Othello I.3.76-94
Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors,
My very noble and approved good masters,
That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter,
It is most true; true, I have married her;
The very head and front of my offending
Hath this extent, no more. Rude am I in my speech,
And little blest with the soft phrase of peace;
For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle;
And therefore little shall I grace my cause
In speaking for myself. Yet, by your gracious patience,
I will a round unvarnish'd tale deliver
Of my whole course of love: what drugs, what charms,
What conjuration, and what mighty magic
For such proceeding I am charged withal
I won his daughter.

Most potent, grave, and reverend signiors,
Where do the stresses fall? Why?
My very noble and approved good masters,
Which words are being emphasised?
That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter,
Where might the rhythm change? Why?
It is most true; true, I have married her;
The very head and front of my offending
How would you tell an actor to use the rhythm here?
Hath this extent, no more. Rude am I in my speech,
What do you want to emphasise?
And little blest with the soft phrase of peace

Where do the stresses fall? Why?
My very noble and approved good masters,
Which words are being emphasised?
That I have ta'en away this old man's daughter,
Where might the rhythm change? Why?
It is most true; true, I have married her;
The very head and front of my offending
How would you tell an actor to use the rhythm here?
Hath this extent, no more. Rude am I in my speech,
What do you want to emphasise?
And little blest with the soft phrase of peace
For since these arms of mine had seven years' pith,
Till now some nine moons wasted, they have used
Their dearest action in the tented field,
And little of this great world can I speak,
More than pertains to feats of broil and battle;
And therefore little shall I grace my cause
In speaking for myself.
