     Act III 

    
    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.
    
    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
    	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?
    
    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.
    
    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.
    
    EROS	Come, sir.
    
    	Exeunt
