O the pernicious caitisf!- How came you, Cassio, by that handkerchief That was my wife's? Cas. I found it in my chamber: Oth. Behold! I have a weapon; And he himself confess'd, but even now, A better never did itself sustain That there he dropp'd it, for a special purpose, Upon a soldier's thigh ; I have seen the day, Which wrought to his desire. That, with this little arm, and this good sword, Oth. O fool! fool! fool! I have made my way through more impediments, Cas.
