1460:\u00a0 And what’s he then,
\n1461:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>That saies I play the Villaine?
\n1462:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>When this aduise is free I giue, and honest,
\n1463:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Proball to thinking, and indeed the course
\n1464:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>To win the Moore againe.
\n1465:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>For ’tis most easie
\n1466:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Th’ inclyning\u00a0Desdemona<\/i>\u00a0to subdue
\n1467:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>In any honest Suite. She’s fram’d as fruitefull
\n1468:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>As the free Elements. And then for her
\n1469:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>To win the Moore, were to renownce his Baptisme,
\n1470:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>All Seales, and Simbols of redeemed sin:
\n1471:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>His Soule is so enfetter’d to her Loue,
\n1472:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>That she may make, vnmake, do what she list,
\n1473:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Euen as her Appetite shall play the God,
\n1474:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>With his weake Function. How am I then a Villaine,
\n1475:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>To Counsell\u00a0Cassio<\/i>\u00a0to this paralell course,
\n1476:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Directly to his good? Diuinitie of hell,
\n1477:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>When diuels will the blackest sinnes put on,
\n1478:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>They do suggest at first with heauenly shewes,
\n1479:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>As I do now. For whiles this honest Foole
\n1480:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Plies\u00a0Desdemona<\/i>, to repaire his Fortune,
\n1481:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>And she for him, pleades strongly to the Moore,
\n1482:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>Ile powre this pestilence into his eare:
\n1483:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>That she repeales him, for her bodies Lust,
\n1484:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>And by how much she striues to do him good,
\n1485:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>She shall vndo her Credite with the Moore.
\n1486:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>So will I turne her vertue into pitch.
\n1487:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>And out of her owne goodnesse make the Net,
\n1488:\u00a0\u00a0<\/i>That shall en-mash them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
