| HERALD: |
| It is Othello's pleasure, our noble and valiant general, |
| that upon certain tidings now arrived, importing the mere |
| perdition of the Turkish fleet, every man put himself into |
| triumph; some to dance, some to make bonfires, each man to |
| what sport and revels his addiction leads him: for, besides these |
| beneficial news, it is the celebration of his nuptial:—so |
| much was his pleasure should be proclaimed. All offices are open; |
| and there is full liberty of feasting from this present hour of |
| five till the bell have told eleven. Heaven bless the isle of |
| Cyprus and our noble general Othello! |
| [Exeunt.] |
