An
honourable murderer, if you will;
For nought I did in hate, but all in honour. Othello, 5. 2
I
have done the state some service, and they know 't.
No more of that. I pray you, in your letters,
When you shall these unlucky deeds relate,
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice. Then, must you speak
Of one that loved not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but being wrought
Perplexed in the extreme; of one whose hand,
Like the base Indian, threw a pearl away
Richer than all his tribe. Othello, 5. 2
Set
you down this;
And say besides, that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turbaned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by the throat the circumcised dog,
And smote him, thus. Julius Caesar, 2. 1
I
kissed thee ere I killed thee: no way but this;
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss. Julius Caesar, 2. 1
