SCENE VI. The Same. Cannon Street. Enter Jack Cade, and his Followers. He strikes his Staff on London-stone.

Cade.

Now is Mortimer lord of this city. And

-- 196 --

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

Enter a Soldier, running.

Sold.

Jack Cade! Jack Cade!

Cade.

Knock him down there.

[They kill him.

Smith.

If this fellow be wise, he'll never call you Jack Cade more: I think, he hath a very fair warning.

Dick.

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

Cade.

Come then, let's go fight with them. But, first, go and set London-bridge on fire; and, if you can, burn down the Tower too. Come, let's away.

[Exeunt.
