What does this Shakespeare line mean?

Question

From Act I, Scene V, Line 750:

I thank you, honest gentlemen. Good night. Bring more torches over here! Come on, let's all get to bed. (to his COUSIN) Ah, my man, I swear, it's getting late. I'm going to get some rest

So it means: we have a little desert coming up.
