Othello by William Shakespeare

The Tragedy of Othello the Moor of Venice

written by William Shakespeare

OTHELLO "Soft you, a word or two before you go.

I have done the state some service, and they know't.

No more of that. 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. Then must you speak

of one that loved not wisely but too well."

Act V Scene II
