| SCENE III. Another part of Blackheath. |
 |
|
Alarums to the fight, wherein SIR HUMPHREY and WILLIAM STAFFORD are slain. Enter CADE and the rest
|
 |
|
| CADE |
 |
|
 |
Where's Dick, the butcher of Ashford?
|
 |
|
| DICK |
 |
|
 |
Here, sir.
|
 |
|
| CADE |
 |
|
 |
They fell before thee like sheep and oxen, and thou
behavedst thyself as if thou hadst been in thine own
5 slaughter-house: therefore thus will I reward thee,
the Lent shall be as long again as it is; and thou
shalt have a licence to kill for a hundred lacking
one.
|
 |
|
| DICK |
 |
|
 |
I desire no more.
|
 |
|
| CADE |
 |
|
 |
10 And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. This
monument of the victory will I bear;
Putting on SIR HUMPHREY'S brigandine
and the bodies shall be dragged at my horse' heels
till I do come to London, where we will have the
mayor's sword borne before us.
|
 |
|
| DICK |
 |
|
 |
15 If we mean to thrive and do good, break open the
gaols and let out the prisoners.
|
 |
|
| CADE |
 |
|
 |
Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let's march
towards London.
|
 |
|
Exeunt
