I love the Moor to live with him

May trumpet to the world....

A moth of peace, and he go to the war,

The rites for why I love him are bereft me. (1.3.283-92)


Othello: No, when light-winged toys

Of feathered Cupid seel with wanton dullness

My speculative and officed instruments,

That my disports corrupt and taint my business,

Let housewives make a skillet of my helm. (1.3.303-07)


Duke: If virtue no delighted beauty lack,

Your son-in-law is far more fair than black. (1.3.330-31)

For I mine own gained knowledge should profane

If I would time expend with such a snipe

But for my sport and profit. (1.3.426-29)

And it is thought abroad that ’twixt my sheets

’Has done my office. (1.3.429-31)
