Stabs himself.

LODOVICO:

O bloody period!

LODOVICO:

O bloody period!

GRATIANO:

All that's spoke is marr'd.

GRATIANO:

All that's spoken is marred.

OTHELLO:

I kiss'd thee ere I kill'd thee. No way but this,
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.

OTHELLO:

I kissed you before I killed you. No way but this,
Killing myself, to die on a kiss.

He dies.

CASSIO:

This did I fear, but thought he had no weapon;(410)
For he was great of heart.

CASSIO:

I was afraid of this, but I thought he had no weapon;
He was great of heart.

LODOVICO:

O Spartan dog,
More fell than anguish, hunger, or the sea!
Look on the tragic loading of this bed;
This is thy work. The object poisons sight;(415)
Let it be hid. Gratiano, keep the house,
And seize upon the fortunes of the Moor,
For they succeed on you. To you, Lord Governor,
Remains the censure of this hellish villain,
The time, the place, the torture. O, enforce it!(420)
Myself will straight aboard, and to the state
This heavy act with heavy heart relate.

LODOVICO:

O Spartan dog,
More evil than anguish, hunger, or the sea!
Look on the tragic load on this bed;
This is your work. The object of poison’s sight;
Let it be hidden. Gratiano, keep the house,
And seize on the fortunes of the Moor,
Because they fall on you. To you, lord governor,
Remains the sentencing of this hellish villain;
The time, the place, the torture, O, enforce it!
I myself will board the ship right away and go to the state
To relate his heavy act with heavy heart.

Exeunt.
