    Interesting story, started by a lawsuit.
    I would be interested to know, why those three authors, two of them were brothers.

    Jack Cade. I fear neither sword nor fire.

    Smith the Weaver. [Aside] He need not fear the sword; for his coat is of proof.

    Dick the Butcher. [Aside] But methinks he should stand in fear of
    fire, being burnt i' the hand for stealing of sheep.

    Jack Cade. Be brave, then; for your captain is brave, and vows
    reformation. There shall be in England seven
    halfpenny loaves sold for a penny: the three-hooped
    pot; shall have ten hoops and I will make it felony
    to drink small beer: all the realm shall be in
    common; and in Cheapside shall my palfrey go to
    grass: and when I am king, as king I will be,—

    All. God save your majesty!

    Jack Cade. I thank you, good people: there shall be no money;
    all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will
    apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree
    like brothers and worship me their lord.

    Dick the Butcher. The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.


    ~ Henry VI, Part II, Act IV, Scene 2, William Shakespeare
