ISOLANI.
Even now am I arriv'd; it has been else my duty—
OCTAVIO.
Thus to renew acquaintance with a man
Whose worth and services I know and honor.

OCTAVIO (presenting Questenberg to Butler and Isolani).
The bearer of the Emperor's behests,
The long-tried friend and patron of all soldiers,
We honor in this noble visitor.
(Universal silence.)
ILLO. (moving towards Questenberg.)
You have shewn our camp this honor.
QUESTENBERG.
I stood before these colours.
