JAKE CADE.
There shall be in England seven half-penny loaves sold for a penny.... There shall be no money: all shall eat and drink on my score, and I will apparel them all in our livery.
And here, sitting upon London-stone, I charge and command, that, of the city's cost, the pissing-conduit run nothing but claret-wine this first year of our reign.... Away, burn all the records of the realm; my mouth shall be the parliament of England.... And henceforth all things shall be held in common.... What canst thou answer to my majesty for giving up of Normandy unto Monsieur Basimecu, the dauphin of France?
The proudest peer of the realm shall not wear a head on his shoulders unless he pays me tribute; there shall not be a maid married, but she shall pay to me her maidenhead ere they have it. (Re-enter rebels with the heads of Lord Say and his son-in-law.) But is not this braver? Let them kiss one another, for they loved well when they were alive.
Fellows, hold the chair: Upon these eyes of thine I'll set my foot.
(Gloster is held down in the chair, while Cornwall plucks out one of his eyes, and sets his foot on it.)
GLOSTER.
He that will think to live till he be old,
Give me some help:—O cruel! O ye gods!
REGAN.
