Act IV, Scene vi

[Enter JACK CADE and the rest, and strikes his staff onLondon-stone.]

CADE.:

Now is Mortimer lord of this city. And here, sitting upon

London-stone, I charge and command that, of the city's cost, the

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.]

SOLDIER.:

Jack Cade! Jack Cade!

CADE.:

Knock him down there.

[They kill him.]

SMITH.:

If this fellow be wise, he'll never call ye 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.]
