(The same. Another room.)

Enter Enobarbus and Eros (meeting).

ENOBARBUS
How now, friend Eros?

EROS
There’s strange news come, sir.

ENOBARBUS
What, man?

EROS
Cæsar and Lepidus have made wars upon Pompey.

ENOBARBUS
This is old, what is the success? [5]

EROS

Cæsar, 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 [10] 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? [15]

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.
