| If you lay for Iago at the stage door with a brick | D |
| You have missed the moral of the play | E |
| He will have a midnight supper with Othello and his wife | F |
| They will chirp together and be gay | E |
| But the things Iago stands for must go down into the dust | A |
| Lying and suspicion and conspiracy and lust | A |
| And I cannot hate the Kaiser I hope you understand | A |
| Yet I chase the thing he stands for with a brickbat in my hand | A |
