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 pro-
claimed. 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!
