Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.Juliet, Act II, scene ii

a church door; but 'tis enough, 'twill serve.  Ask for

Activity 11 Othello Act 5 sc. 2


OTHELLO.
It is the reason, it is the reason, my soul,--

I'm not going to tell you, you chaste stars!--

It is the reason.--

Yet, i wont kill her;

No scar will be seen

And smooth as monumental alabaster.

[Takes off his sword.]

She must die,or she will break more men's hearts

Turn off the light, and then kill her:

If I quench thee, thou flaming minister,
I can again thy former light restore,
should i feel sorry when i kill her--
Thou cunning'st pattern of excelling nature,
I know not where is that Promethean heat
That can thy light relume. When I have pluck'd thy rose,
I cannot give it vital growth again,
It must needs wither:--I'll smell it on the tree--
