There’s strange news come, sir.

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS

DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
This is old: what is the success?
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.

But let it be. Bring me to Antony.
