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.
[Exeunt]
