335.\u00a0 And what’s he then that says I play the villain?<\/span>
\n336.\u00a0 When this advice is free I give and honest,<\/span>
\n337.\u00a0 Probal to thinking and indeed the course<\/span>
\n338.\u00a0 To win the Moor again? For ’tis most easy<\/span>
\n339.\u00a0 The inclining Desdemona to subdue<\/span>
\n340.\u00a0 In any honest suit: she’s framed as fruitful<\/span>
\n341.\u00a0 As the free elements. And then for her<\/span>
\n342.\u00a0 To win the Moor–were’t to renounce his baptism,<\/span>
\n343.\u00a0 All seals and symbols of redeemed sin,<\/span>
\n344.\u00a0 His soul is so enfetter’d to her love,<\/span>
\n345.\u00a0 That she may make, unmake, do what she list,<\/span>
\n346.\u00a0 Even as her appetite shall play the god<\/span>
\n347.\u00a0 With his weak function. How am I then a villain<\/span>
\n348.\u00a0 To counsel Cassio to this parallel course,<\/span>
\n349.\u00a0 Directly to his good? Divinity of hell!<\/span>
\n350.\u00a0 When devils will the blackest sins put on,<\/span>
\n351.\u00a0 They do suggest at first with heavenly shows,<\/span>
\n352.\u00a0 As I do now: for whiles this honest fool<\/span>
\n353.\u00a0 Plies Desdemona to repair his fortunes<\/span>
\n354.\u00a0 And she for him pleads strongly to the Moor,<\/span>
\n355.\u00a0 I’ll pour this pestilence into his ear,<\/span>
\n356.\u00a0 That she repeals him for her body’s lust;<\/span>
\n357.\u00a0 And by how much she strives to do him good,<\/span>
\n358.\u00a0 She shall undo her credit with the Moor.<\/span>
\n359.\u00a0 So will I turn her virtue into pitch,<\/span>
\n360.\u00a0 And out of her own goodness make the net<\/span>
\n361.\u00a0 That shall enmesh them all.<\/span><\/p>\n
