Shakespeare in Rhyme.

!
Othello was captain bould,
Though black as coal by nature;
To Desdemona he was bound
A beautiful young crayture.
With her he led ahappy life,
For she was no virago,
Until, one day, he chanced to meet
A villain named Iago,
Says he, your wife's perjurod jade.
She is faithless lassie, obl
She doesn't care straw foryou,
She'd give your eyes for Cassie.
With him she gallivahts about.
In all her hours ofAeisure;
She stole your pocket handkerchief,
For him to wipe his razor.
Ny handkerchief my handkerchief!
Othello then did stammer;
My cotton pocket handkerchief
Oh, d her, base mink, d her!
Neither with dagger, nor with dirk,
For that would make a foul stir;
But first I'll put the candle out,
And slay her with the boulster!
