The emotion that primarily drives Enobarbus in this speech is guilt. He has deserted Antony, his long-time commander, and is now consumed by self-condemnation.

The speech makes the evidence unmistakable. He declares himself "alone the villain of the earth" and says he feels his villainy more intensely than anyone ("feel I am so most"). He then reflects on Antony's extraordinary generosity: even after Enobarbus's betrayal ("turpitude"), Antony responded by sending him his treasure ("crown with gold"). He calls Antony a "mine of bounty" - an inexhaustible source of generosity - and asks, in anguish, how Antony would have rewarded loyal service if this is how he treats treachery.

It is precisely this undeserved generosity that deepens Enobarbus's guilt rather than relieving it. Antony's kindness throws the magnitude of the betrayal into sharp relief. Enobarbus is not expressing pride (he despises himself), gratitude (he is tormented, not thankful), or revenge (he has no grievance against Antony). His guilt over abandoning a generous master ultimately destroys him: he dies of a broken heart shortly after this scene.
