OTHELLO.  Why, why is this?  Think'st thou I'd make a life of jealousy,  To follow still the changes of the moon  With fresh suspicions? No. To be once in doubt  Is once to be resolv'd: exchange me for a goat  When I shall turn the business of my soul  To such exsufflicate and blown surmises,  Matching thy inference. 'Tis not to make me jealous,  To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company,  Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances well;  Where virtue is, these are more virtuous:  Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw  The smallest fear or doubt of her revolt,  For she had eyes, and chose me. No, Iago,  I'll see before I doubt; when I doubt, prove;  And on the proof, there is no more but this:  Away at once with love or jealousy!.
