OTHELLO.  I had been happy if the general camp,  Pioners and all, had tasted her sweet body,  So I had nothing known. O, now, for ever  Farewell the tranquil mind! Farewell content!  Farewell the plumed troops and the big wars  That make ambition virtue! O, farewell,  Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,  The spirit-stirring drum, the ear-piercing fife,  The royal banner, and all quality,  Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!  And, O you mortal engines, whose rude throats  The immortal Jove's dread clamours counterfeit,  Farewell! Othello's occupation's gone!.
