THE SOLUTION:
The hidden characters are IAGO, OTHELLO, DESDEMONA, BRABANTIO, CASSIO.

The tale: sewn relic, jealous temper.

I'll advocate guilt oft;
O then, her elder lover's loving's off.
Deceit,  Hello!    What  wretched  worry  bring!
Eternal woe! I'll weep!   No  arms  I'll  raise.
So    pitiful!        No    conquering    acclaim.
Depart wild horse, the horn, the trumpet  blown,
Emblems  that  flutter,   upward  flown,  adieu!
March in parade?   No  more  fanfare  or  noise.
Off,     quaking    armaments    that     terrify,
Negating thund'rous roar.  My helm?  End  it!
Adieu cadet!  All  sparring  stop.  It's  o'er!

Note also that the lines containing horizontal acrostics are desciptive of the character named, and that the double (possessive-contractive) apostrophe "s"'s in the final line of the original ("Othello's occupation's gone") are mirrored at the beginning of the anagram.
