restitution
Now, whether he kill Cassio,
Or Cassio him, or each do kill the other, Every way makes my gain. Live Roderigo, He calls me to a restitution large Of gold and jewels that I bobbed from him As gifts to Desdemona.

gait. ’Tis he!—Villain, thou diest!

quench thee, thou flaming minister,
I can again thy former light restore Should I repent me.

balmy breath, that dost almost persuade
Justice to break her sword!

If you bethink yourself of any crime
Unreconciled as yet to heaven and grace, Solicit for it straight.
portent
That death’s unnatural that kills for loving.
Alas, why gnaw you so your nether lip? Some bloody passion shakes your very frame. These are portents, but yet I hope, I hope They do not point on me.
perjury
Sweet soul, take heed, take heed of
perjury.
Thou art on thy deathbed.

But that I did proceed upon just grounds To this extremity.

Cassio confessed it,
And she did gratify his amorous works With that recognizance and pledge of love Which I first gave her.

Will you, I pray, demand that demi-devil
Why he hath thus ensnared my soul and body?
interim
Now here’s another discontented paper
Found in his pocket, too; and this it seems Roderigo meant t’ have sent this damnèd villain, But that, belike, Iago in the interim Came in and satisfied him.

There is besides, in Roderigo’s letter,
How he upbraids Iago, that he made him Brave me upon the watch, whereon it came That I was cast.

I pray you in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate, Speak of me as I am. Nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice.
