IAGO (tankard in hand):
Young man, wet your whistle,
down it even quicker...
Ere your lively nights and
summer days turn to foam!
CASSIO (doubtfully sipping):
This real amber nectar of a liquor
will thrust bright reason off
her rightful throne!
IAGO:
One li'l sip can you hold
under our pennant;
who dares wins, Lieutenant!
Drink now with me!
Drink now with me!
Drink, Lieutenant...

One little sip more, and drunk he'll be!
RODERIGO:
One little sip more, and drunk he'll be!
IAGO:
I get quicker thinking
when inebriated...
challenging all these notorious
ironies of destiny!
CASSIO:
After this much drinking,
I'm so elated...
Everything feels glorious,
and I'm so free!!

(Throughout this part of the song, Cassio is gradually encouraged more and more to drink hard, emptying two or three tankards)
IAGO:
Down the throat leads to young man's heart a byway...
CASSIO (reeling):
Look deep into my chest and see my true self, my way!!
IAGO:
...revealing hidden deception...
CASSIO (slurred, up until he comes to in a later scene):
Of my true self I am not afraid!!
I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid!

He's as drunk as we wanted! Get ready,
his hot blood is boiling,
provoke him, and he'll draw steel against you!
CASSIO:
A sinner, I... have drunk, sure...
IAGO (to Roderigo):
Think that this way we'll ruin your lady love's
and her commander's sweet first night of love!
RODERIGO:
Count on me, that's a given!
CASSIO (raising his right hand, and then his left, confusing left and right):
This is... my left... this is my right!
