Act 4, Scene 6: London. Cannon Street

SCENE VI. London. Cannon Street.

    Enter CADE and the rest, and strikes his staff on London-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 pissing-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
