READ STUDY GUIDE: Act III, scenes iv–vii

Act III, Scene v:
Athens. Another Room in 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 murder'd 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.]
