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
license to kill for a hundred lacking one.
DICK
I desire no more.
CADE
And to speak truth, thou deservst no less. This monument of the victory
will I bear, 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 jails, and let out the
prisoners.
CADE
Fear not that I warrant thee. Come, let's march towards London.
[Exeunt]
