general will forget my love and service.
DESDEMONA (touches CASSIO’S hand comfortingly)
If I do vow a friendship, I’ll perform it
To the last article: my lord shall never rest;
I’ll watch him tame, and talk him out of patience.
EMILIA
Madam, here comes my lord.
CASSIO
Madam, I’ll take my leave.
Exit CASSIO stage right.
Enter OTHELLO and IAGO from stage rear; IAGO stands to OTHELLO’S right.
IAGO

OTHELLO
