SCENE III. Another part of the field. The parties fight, and both the Staffords are slain. Re-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 behav'dst thyself as if thou hadst been in thine own slaughter-house: therefore thus I will reward thee,—The 4 note

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 deserv'st no less. 5 note

This monument of the victory will I bear; and the bodies shall be dragg'd at my horse' heels, 'till I do come to London, where we will have the mayor's sword borne before us.

-- 393 --

Dick.

6 noteIf 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.
