Scene 5 SCENE changes to Cannon-Street. Enter Jack Cade and the rest, and strikes his staff on London-Stone.

Cade.

Now is Mortimer lord of this city, and here sitting upon London-Stone, I charge and command that of the city's cost the pissing conduit run nothing but claret wine the first year of our Reign. And now hence-forward it shall be treason for any that calls me other than lord Mortimer.

Enter a soldier running.

Sol.

Jack Cade, Jack Cade!

Cade.

Knock him down there.

Weav.

Dick.

My lord, there's an army gathered together in Smithfield.
