King Henry VI, Part II
| ACT IV SCENE III | Another part of Blackheath. | |
| [ Alarums to the fight, wherein SIR HUMPHREY and WILLIAM STAFFORD are slain. Enter CADE and the rest ] | ||
| CADE | Where’s Dick, the butcher of Ashford? | |
| 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, | 5 | |
| the Lent shall be as long again as it is; and thou | ||
| shalt have a licence to kill for a hundred lacking | ||
| one. | ||
| DICK | I desire no more. | |
| CADE | And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. This | 10 |
| 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. | ||
| DICK | If we mean to thrive and do good, break open the | 15 |
| gaols and let out the prisoners. | ||
| CADE | Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let’s march | |
| towards London. | ||
| [Exeunt] | ||
