Act V, Scene 4

Another part of the field.

Sir William 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!

Richard - Duke of Gloucester - Richard III after enthronement
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!

Sir William Catesby
Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.

Richard - Duke of Gloucester - Richard III after enthronement
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!
