I had great designs for you Caesarius! It would be a great joy to me, if you could renounce your errors. Can you not?

Caesarius.

God knows what I might have done a month ago;—now I cannot.

Julian.

A marriage into one of the most powerful families should stand open to you. Will you not bethink you?

Caesarius.

No, most gracious lord.

Julian.

A man like you could quickly mount from step to step. Caesarius, is it not possible that you can give me your aid in furthering the new order of things?

Caesarius.
