Enter a Herald with a proclamation; People following
Herald
      It is Othello's pleasure, our noble and valiant
      general, that, upon certain tidings now arrived,
      importing the mere perdition of the Turkish fleet,
      every man put himself into triumph; some to dance,
5     some to make bonfires, each man to what sport and
      revels his addiction leads him: for, besides these
      beneficial news, it is the celebration of his
      nuptial. So much was his pleasure should be
      proclaimed. All offices are open, and there is full
10    liberty of feasting from this present hour of five
      till the bell have told eleven. Heaven bless the
      isle of Cyprus and our noble general Othello!
