_Cade._ As for these silken coated slaues I passe not a pinne, Tis to you good people that I speake.

And besides, they can [dam112] speake French, and therefore they are traitors.

_Stafford._ As how I prethie?

_Cade._ Why the French men are our enemies be they not? ·dam115· And then can hee that speakes with the tongue of an enemy be a good subject?

Answere me to that.

_Stafford._ Well sirrha, wilt thou yeeld thy selfe vnto the Kings mercy, and he will pardon thee and these, their outrages and rebellious [dam120] deeds?

For deliuering vp the townes in France to Mounsier bus mine cue, the Dolphin of France?

And more then so, thou hast most traitorously erected a grammer schoole, to infect the youth of the realme, and against the Kings Crowne and dignitie, thou hast built vp a paper-mill, nay it wil be ·dar030· said to thy face, that thou kepst men in thy house that daily reades [dar031] of bookes with red letters, and talkes of a Nowne and a Verbe, and such abhominable words as no Christian eare is able to endure it.

Thou ridest on a foot-cloth [dar037] doest thou not?

_Say._ Yes, what of that?

(Away with him. _Exet_ one or two, with the Lord _Say_.

There shall not a noble man weare a head on his shoulders, But he shall paie me tribute for it. Nor there shal not a mayd be married, but he shal fee to me for her. Maydenhead or else, ile haue it my selfe, ·dar065· Marry I will that married men shall hold of me in capitie, [dar066] And that their wiues shalbe as free as hart can thinke, or toong can (tell.

_Cade._ Dicke follow thy sute in her common place, You horson villaine, you are a Sargiant youle, [dar078] Take any man by the throate for twelue pence, And rest a man when hees at dinner, [dar080] And haue him to prison ere the meate be out of his mouth. [dar081] Go Dicke take him hence, cut out his toong for cogging, [dar082] Hough him for running, and to conclude, Braue him with his owne mace. [dar084] _Exet_ with the Sargiant.

So, come carry them before me, and at euery lanes ende, let them ·dar085· kisse togither.

_Comberland_.

_Clifford._ Why country-men and warlike friends of Kent, What meanes this mutinous rebellions, [dar088] That you in troopes do muster thus your selues, Vnder the conduct of this Traitor Cade? ·dar090· To rise against your soueraigne Lord and King, Who mildly hath his pardon sent to you, If you forsake this monstrous Rebell here? If honour be the marke whereat you aime, Then haste to France that our forefathers wonne, ·dar095· And winne againe that thing which now is lost, And leaue to seeke your Countries ouerthrow.

_Buc._ Yorke, if thou meane well, I greete thee so.

_Yorke._ Humphrey of Buckingham, welcome I sweare: What comes thou in loue or as a Messenger? [dau008]

_Buc._ I come as a Messenger from our dread Lord and soueraign, Henry. To know the reason of these Armes in peace? ·dau010· Or that thou being a subiect as I am, Shouldst thus approach so neare with colours spred, Whereas the person of the King doth keepe?

_Yorke._ A subiect as he is. [dau014] Oh how I hate these spitefull abiect termes, ·dau015· But Yorke dissemble, till thou meete thy sonnes, Who now in Armes expect their fathers sight, And not farre hence I know they cannot be. [dau018] Humphrey Duke of Buckingham, pardon me, That I answearde not at first, my mind was troubled, ·dau020· I came to remoue that monstrous Rebell Cade, And heaue proud Somerset from out the Court, That basely yeelded vp the Townes in France.

_Buc._ Why that was presumption on thy behalfe, But if it be no otherwise but so, [dau025] The King doth pardon thee, and granst to thy request, [dau026] And Somerset is sent vnto the Tower.

_Yorke._ Vpon thine honour is it so?

Enter maister _Eyden_ with _Iacke Cades_ head.

_Eyden._ Long liue Henry in triumphant peace, [dau044] Lo here my Lord vpon my bended knees, ·dau045· I here present the traitorous head of Cade, That hand to hand in single fight I slue.

_King._ First thanks to heauen, & next to thee my friend, That hast subdude that wicked traitor thus. O let me see that head that in his life, ·dau050· Did worke me and my land such cruell spight, A visage sterne, cole blacke his curled locks, Deepe trenched furrowes in his frowning brow, Presageth warlike humors in his life. Here take it hence and thou for thy reward, ·dau055· Shalt be immediatly created Knight. Kneele downe my friend, and tell me whats thy name? [dau057]

_Queene._ He shall not hide himselfe for feare of Yorke, ·dau070· But beard and braue him proudly to his face.

_Yorke._ Whose that, proud Somerset at libertie? [dau072] Base fearefull Henry that thus dishonor’st me, By heauen, thou shalt not gouerne ouer me: I cannot brooke that Traitors presence here, ·dau075· Nor will I subiect be to such a King, That knowes not how to gouerne nor to rule, Resigne thy Crowne proud Lancaster to me, That thou vsurped hast so long by force, For now is Yorke resolu’d to claim his owne, ·dau080· And rise aloft into faire Englands Throane.

_Somer._ Proud Traitor, I arest thee on high treason, Against thy soueraigne Lord, yeeld thee false Yorke, For here I sweare, thou shalt vnto the Tower, For these proud words which thou hast giuen the king. ·dau085·

_Yorke._ Thou art deceiued, my sonnes shalbe my baile, [dau086] And send thee there in dispight of him. [dau087] Hoe, where are you boyes?

_Cliff._ Why, I did no way mistake, this is my King. ·dav005· What is he mad? to Bedlam with him.

_King._ I, a bedlam frantike humor driues him thus [dav007] To leauy Armes against his lawfull King. [dav008]

_Clif._ Why doth not your grace send him to the Tower? [dav009]

_Queene._ He is arested, but will not obey, ·dav010· His sonnes he saith, shall be his baile. [dav011]

_Yorke._ How say you boyes, will you not?

_Edward._ Yes noble father, if our words will serue.

_Richard._ And if our words will not, our swords shall.

_Yorke._ Call hither to the stake, my two rough beares. ·dav015·

_Rich._ So Lie thou there, and breathe thy last. [daw001] Whats here, the signe of the Castle?

_War._ Clifford of Comberland, tis Warwicke calles, And if thou doest not hide thee from the Beare, ·daw010· Now whilst the angry Trompets sound Alarmes, And dead mens cries do fill the emptie aire: Clifford I say, come forth and fight with me, Proud Northerne Lord, Clifford of Comberland, Warwicke is hoarse with calling thee to Armes. ·daw015· Clifford speakes within.

Warwicke stand still, and view the way that Clifford hewes with his murthering Curtel-axe, through the fainting troopes to finde thee out.

Warwicke stand still, and stir not till I come.

Enter _Yorke_.

_War._ How now my Lord, what a foote? ·daw020· Who kild your horse?

_Yorke._ The deadly hand of Clifford. Noble Lord, Fiue horse this day slaine vnder me, And yet braue Warwicke I remaine aliue, But I did kill his horse he lou’d so well, ·daw025· The boniest gray that ere was bred in North.

Enter _Clifford_, and _Warwicke_ offers to fight with him.

Hold Warwicke, and seeke thee out some other chase, My selfe will hunt this deare to death.

_War._ Braue Lord, tis for a Crowne thou fights, [daw029] Clifford farewell, as I entend to prosper well to day, ·daw030· It grieues my soule to leaue thee vnassaild. _Exet Warwicke._

_Yorke._ Now Clifford, since we are singled here alone, Be this the day of doome to one of vs, For now my heart hath sworne immortall hate To thee, and all the house of Lancaster. ·daw035·

_Cliffood._ And here I stand, and pitch my foot to thine, Vowing neuer to stir, till thou or I be slaine. For neuer shall my heart be safe at rest, Till I haue spoyld the hatefull house of Yorke. Alarmes, and they fight, and _Yorke_ kils _Clifford_.

_Yorke._ Now Lancaster sit sure, thy sinowes shrinke, [daw040] Come fearefull Henry grouelling on thy face, Yeeld vp thy Crowne vnto the Prince of Yorke. _Exet Yorke._

Alarmes, then enter yoong _Clifford_ alone.

_Yoong Clifford._ Father of Comberland, Where may I seeke my aged father forth? [daw044] O! dismall sight, see where he breathlesse lies, [daw045] All smeard and weltred in his luke-warme blood, Ah, aged pillar of all Comberlands true house, Sweete father, to thy murthred ghoast I sweare, Immortall hate vnto the house of Yorke, Nor neuer shall I sleepe secure one night, Till I haue furiously reuengde thy death, And left not one of them to breath on earth.

He takes him vp on his backe.

And thus as old Ankyses sonne did beare His aged father on his manly backe, And fought with him against the bloodie Greeks, ·daw055· Euen so will I. But staie, heres one of them, [daw056] To whom my soule hath sworne immortall hate. [daw057]

Enter _Richard_, and then _Clifford_ laies downe his father, fights
with him, and _Richard_ flies away againe.

Out crooktbacke villaine, get thee from my sight. [daw058] But I will after thee, and once againe When I haue borne my father to his Tent, ·daw060· Ile trie my fortune better with thee yet. [daw061] _Exet_ yoong _Clifford_ with his father.

Alarmes againe, and then enter three or foure, bearing the Duke of
_Buckingham_ wounded to his Tent.

Alarmes still, and then enter the King and Queene.

_Queene._ Away my Lord, and flie to London straight, Make hast, for vengeance comes along with them, Come stand not to expostulate, lets go. [daw064]

_King._ Come then faire Queene, to London let vs hast, ·daw065· And sommon a Parlament with speede, [daw066] To stop the fury of these dyre euents. [daw067] _Exet_ King and Queene.

Alarmes, and then a flourish, and enter the Duke of _Yorke_ and
_Richard_.

_Yorke._ How now boyes, fortunate this fight hath bene, I hope to vs and ours, for Englands good, And our great honour, that so long we lost, ·daw070· Whilst faint-heart Henry did vsurpe our rights: But did you see old Salsbury, since we With bloodie mindes did buckle with the foe, I would not for the losse of this right hand, That ought but well betide that good old man. ·daw075·

_Rich._ My Lord, I saw him in the thickest throng, Charging his Lance with his old weary armes, And thrise I saw him beaten from his horse, And thrise this hand did set him vp againe, And still he fought with courage gainst his foes, ·daw080· The boldest sprited man that ere mine eyes beheld. [daw081]

Enter _Salsbbury_ and _Warwicke_.

_Edward._ See noble father, where they both do come, The onely props vnto the house of Yorke.

_Sals._ Well hast thou fought this day, thou valiant Duke, And thou braue bud of Yorkes encreasing house, ·daw085· The small remainder of my weary life, I hold for thee, for with thy warlike arme, Three times this day thou hast preseru’d my life.

_Yorke._ What say you Lords, the King is fled to London? There as I here to hold a Parlament. [daw090] What saies Lord Warwicke, shall we after them?

_War._ After them, nay before them if we can. Now by my faith Lords, twas a glorious day, [daw093] Saint Albones battaile wonne by famous Yorke, Shall be eternest in all age to come. [daw095] Sound Drummes and Trumpets, and to London all, And more such daies as these to vs befall. [daw097] _Exet omnes._
