Here they fight. CADE falls
O, I am slain! famine and no other hath slain me: let ten thousand devils come against me, and give
me but the ten meals I have lost, and I'll defy them all. Wither, garden; and be henceforth a burying-place
to all that do dwell in this house, because the unconquered soul of Cade is fled. IDEN
Is't Cade that I have slain, that monstrous traitor? Sword, I will hollow thee for this thy deed, And hang
thee o'er my tomb when I am dead: Ne'er shall this blood be wiped from thy point; But thou shalt wear it
as a herald's coat, To emblaze the honour that thy master got. CADE
Iden, farewell, and be proud of thy victory. Tell Kent from me, she hath lost her best man, and exhort all
the world to be cowards; for I, that never feared any, am vanquished by famine, not by valour.
Dies IDEN
How much thou wrong'st me, heaven be my judge. Die, damned wretch, the curse of her that bare thee; And
as I thrust thy body in with my sword, So wish I, I might thrust thy soul to hell. Hence will I drag thee
headlong by the heels Unto a dunghill which shall be thy grave, And there cut off thy most ungracious
head; Which I will bear in triumph to the king, Leaving thy trunk for crows to feed upon.
