The Third Part of King Henry the Sixth

Act II. Scene IV.

Another Part of the Field

Excursions. Enter RICHARD and CLIFFORD.
Rich. Now, Clifford, I have singled thee alone.
Suppose this arm is for the Duke of York,	4
And this for Rutland; both bound to revenge,
Wert thou environ’d with a brazen wall.
Clif. Now, Richard, I am with thee here alone.
This is the hand that stabb’d thy father York,	8
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,
To execute the like upon thyself;	12
And so, have at thee! [They fight. WARWICK enters; CLIFFORD flies.
Rich. Nay, Warwick, single out some other chase;
For I myself will hunt this wolf to death. [Exeunt.
