The Only Use of
boon
in
Othello, the Moor of Venice
- Why, this is not a boon; 'tis as I should entreat you wear your gloves, Or feed on nourishing dishes, or keep you warm, Or sue to you to do a peculiar profit To your own person: nay, when I have a suit Wherein I mean to touch your love indeed, It shall be full of poise and difficult weight, And fearful to be granted.†
Scene 3.3
Definition:
-
(boon) something that is of great benefit
