IAGO.  Thus do I ever make my fool my purse.  For I mine own gain'd knowledge should profane  If I would time expend with such a snipe  But for my sport and profit. I hate the Moor,  And it is thought abroad that 'twixt my sheets  He has done my office. I know not if 't be true,  But I, for mere suspicion in that kind,  Will do as if for surety. He holds me well,  The better shall my purpose work on him.  Cassio's a proper man. Let me see now,  To get his place, and to plume up my will  In double knavery. How, how? Let's see.  After some time, to abuse Othello's ear  That he is too familiar with his wife.  He hath a person and a smooth dispose,  To be suspected, fram'd to make women false.  The Moor is of a free and open nature  That thinks men honest that but seem to be so,  And will as tenderly be led by the nose  As asses are.  I have't. It is engender'd. Hell and night  Must bring this monstrous birth to the world's light.
