Her.
It is Othello's pleasure, our noble and valiant
General, that upon certain tidings now arriv'd,
importing the meer perdition of the Turkish fleet, every
-- 414 --
man put himself into triumph: some to dance, some to
make bonefires, each man to what sport and revels his
mind leads him. For, besides this beneficial news, it is
the celebration of his nuptials. So much was his pleasure,
should be proclaimed. All offices are open, and there is
full liberty of feasting, from this present hour of five,
'till the bell have told eleven. Bless the isle of Cyprus,
and our noble General Othello!
