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
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 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 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.
