[Two hussars come riding and dismount.]

1ST HUSS.

Well, thank God, we've got so far! Your health, neighbor!

SOLDIER.

This is the border.

2D HUSS.

Yes, Heaven be thanked! Didn't we have to ride for the sake of that fellow? Beer, host!

HOST (with several glasses).

Here, gentlemen, a fine, cool drink; you are all pretty warm.

1ST HUSS.
