Words of fury were declared in the dead of the night

Iago and Roderigo headed to steer a fight

For the fair Desdemona to marry the Moor

Was a thought Roderigo could not endure

So they made many a slanderous remark

Directing Brabantio to quickly depart

With Roderigo leading him the way

To the commencement of Iago's wicked play

While Othello was with his paramour

Unaware of the trials awaiting their romantic summer

News about the war was brought to Othello by his men

Which required him to come right then

Paths crossed and swords clashed between the two

But halted as Othello had a meeting to head to

Brabantio decided to bring his cause to the duke

As he must not let his daughter marry an ebony kook

Fair Desdemona was brought forth

She declared her unwavering love of her consort

No longer would Brabantio claim her as his own

As she was no longer whom he had known

Thus Othello was proved to be ingenuous

And they prepared to leave for Cyprus

Just as Iago hatched his monstrous scheme

To sabotage the two lovers' dream
