Act II, Scene ii:
A street.

[Enter a Herald with a proclamation; People following.]

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.]
