MENAS: Wilt thou be lord of all the world? POMPEY: What say'st thou? MENAS: Wilt thou be lord of the whole world? That's twice. [...] MENAS: These three world-sharers, these competitors, Are in thy vessel. Let me cut the cable; And when we are put off, fall to their throats. All there is thine. POMPEY: Ah, this thou should'st have done, And not have spoke on't. In me 'tis villainy, In thee't had been good service.
