   Othello
ACT II SCENE II A street. 
 Enter a Herald with a proclamation; People following 
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, 5
 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 10
 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! 
 Exeunt
