DICK
If this fellow be wise, he’ll never call ye Jack Cade more: I think he hath a
very fair warning. [10]
[Dick takes a paper from the soldier’s body and reads it.]
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. [15]
Exeunt.
Scene VII IT
Alarum. Matthew Gough is slain, and all the rest [of his followers with
him].Then enter Jack Cade with his company.
CADE
So, sirs. Now go some and pull down the Savoy; others to th’Inns of Court;
down with them all!
DICK
I have a suit unto your lordship.
CADE
Be it a lordship, thou shalt have it for that word.
DICK
Only that the laws of England may come out of [5] your mouth.
HOLLAND
[aside]
Mass, ’twill be sore law then, for he was thrust in the mouth with a spear,
and ’tis not whole yet.
SMITH [10]
[aside]
Nay, John, it will be stinking law, for his breath stinks with eating toasted
cheese.
