My wayward husband hath a hundred times
Wooed me to steal it, but she so loves the token
(For he conjured her she should ever keep it)
That she reserves it evermore about her
To kiss and talk to. I’ll have the work ta'en out
And give ’t Iago. What he will do with it
Heaven knows, not I.
I nothing but to please his fantasy. (290-299)
