Enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS and EROS, meetingDOMITIUS 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 'gainstDOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
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.
Then, world, thou hast a pair of chaps, no more;EROS
And throw between them all the food thou hast,
They'll grind the one the other. Where's Antony?
He's walking in the garden--thus; and spurnsDOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
The rush that lies before him; cries, 'Fool Lepidus!'
And threats the throat of that his officer
That murder'd Pompey.
Our great navy's rigg'd.EROS
For Italy and Caesar. More, Domitius;DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
My lord desires you presently: my news
I might have told hereafter.
'Twill be naught:EROS
But let it be. Bring me to Antony.
Come, sir.
Exeunt
