Libretto/Lyrics/Text/Testo:

JAGO
Un tal proposto spezza di mie labbra il suggello.
Non parlo ancor di prova, pur, generoso Otello,
vigilate. . .soventi le oneste e ben create
coscienze non vedono la frode:
sottovoce
vigilate.
Scrutate le parole di Desdemona, un detto
può ricondur la fede, può affermare il sospetto.

English Libretto or Translation:

IAGO (with greater urgency)
A statement such as that
breaks the seal upon my lips.
I speak not yet of proof,
but, bounteous Othello, look to it,
for often natures that are free and noble
do not suspect deception: look to it.
Observe well Desdemona’s speech;
a word could restore trust
or reaffirm suspicion.
