Alarums to the fight, wherein SIR HUMPHREY and WILLIAM STAFFORD are slain. Enter CADE and the restCADE
Where's Dick, the butcher of Ashford?DICK
Here, sir.CADE
They fell before thee like sheep and oxen, and thouDICK
behavedst thyself as if thou hadst been in thine own
slaughter-house: therefore thus will I reward thee,
the Lent shall be as long again as it is; and thou
shalt have a licence to kill for a hundred lacking
one.
I desire no more.CADE
And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. ThisDICK
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.
If we mean to thrive and do good, break open theCADE
gaols and let out the prisoners.
Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let's march
towards London.
Exeunt
