I never did
Offend you in my life; never loved Cassio
But with such general warranty of heaven
As I might love: I never gave him token.
– William Shakespeare
Othello, Act 5, Scene 2. Desdemona protests her innocence of infidelity, strongly denying Othello’s accusation that she has cheated on him with Cassio. She never gave Cassio her handkerchief nor did she ever love him, she insists.
