Though other things grow fair against the sun,
Yet fruits that blossom first will first be ripe.
Content thyself awhile.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 2, Scene 3. Using a metaphor of blossoming fruit, Iago promises Roderigo that they will have the fruits of their endeavors. He is urging an angry Roderigo to be patient in his desire to win Desdemona and good things will come.
