ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA

Act 3 Scene 5

(Enter Enobarbus and Eros, meeting)
l1l	Enobarbus	 How now, friend Eros?
l2l	Eros	There’s strange news come, sir.
l3l	Enobarbus	What, man?
l4l	Eros	Caesar and Lepidus have made wars upon Pompey.
l5l	Enobarbus	This is old. What is the success?
l6l	Eros	Caesar, having made use of him in the wars ’gainst
l7l		Pompey, presently denied him rivality, would not let
l8l		him partake in the glory of the action, and, not resting
l9l		here, accuses him of letters he had formerly wrote to
l10l		Pompey# upon his own appeal seizes him# so the poor
l11l		third is up, till death enlarge his confine.
l12l	Enobarbus	 Then, world, thou hast a pair of chops, no more,
l13l		And throw between them all the food thou hast,
l14l		They’ll grind the one the other. Where’s Antony?
l15l	Eros	He’s walking in the garden, thus, and spurns
l16l		The rush that lies before him, cries “Fool Lepidus!”
l17l		And threats the throat of that his officer
l18l		That murdered Pompey.
	Enobarbus	Our great navy’s rigged.
l19l	Eros	For Italy and Caesar. More, Domitius:
l20l		My lord desires you presently. My news
l21l		I might have told hereafter.
	Enobarbus	’Twill be naught.
l22l		But let it be# bring me to Antony.
	Eros	Come, sir.
