[Enter DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS and EROS, meeting]
 
DOMITIUS ENOBARBUS
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 against 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 would 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?
