IAGO
She that was ever fair and never proud, 163
Had tongue at will and yet was never loud, 164
Never lacked gold and yet went never gay, 165
Fled from her wish, and yet said “Now I may,” 166
She that being angered, her revenge being nigh, 167
Bade her wrong stay and her displeasure fly, 168
She that in wisdom never was so frail 169
To change the cod’s head for the salmon’s tail, 170
She that could think and ne’er disclose her mind, 171
[See suitors following and not look behind,] 172
She was a wight, if ever such ⟨wight⟩ were—173
DESDEMONA
To do what? 174
IAGO
To suckle fools and chronicle small beer. 175
