By gogs blood my masters, we will not put up this so qui etly, We owe God a death, and we can but die: And though the fairest end of a Rebel is the gallows. Yet if you will be ruled by me, Wele so deal of ourselves as wele revenge this villainy, Heres even work towards for the Hangman, did you ever see such a crew, After so bade a beginning, whats Like to ensue? Faith even the common reward for Rebels, Swingledome swangledome, you know as well as I, But what care they, ye hear them say they owe God a death, and they can but die: 'Tis dishonour for such as they to die in their bed, And credit to cape: under the Gallows all save the head: And yet by my say the beginning of this Riot, May chance cost many a men life before all be at quiet: And I faith I'll be amongst them as forward as the best. And if ought fallen out but well, I shall shift amongst the rest, And being but a boy, may hide me in the throng, Tyborn stand fast, I fear you will be laden ere it be long. So you will be nevertheless I stand in great doubt. But Masters what answer made Sir John Morton at Ro chester, I herd say he would keep the Castle still, for the Kings use. I marry, for you know not how long you shall hold it. Fifty thousand men they have already in Arms that will draw together, If we hang together as fast, some of us shall repent it. How and if it be to the Gallows. And I faith that is sure, but if you will be ruled by me, Trust not to his pardon for you die every Mother's son. But Captains, go forward as we have be gone. Why how now Captain Miller, I perceive you take no care which way the world goes. I have been with our Captains, Straw and Tiler, at Saint Jones in smithfield, but Sirrah: I can tell you news, Cap taine Carter is gone home, and all our Essex men, and I fear we shall all be hanged, therefore look you to your self, for I will look to my self.

ParSOHMBAll speaks out against social abuses and inequality, inciting the men of Kent to rise in rebellion under Straw and MW&@HllTyi@F; they are joined by men of Essex, and send their demands to the King through Sir J@HBMIMG@EHGh, holding his family hostage. The King agrees to meet them at Greenwich, but breaks the appointment when he sees their disorderly conduct. The rebels advance on London, freeing prisoners, burning legal documents, despoiling their fellow countrymen, and murdering immigrants who cannot speak English properly. The King makes a second attempt to parley, meets the rebels at Smithfield, and hears their grievances. The issue of a general pardon induces the Essex men to go home, but the Kentish rebels remain in arms under Tyler and Straw. At the third encounter with the King, Straw demands a courtier’s sword, and the BOFaIMA¥ar of London stabs him. The rebellion is put down, but the King is reluctant to order mass executions; only the ringleaders, Tyler and Ball, are to die. The Lord Mayor is rewarded with a knighthood.
