the valiant Moor.
First senator plus duke
, we must straight employ you
Against the general enemy Ottoman—
DUKE
Is of so flood-gate and o’erbearing nature
That it
engluts and swallows other sorrows
Barbantio
She is abused, stol’n from me, and corrupted
By spells and medicines bought of mountebanks.
**Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors,
My very noble and approved good masters,
That I have ta’en away this old man’s daughter,
It is most true. True, I have married her.
Rude am I in my speech,
And little blessed with the soft phrase of peace,
For since these arms of mine had seven years’ pith
Till now some nine moons wasted,
they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
Yet, by your gracious patience,
I will a round unvarnished tale deliver
Of my whole course of love.
What drugs, what charms,
What conjuration and what mighty magic—
/I won his daughter.
A maiden never bold,
Of spirit so still and quiet that her motion
Blushed at herself
To fall in love with what
she feared to look on?
Against all rules of nature,
roderigo talking ab the marriage
let her speak o
of me before her father.
Her father loved me,
oft invited me,
Of hair-breadth ’scapes i’ th’ imminent deadly breach,
Of being taken by the insolent foe
And sold to slavery,
