Another part of the Field.
Another part of the Field.
| [Alarum; excursions. Enter NORFOLK and forces; to him CATESBY.] |
| CATESBY: |
| Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue! |
| The king enacts more wonders than a man, |
| 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! |
| [Alarum. Enter KING RICHARD.] |
| KING RICHARD: |
| A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! |
| CATESBY: |
| Withdraw, my lord! I'll help you to a horse. |
| KING RICHARD: |
| 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: |
| Five have I slain to-day instead of him.— |
| A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! |
| [Exeunt.] |
