Shakespeare Anagram: Othello
I did this one already, but some felt that the O.J. Simpson reference was a cheap shot, so let’s try another anagram of the same passage.
From Othello:
Speak of me as I am; nothing extenuate,
Nor set down aught in malice: then, must you speak
Of one that lov’d not wisely but too well;
Of one not easily jealous, but, being wrought,
Perplex’d in the extreme;
Shift around the letters, and it becomes:
Othello’s wanting absolution, but too bad. Never expunge the element of the fatal. No matter how many times he explains, we will not keep it out.
Is any spoken excuse good enough to justify a murder?

I need to commend you on your anagramming skills. Well done! I also agree with with DeLisa about the last line. Very nice.
