Brabantio
did you by indirect and forced courses
subdue and poison this young maiden’s affections?
send of the lady (….) let her
if you do find me foul in her report (….)
speak of e before her father
let your sentence even fall upon my life
she gave me for my pain
a world of sighs
she loved me for the dangers I had passed,
and I loved her, that she did pity them
often did beguile her of tears
charm tears from her
when I did speak of some distressed stroke
I do perceive here
a divided duty
that I did love the Moor to live with him,
my downright violence and storm of fortunes may trumpet to the world
(she rushes into marriage with Othello to show the world she loves him)
vouch with me heaven, I therefore beg it not
to please the palate of my appetite
if virtue no delighted beauty lack
if virtue is in itself charming and beautiful
your son-in-law is far more fair than black
look to her Moor, if thou hast eyes to see
she has deceived her father, and may thee
we must obey
the time
-saying this to Desdemona before he leaves for Cyprus
these Moors are
changeable in their wills
warlike

Cassio to Emilia
would she give you so much of her lips as her
tongue she oft bestows on me, you would have enough
players in your housewifery,
players- deceivers
and housewives in your beds
women are only acting when they do housework, and really go to work in bed
