     Act IV 

    
    ACT IV: 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
