"THAT GRIM CASTLE IN THAT ANCIENT TOWN"

 

"IN ALEPPO ONCE"

 

And say besides, that in Aleppo once,Where a malignant and a turban'd TurkBeat a Venetian and traduced the State,I took by the throat the circumcised dog,And smote him thus—and thus.OTHELLO.

 

How should it come to pass that on this pageO'er which I pore by this pale candle light,There should appear this creature of affright—The unnamed victim of Othello's rage?
