Today’s Totally Random Lines
O you are well tuned now!
But
I’ll set down the pegs that make this music,
As
honest as I am.
Iago
Othello Act
II, Scene i, Line 200
Iago is saying this line in an aside after watching Othello and Desdemona express their love and affection for
each other. He’s letting the audience know that he’ll be making sure that this
love and affection does not last.
I like that he ends his thought with as honest as I am. I’m familiar with the
fact that honest Iago is a phrase oft
repeated in this play, but I didn’t realize that even dishonest Iago says it.
That’s kind of funny.
I caught Mojo in a sunbeam this morning.
Now here's a guy who is always honest and straightforward with me. Yes sir, with Mojo it's what you see is what you get.

He is indeed a piece of work.
