OTHELLO
Now in the dark night
Is silenced every noise.
Now my throbbing heart
Is lulled in this embrace and quieted.
Let war thunder and the world be engulfed
If after infinite wrath
Comes this infinite love!

DESDEMONA

My proud warrior! How many torments,
How many sad sighs and how much hope
Have led us to these sweet embraces!
Oh! How it is sweet to murmur together:
Do you remember?

When you recounted the exile of your life
And of daring deeds and your long suffering
And I listened, with soul rapt
In those terrors, and with ecstasy in my heart.

OTHELLO

I told of the clash of arms, the battle
And the valiant rush into the mortal breach,
The assault, clinging like ivy with out nails
On the rampart, and the whistling arrow.

DESDEMONA

Then you led me to the shining deserts,
To the burning sands, to your mother soil;
And told me of the torments suffered,
And the chains and grief of slavery.

OTHELLO

Ennobling my story with your tears
On your lovely face, and your lips with sighs
There settled on my darkness glory,
Paradise, and the stars to bless.

DESDEMONA

And I saw from your dark temples
The eternal beauty of your spirit shine.

OTHELLO

And you loved me for my misfortunes
And I loved you that you did pity them.

DESDEMONA

And I loved you for your misfortunes
And you loved me that I did pity them.

OTHELLO

Let death come! Taking me in the ecstasy
Of this embrace
The supreme moment!

(The sky is now clear. Stars are visible
and, on the rim of the horizon, the blue
reflection of the rising moon.)

Such is my soul's joy that I am afraid.
I fear that I wll never again be granted
This divine moment
In the unknown future of my destiny.

DESDEMONA

May heaven drive away all care
And Love not change with changing years.

OTHELLO

To this prayer of yours
May the heavenly host answer Amen.

DESDEMONA

May it answer Amen.

OTHELLO (leaning against a step
of the ramparts)
Ah! Joy enuglfs me.
So fiercly ... that I lie, breathless ...
A kiss ...

DESDEMONA

Othello! ...

OTHELLO

A kiss ... another kiss,
(rising and looking at the sky)
The burning Pleiades already sink into the sea.

DESDEMONA

Late is the night.

OTHELLO

Come ... Venus is shining.

DESDEMONA

Othello!

(Embracing, they go slowly toward the castle.)
