Home Shakespeare The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra |
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
