[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.]
