Cyprus. A Street.
 Enter a HERALD reading a proclamation.

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, 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 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!
												[Exit.
