_Geo._ O monstrous coward! what, to come behind folks? _Say._ These cheeks are pale for watching for your good.   [bdg075] _Cade._ Give him a box o’ the ear and that will make ’em red again. _Say._ Long sitting to determine poor men’s causes Hath made me full of sickness and diseases. _Cade._ Ye shall have a hempen caudle then and the   [bdg080] help of hatchet. _Dick._ Why dost thou quiver, man? _Say._ The palsy, and not fear, provokes me.   [bdg083] _Cade._ Nay, he nods at us, as who should say, I’ll be even with you: I’ll see if his head will stand steadier on a   ·bdg085· pole, or no. Take him away, and behead him. _Say._ Tell me wherein have I offended most? Have I affected wealth or honour? speak. Are my chests fill’d up with extorted gold? Is my apparel sumptuous to behold?   ·bdg090· Whom have I injured, that ye seek my death? These hands are free from guiltless blood-shedding, This breast from harbouring foul deceitful thoughts. O, let me live! _Cade._ [_Aside_] I feel remorse in myself with his words;   [bdg095] but I’ll bridle it: he shall die, an it be but for pleading so [bdg096] well for his life. Away with him! he has a familiar under his tongue; he speaks not o’ God’s name. Go, take him away,   [bdg098] I say, and strike off his head presently; and then break into his son-in-law’s house, Sir James Cromer, and strike   [bdg100] off his head, and bring them both upon two poles hither. _All._ It shall be done. _Say._ Ah, countrymen! if when you make your prayers, God should be so obdurate as yourselves, How would it fare with your departed souls?   ·bdg105· And therefore yet relent, and save my life. _Cade._ Away with him! and do as I command ye.   [bdg107]     [_Exeunt some with Lord Say._ The proudest peer in the realm shall not wear a head on [bdg108] his shoulders, unless he pay me tribute; there shall not a maid be married, but she shall pay to me her maidenhead [bdg110] ere they have it: men shall hold of me in capite; and we charge and command that their wives be as free as heart can wish or tongue can tell. _Dick._ My lord, when shall we go to Cheapside and take up commodities upon our bills?   ·bdg115· _Cade._ Marry, presently. _All._ O, brave!   [bdg117]    _Re-enter one with the heads._ _Cade._ But is not this braver? Let them kiss one another,   [bdg118] for they loved well when they were alive. Now part   [bdg119] them again, lest they consult about the giving up of some   ·bdg120· more towns in France. Soldiers, defer the spoil of the city until night: for with these borne before us, instead of maces, will we ride through the streets; and at every corner have them kiss. Away!   [_Exeunt._   [bdg124] SCENE VIII. _Southwark_. _Alarum and retreat. Enter_ CADE _and all his rabblement_.
