Antony and Cleopatra, III. i

Can equally move with them. Provide your going;

Choose your own company, and command what cost

Your heart has mind to.

Eno. How now, friend Eros!

Eros. There's strange news come, sir.

Eno. What, man?

Eros. Cæsar and Lepidus have made wars

upon Pompey.

Eno. This is old: what is the success?

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

third is up, till death enlarge his confine.

Eno. 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.

Eno. Our great navy's rigg'd.

 36 Provide: make ready for  6 success: outcome

9 rivality: partnership
