MAYOR. Nought rests for me in this tumultuous strife But to make open proclamation: Come, officer; as loud as e'er thou canst: Cry. OFFICER. All manner of men assembled here in arms this day against God's peace and the king's, we charge and command you, in his highness' name, to repair to your several dwelling-places; and not to wear, handle, or use any sword, weapon, or dagger, henceforward, upon pain of death. GLOUCESTER. Cardinal, I 'll be no breaker of the law; But we shall meet, and break our minds at large. WINCHESTER. Gloucester, we will meet; to thy cost, be sure; Thy heart-blood I will have for this day's work. MAYOR. I 'll call for clubs, if you will not away. This Cardinal's more haughty than the devil. GLOUCESTER. Mayor, farewell: thou dost but what thou mayst. |
