Otello fa cenno all'Araldo di allontanarsi

OTELLO
a Jago
Bene sta.
Continua.

JAGO
Qui trarrò Cassio e con astute inchieste
lo adescherò a ciarlar.
indicando il vano del verone
Voi là nascosto
scrutate i modi suoi, le sue parole,
i lazzi, i gesti. Paziente siate
o la prova vi sfugge. Ecco Desdemona.
Finger conviene… io vado.
dicendo io vado, s'allontana come per escire, poi s'arresta e si riavvinca ad Otello per dirgli l'ultima parola
Il fazzoletto…

OTELLO
Va! volentieri obliato l'avrei.
Jago esce

English Libretto or Translation:

OTHELLO
Good.
(He makes a sign to dismiss the herald. The herald leaves.)
(to Iago)
Continue.

IAGO
I will bring Cassio here, and cunningly
will lure him on to gossip.
(indicating the embrasure on the terrace)
Hidden there,
you can observe his manner,
his words, his gibes, his gestures.

Have patience, or the proof will escape you.
Here comes Desdemona. ‘Twere expedient to
dissemble ...I’ll leave you.
(He starts to walk towards the door, then stops and
returns to say one last word to Othello.)
The handkerchief...

OTHELLO
Go! I would most gladly have forgot it.
(Iago goes out. Desdemona enters by the door on the left.)
