Scene I. A Sea-port in Morocco. An open place near the quay.

Enter IAGO and RODERIGO

IAGO

What can you see out of the ocean?

RODERIGO

Nothing at all: The water’s so rough that I can’t see any sails, either in the bay or on the ocean.

IAGO

If that the Turkish fleet isn’t protected in some harbor, their men must all be drowned. No ship could survive this storm !

CASSIO enters

CASSIO

News, lads! The war is over !

The desperate tempest hath so bang'd the Turks,

That their designment halts: a noble ship of Venice

Hath seen a grievous wreck and sufferance

On most part of their fleet.

I hope to God that Othello’s all right. I served under him, and I know what an excellent commander he is.

Trumpet within

That e'er our hearts shall make!

IAGO

[Aside] O, you are happy now!

But I'll ruin your happiness,

As honest as I am.

OTHELLO

Come, let us to the castle.

Good News, friends; our wars are done!

Desdemona, you shall be well desired in Morocco;

I have found great love amongst them.

I prithee, good Iago,

Go to the bay and disembark my coffers:

Come, Desdemona,

Once more, I’m
