text: SCENE V.
                     Athens. ANTONY'S house
  
               Enter ENOBARBUS and EROS, meeting
  
    ENOBARBUS. How now, friend Eros!
    EROS. There's strange news come, sir.
    ENOBARBUS. What, man?
    EROS. Caesar and Lepidus have made wars upon Pompey.
    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.
    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 murd'red Pompey.
    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.
    ENOBARBUS. 'Twill be naught;
      But let it be. Bring me to Antony.
    EROS. Come, sir.                                        Exeunt
