Context
“To say my wife is fair, feeds well, loves company, Is free of speech, sings, plays, and dances well; Where virtue is, these are more virtuous: Nor from mine own weak merits will I draw The smallest fear or doubt of her revolt, For she had eyes, and chose me. No, Iago,
I'll see before I doubt; when I doubt, prove; And on the proof, there is no more but this: Away at once with love or jealousy!
IAGO. I am glad of it, for now I shall have reason To show the love and duty that I bear you” source
