Where is mine host?

HOST
What is the matter, sir?

EVANS
Have a care of your entertainments; there is a friend of mine come to town
tells me there is three cozen-Germans that has cozened all the hosts of

and ’tis not convenient you should be cozened. Fare you well.
Exit.

Enter Caius.

CAIUS
I cannot tell vat is dat; but it is tell-a me dat you make grand preparation for

Exit.

HOST

Hue and cry, villain, go! − Assist me, knight, I am undone! − Fly, run, hue

Exeunt Host [and Bardolph.]
