   Richard III
ACT V SCENE IV Another part of the field. 
 Alarum: excursions. Enter NORFOLK and forcesfighting; 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, 5
 Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death. 
 Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost! 
 Alarums. Enter KING RICHARD III 
KING RICHARD III A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse! 
CATESBY Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse. 
KING RICHARD III Slave, I have set my life upon a cast, 10
 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
