bdc SCENE III. Another part of
Blackheath.
Alarums to the fight, wherein both the STAFFORDS 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 license
♦
to kill for a hundred lacking one.
Dick.
I desire no more.
Cade.
And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. This
10
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.
If we mean to thrive and do good, break open
15
the gaols and let out the prisoners.
Cade.
Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let’s march towards London. [Exeunt.
