Iago
- Iago: Oh beware, my lord, of jealousy. It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on.
- Iago: I know our country disposition well. In Venice they do let heaven see the pranks they dare not show their husbands. Their best conscience is not to leave 't undone, but keep't unknown.
- Iago: Where's satisfaction? It is impossible you should see this, were they as prime as goats, as hot as monkeys.
- Iago: I lay with Cassio lately and, being troubled with a raging tooth, I could not sleep. There are a kind of men so loose of soul that in their sleep will mutter their affairs. One of this kind is Cassio. In sleep I heard him say "Sweet Desdemona, Let us be wary, let us hide our loves." And then, sir, would he gripe and wring my hand, cry "O sweet creature!" and then kiss me hard as if he plucked up kisses by the roots that grew upon my lips. Then, laid his leg over my thigh, and sighed, and kissed, and then cried "Cursed fate that gave thee to the Moor!"
- Iago: Our general cast us thus early for the love of his Desdemona. He hath not yet made wanton the night with her, and she is sport for Jove.
- Cassio: She's a most exquisite lady.
- Iago: And, full of game, I warrant. What an eye she has - to provocation.
- Cassio: I and yet I think right modest.
- Iago: Well, happiness to their sheets.
