But for all the whole world! For pity’s sake, who wouldn’t make her husband a cuckold to make him a monarch? I would risk purgatory for it.’ But seriously, I wouldn’t do such a thing for a ring, or property, or dresses or petticoats, nor hats, nor any objects of vanity. ‘I think I would, and immediately undo it. ‘The world’s a huge thing: it’s a great price for such a small vice.’ ‘But would you do such a thing for all the world?’ ‘Would you do such a thing for all the world?’ Oh these men, these men! Do you really think – tell me Emilia – are there women who abuse their husbands in that terrible way?’ ‘It’s neither here nor there,’ said Emilia. If I court more women, you’ll couch with more men So go now. ‘I called my love false love, but what said he then? Let no-body blame him his scorn I approve – No, that doesn’t come next. ‘Put this away,’ she said and returned to her singing: ‘Sing willow, willow, willow… Hurry up he’ll be here soon – Sing all a green willow, must be my garland. Her salt tears fell from her and softened the stones – ‘ She stepped out of her dress. The fresh streams ran by her and murmured her moans Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee, ‘The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree, ‘I know a lady in Venice who would have walked barefoot to Palestine for a kiss from him,’ said Emilia.ĭesdemona hummed softly then began to sing: ‘Lodovico’s an attractive man,’ she said. ‘No, unpin me here.’ She stood still as Emilia unpinned her dress. I just feel like going and hanging my head down and singing it, like poor Barbary. I can’t get that song out of my mind tonight. She had a song about a willow, an old song, it was, and she died singing it. ‘My mother had a maid called Barbary.’ ‘She was in love, and the man she loved proved to be mad, and forsook her. ‘What kind of talk is that?’ She began undressing her mistress.ĭesdemona sighed. It’s funny how foolish we are! If I die before you, please shroud me in one of these sheets.’ ‘I’ve put those wedding sheets on the bed.’ ‘And I don’t! I love him so much that even his stubbornness, his reprimands, his frowns – just unpin me – appeal to me.’ We mustn’t do anything to displease him now.’ Therefore, good Emilia, get me my night dress and goodnight. He’s told me to go to bed, and told me to dismiss you.’ ‘He looks gentler than he did.’ĭesdemona smiled sadly. She had seen Othello and Lodovico leaving, Othello smiling graciously with his guest. Make sure you do it.’Įmilia was waiting for her in the bedroom. They started walking, then Othello turned. Othello placed his hand on Lodovico’s back. ‘Don’t trouble yourself any further with me.’ Lodovico thanked Othello and was about to say goodnight when Othello invited him to take a walk on the battlements.
