The Works of William Shakespeare [Cambridge Edition] [Vol. 5 of 9]

Excursions. Enter RICHARD and CLIFFORD.

♦ Rich. Now, Clifford, I have singled thee alone:

Suppose this arm is for the Duke of York,

And this for Rutland; both bound to revenge,

Wert thou environ’d with a brazen wall.

5 Clif. Now, Richard, I am with thee here alone:

This is the hand that stabb’d thy father York;

And this the hand that slew thy brother Rutland;

And here’s the heart that triumphs in their death

And cheers these hands that slew thy sire and brother

10 To execute the like upon thyself;

♦ And so, have at thee! [They fight. Warwick comes; Clifford flies.

Rich. Nay, Warwick, single out some other chase;

For I myself will hunt this wolf to death. [Exeunt.
