QUOTES FROM THE BARD

It is now high suppertime, and the night grows to waste

PLAY: Othello ACT/SCENE: 4.2 SPEAKER: Iago CONTEXT: RODERIGO
And that you would have me to do!
IAGO
Ay, if you dare do yourself a profit and a right. He
sups tonight with a harlotry, and thither will I go to
him. He knows not yet of his honourable fortune. If you
will watch his going thence (which I will fashion to
fall out between twelve and one) you may take him at
your pleasure. I will be near to second your attempt,
and he shall fall between us. Come, stand not amazed at
it, but go along with me. I will show you such a
necessity in his death that you shall think yourself
bound to put it on him. It is now high suppertime, and
the night grows to waste. About it!
RODERIGO
I will hear further reason for this.
IAGO
And you shall be satisfied. DUTCH: Ja, als gij den moed hebt om uzelven voordeel te verschaffen en
recht. Hij eet van avond bij een lichtekooi, en daar zal ik bij hem komen; hij weet nog niets van zijn eervol geluk
