SCENE V. London. Enter lord Scales, and others, on the walls of the Tower. Then enter two or three Citizens below.

Scales.
How now? is Jack Cade slain?

1 Cit.

No, my lord, nor likely to be slain; for they have won the bridge, killing all those that withstand them: The lord mayor craves aid of your honour from the Tower, to defend the city from the rebels.

Scales.
Such aid as I can spare, you shall command;
But I am troubled here with them myself,

-- 396 --

The rebels have assay'd to win the Tower.
But get you into Smithfield, gather head,
And thither will I send you Matthew Gough:
Fight for your king, your country, and your lives;
And so farewel, for I must hence again. [Exeunt.
