(Alarum. Excursions. Enter Sir William Catesby)
l1l	Catesby	(calling)
		 Rescue, my lord of Norfolk! Rescue, rescue!
l2l		(To a soldier)
		 The King enacts more wonders than a man,
l3l		Daring an opposite to every danger.
l4l		His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
l5l		Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
l6l		(Calling)
		 Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
		(Alarums. Enter King Richard)
l7l	King Richard	 A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
l8l	Catesby	Withdraw, my lord. I’ll help you to a horse.
l9l	King Richard	Slave, I have set my life upon a cast,
l10l		And I will stand the hazard of the die.
l11l		I think there be six Richmonds in the field.
l12l		Five have I slain today, instead of him.
l13l		A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!
		(Exeunt)
