Act V

Lorenzo
Who comes with her?
Stephano
None but a holy hermit and her maid.
I pray you, is my master yet return’d?
Lorenzo
He is not, nor we have not heard from him.
But go we in, I pray thee, Jessica,
And ceremoniously let us prepare
Some welcome for the mistress of the house.
Launcelot
Sola, sola! wo ha, ho! sola, sola!
Lorenzo
Who calls?
Launcelot
Sola! did you see Master Lorenzo?
Master Lorenzo, sola, sola!
Lorenzo
Leave hollaing, man: here.
Launcelot
Sola! where? where?
Lorenzo
Here.
Launcelot
Tell him there’s a post come from my master, with his horn full of good news: my master will be here ere morning.
Exit.
