Henry VI, Part II by William Shakespeare

Act 4 - Scene 6

London. Cannon Street.

Jack Cade : Now is Mortimer lord of this city. And here, sitting [p]upon
London-stone, I charge and command that, of the [p]city's cost, the
pissing-conduit run nothing but [p]claret wine this first year of our
reign. And now [p]henceforward it shall be treason for any that
calls [p]me other than Lord Mortimer.

Soldier : Jack Cade! Jack Cade!

Jack Cade : Knock him down there.

Smith the Weaver : If this fellow be wise, he'll never call ye Jack [p]Cade more: I think
he hath a very fair warning.

Dick the Butcher : My lord, there's an army gathered together in [p]Smithfield.

Jack Cade : Come, then, let's go fight with them; but first, go [p]and set London
bridge on fire; and, if you can, burn [p]down the Tower too. Come,
let's away.
