The Second Part Of King Henry The Sixth

1 [Alarums to the fight, wherein both the Staffords are slain. Enter Cade
2 and the rest.
3 CADE.
4 Where’s Dick, the butcher of Ashford?
5 DICK.
6 Here, sir.
7 CADE.
8 They fell before thee like sheep and oxen, and thou behaved’st thyself
9 as if thou hadst been in thine own slaughterhouse. Therefore thus will
10 I reward thee: the Lent shall be as long again as it is, and thou shalt
11 have a licence to kill for a hundred lacking one.
12 DICK.
13 I desire no more.
14 CADE.
15 And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. This monument of the
16 victory will I bear. [_putting on Sir Humphrey’s brigandine_] And the
17 bodies shall be dragged at my horse heels till I do come to London,
18 where we will have the Mayor’s sword borne before us.
19 DICK.
20 If we mean to thrive and do good, break open the gaols and let out the
21 prisoners.
22 CADE.
23 Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let’s march towards London.
24 [_Exeunt._]
