ACT IV SCENE V | London. The tower. | |
[
Enter SCALES upon the Tower, walking.
Then enter two or three Citizens below
] |
SCALES | How now! is Jack Cade slain? |
First Citizen | 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. | 5 |
SCALES | Such aid as I can spare you shall command; |
| But I am troubled here with them myself; |
| The rebels have assay'd to win the Tower. |
| But get you to Smithfield, and gather head, |
| And thither I will send you Matthew Goffe; | 10 |
| Fight for your king, your country and your lives; |
| And so, farewell, for I must hence again. |
[Exeunt] |
