Antony and Cleopatra, Act 3, Scene 5

How now, friend Eros?

What's happening, my friend Eros?

There’s strange news come, sir.

Strange news has come, sir.

What, man?

What is it, man?

Caesar and Lepidus have made wars upon Pompey.

Caesar and Lepidus have made war on Pompey.

This is old. What is the success?

That's old news. What's the outcome?

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.

Caesar, having used him in the war against Pompey, at once refused to treat him as an equal; he would not let him share in the glory of the campaign, and, not stopping there, he charges him with letters he had written earlier to Pompey; and on his own accusation alone, he arrests him. So the poor third of the three is shut up, until death sets him free from his prison.

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?

Then, world, you have only one pair of jaws left, and no more, and if you throw all the food you have between them, they'll grind each other. Where's Antony?

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 murdered Pompey.

He's walking in the garden, like this, and kicking at the reeds strewn in his path; he shouts "Fool Lepidus!" and threatens to cut the throat of that officer of his who murdered Pompey.

Our great navy’s rigged.

Our great fleet is fitted out.

For Italy and Caesar. More, Domitius: My lord desires you presently. My news I might have told hereafter.

For Italy and Caesar. There's more, Domitius: my lord wants you at once. I could have told my news later.

’Twill be naught, But let it be. Bring me to Antony.

It will come to nothing, but let it be. Take me to Antony.

Come, sir.

Come along, sir.
