[Sidenote: JACK CADE]

The following scene from _The Second Part of Henry VI._ although
Shakespeare places it in Kent, belongs to a little hamlet known as Cade
Street, close to Heathfield:--

Scene X.--Kent. IDEN'S _Garden._

_Enter_ CADE.

_Cade._ Fie on ambition! fie on myself; that have a sword, and yet
am ready to famish! These five days have I hid me in these woods,
and durst not peep out, for all the country is laid for me; but now
am I so hungry, that if I might have a lease of my life for a
thousand years, I could stay no longer. Wherefore, on a brick-wall
have I climbed into this garden, to see if I can eat grass, or pick
a sallet another while, which is not amiss to cool a man's stomach
this hot weather. And, I think, this word sallet was born to do me
good: for, many a time, but for a sallet, my brain-pan had been
cleft with a brown bill; and, many a time, when I have been dry,
and bravely marching, it hath served me instead of a quart-pot to
drink in; and now the word sallet must serve me to feed on.

_Enter_ IDEN, _with Servants, behind._

_Iden._ Lord! who would live turmoiled in the court,
And may enjoy such quiet walks as these!
This small inheritance, my father left me,
Contenteth me, and worth a monarchy.
I seek not to wax great by others' waning;
Or gather wealth I care not with what envy:
Sufficeth that I have maintains my state,
And sends the poor well pleased from my gate.

_Cade._ Here's the lord of the soil come to seize me for a stray,
for entering his fee-simple without leave. Ah, villain, thou wilt
betray me, and get a thousand crowns of the king by carrying my
head to him; but I'll make thee eat iron like an ostrich, and
swallow my sword like a great pin, ere thou and I part.

_Iden._ Why, rude companion, whatsoe'er thou be,
I know thee not; why then should I betray thee?
Is't not enough, to break into my garden,
And like a thief to come to rob my grounds,
Climbing my walls in spite of me, the owner,
But thou wilt brave me with these saucy terms?

_Cade._ Brave thee? ay, by the best blood that ever was broached,
and beard thee too. Look on me well: I have
