EPIGRAPH: The time is racked with birth-pangs; every hour
Brings forth some gasping truth, and truth new-born
Looks a misshapen and untimely growth,
The terror of the household and its shame,
A monster coiling in its nurse's lap
That some would strangle, some would starve;
But still it breathes, and passed from hand to hand,
And suckled at a hundred half-clad breasts
Comes slowly to its stature and its form,
Calms the rough ridges of its dragon scales,
Changes to shining locks its snaky hair,
And moves transfigured into Angel guise,
Welcomed by all that cursed its hour of birth,
And folded in the same encircling arms
That cast it like a serpent from their hold!

EPIGRAPH: IAGO. Come, hold your peace.
EMILIA. 'Twill out, 'twill out:—I hold my peace, Sir? no;
I'll be in speaking, liberal as the air:
Let heaven, and men, and devils, let them all
All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak.
