[Alarum: excursions. Enter NORFOLK and forces fighting; to him CATESBY]
- Sir William Catesby. Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue!
The king enacts more wonders than a man,
3875 Daring an opposite to every danger:
His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
[Alarums. Enter KING RICHARD III]
- Richard III (Duke of Gloucester). A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
- Sir William Catesby. Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.
- Richard III (Duke of Gloucester). Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
And I will stand the hazard of the die:
I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
3885 Five have I slain to-day instead of him.
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
[Exeunt]
