   Antony and Cleopatra
ACT III SCENE V The same. Another room. 
 Enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS and EROS, meeting 
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS How now, friend Eros! 
EROS There's strange news come, sir. 
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS What, man? 
EROS Caesar and Lepidus have made wars upon Pompey. 5
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS This is old: what is the success? 
EROS Caesar, having made use of him in the wars 'gainst 
 Pompey, presently denied him rivality; would not let 
 him partake in the glory of the action: and not 
 resting here, accuses him of letters he had formerly 10
 wrote to Pompey; upon his own appeal, seizes him: so 
 the poor third is up, till death enlarge his confine. 
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS Then, world, thou hast a pair of chaps, no more; 
 And throw between them all the food thou hast, 
 They'll grind the one the other. Where's Antony? 15
EROS He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurns 
 The rush that lies before him; cries, 'Fool Lepidus!' 
 And threats the throat of that his officer 
 That murder'd Pompey. 
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS Our great navy's rigg'd. 20
EROS For Italy and Caesar. More, Domitius; 
 My lord desires you presently: my news 
 I might have told hereafter. 
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS 'Twill be naught: 
 But let it be. Bring me to Antony. 25
EROS Come, sir. 
 Exeunt
