Othello
[II, 1]

Montano

801

Pray heavens he be;
For I have served him, and the man commands
Like a full soldier. Let's to the seaside, ho!
As well to see the vessel that's come in
As to throw out our eyes for brave Othello,
Even till we make the main and the aerial blue
An indistinct regard.

Cassio

He speaks home, madam: You may relish him more in
the soldier than in the scholar.

Montano

Good faith, a little one; not past a pint, as I am
a soldier.

Iago

Some wine, ho!
[Sings]
And let me the canakin clink, clink;
And let me the canakin clink
A soldier's a man;
A life's but a span;
Why, then, let a soldier drink.
Some wine, boys!

Othello
[II, 3]

Iago

1251

You see this fellow that is gone before;
He is a soldier fit to stand by Caesar
And give direction: and do but see his vice;
'Tis to his virtue a just equinox,
The one as long as the other: 'tis pity of him.
I fear the trust Othello puts him in.
On some odd time of his infirmity,
Will shake this island.

Montano

1366

If partially affined, or leagued in office,
Thou dost deliver more or less than truth,
Thou art no soldier.

[III, 4]

Clown

He's a soldier, and for one to say a soldier lies,
is stabbing.
