Cyprus. A Street.
Enter a HERALD reading a proclamation.
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!
[Exit.
