DescriptionCaptioned "Othello (Uncle Sam). 'Villain, be sure of it; give me the ocular proof; / or, by the worth of mine eternal soul, / thou hadst been better have been born a dog, / than answer my wak'd wrath.' / Iago ('Professor' of Scandal). 'It is come to this?' / Othello. 'Make me to see it; or (at least) so prove it, / that the probation bear no hinge, nor loop. / To hang a doubt on: or, woe upon thy life! / if thou dost slander her, and torture me, / never pray more: abandon all remorse; / on horror's head horrors accumulate: do deeds to make heaven weep, all earth amaz'd, / for nothing canst thou to damnation add, / greater than that.': Shakspeare [sic]" typeset beneath title in black ink.
