Enter Herald with a Proclamation.
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 man put himself into triumph, some to
dance, some to make bonfires, 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!
