Enter a Herald6 note, with a Proclamation; People following.
Her.
It is Othello's pleasure, our noble and valiant
general, that upon certain tidings now arrived, importing
the mere 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
addiction leads him7 note; for, besides these 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 feasting8 note, from this present
hour of five, till the bell hath told eleven. Heaven
bless the isle of Cyprus, and our noble general, Othello!
