| ACT IV SCENE III | 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, | 5 |
| 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 | 10 |
| 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 | 15 |
| gaols and let out the prisoners. |
| CADE | Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let's march |
| towards London. |
