 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.
