Sc. XVI. dap

Enter the Lord Skayles vpon the Tower walles walking.

Enter three or foure Citizens below.

♦ Lord Scayles. How now, is Iacke Cade slaine?

1. Citizen. No my Lord, nor likely to be slaine,

For they haue wonne the bridge,

Killing all those that withstand them.

5 The Lord Mayor craueth ayde of your honor from the Tower,

To defend the Citie from the Rebels.

Lord Scayles. Such aide as I can spare, you shall command,

But I am troubled here with them my selfe,

The Rebels haue attempted to win the Tower,

10 But get you to Smythfield and gather head,

♦ And thither I will send you Mathew Goffe,

Fight for your King, your Country, and your liues,

♦ And so farewell, for I must hence againe. Exet omnes.
