Henry VI, Part 2 - Act 4, scene 3Act 4, scene 3
⌜Scene 3⌝
Synopsis:
Cade defeats and kills the Staffords and marches on London.
Alarums to the fight, wherein both the Staffords areslain. Enter Cade and the rest.
CADE 2412 Where’s Dick, the butcher of Ashford?
DICK 2413 Here, sir.
CADE 2414 They fell before thee like sheep and oxen, and
2415 thou behaved’st thyself as if thou hadst been in
2416 5 thine own slaughterhouse. Therefore, thus will I
2417 reward thee: the Lent shall be as long again as it is,
2418 and thou shalt have a license to kill for a hundred
2419 lacking one.
DICK 2420 I desire no more.
CADE 2421 10And to speak truth, thou deserv’st no less. This
2422 monument of the victory will I bear. ⌜He puts on
Sir Humphrey Stafford’s armor and helmet, or sallet.⌝
2423 And the bodies shall be dragged at my horse
2424 heels till I do come to London, where we will have
2425 the Mayor’s sword borne before us.
DICK 2426 15If we mean to thrive and do good, break open
2427 the jails and let out the prisoners.
CADE 2428 Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let’s march
2429 towards London.
They exit ⌜with the bodies of the Staffords.⌝
