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.
