The Emperor, the Emperor! We will see the Emperor!

Soldiers.

On the shield with him! Up, up!

[The bystanders raise Julian aloft on a shield, and show him to the multitude, amid long-continued acclamations.

Julian.

The will of the army be done! I bow before the inevitable, and renew all my promises——

Legionaries.

Five gold pieces and a pound of silver!

Batavians.

Not over the Alps!
