Othello Act 4 Scene 1 lyrics

SCENE I. Cyprus. Before the castle.

Enter OTHELLO and IAGO

IAGO
Will you think so?

OTHELLO
Think so, Iago!

IAGO
What,
To kiss in private?

OTHELLO
An unauthorized kiss.

IAGO
Or to be naked with her friend in bed
An hour or more, not meaning any harm?

OTHELLO
Naked in bed, Iago, and not mean harm!
It is hypocrisy against the devil:
They that mean virtuously, and yet do so,
The devil their virtue tempts, and they tempt heaven.
