Permit me, my gracious lord——!
Julian.
Why do you force your way into my house? What is the Emperor’s will?
Leontes.
His will is to gladden you, my lord, by a great and weighty announcement.
Julian.
I pray you, let me know what announcement you bring.
Leontes.
[Kneels.] My most noble lord,—with praise to your good fortune and my own, I hail you Caesar.
