My hearts subduded     Even to the very shade of my lord.     I saw Othellos Visage in his mind,      And To his honors and his Valiant split     Did I my soul and Fortunes consecrate.      So that, dear lords, if I be remaining behind,     A moth of peace, and he go to the war,     The rites for why I love him are bereft me     And I a heavy interim shall support      By his dear absence. Let me go with him. (Shakespeare 45, line 283-293).Desdemona professed her love for Othello in front of her father and the court.
