SCENE III. _Another part of Blackheath_.
_Alarums to the fight, wherein both the_ STAFFORDS _are slain. Enter_ CADE _and the rest_. _Cade._ Where’s Dick, the butcher of Ashford? [bdc001] _Dick._ Here, sir. _Cade._ They fell before thee like sheep and oxen, and thou behavedst thyself as if thou hadst been in thine own slaughter-house: therefore thus will I reward thee, the Lent [bdc005] shall be as long again as it is; and thou shalt have a license [bdc006] to kill for a hundred lacking one. [bdc007] _Dick._ I desire no more. _Cade._ And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. This monument of the victory will I bear [_putting on Sir Humphrey’s [bdc010] brigandine_]; and the bodies shall be dragged at my horse heels till I do come to London, where we will have [bdc012] the mayor’s sword borne before us. _Dick._ If we mean to thrive and do good, break open [bdc014] the gaols and let out the prisoners. [bdc015] _Cade._ Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let’s march towards London. [_Exeunt._
