Herald

It is Othello’s pleasure，our noble and valiant

general，that，upon certain tidings now arrived，

importing the mere perditionof 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

libertyof feastingfrom this present hour of five

till the bell have told eleven．Heaven bless the

isle of Cyprus and our noble general Othello！
