King Henry VI, Part 3: Act 2 Scene 4

Scene IV Another part of the field.

[Excursions. Enter RICHARD and CLIFFORD]

RICHARD

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.

CLIFFORD

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

To execute the like upon thyself;

And so, have at thee!

[They fight. WARWICK comes; CLIFFORD flies]

RICHARD

Nay Warwick, single out some other chase;

For I myself will hunt this wolf to death.

[Exeunt]
