Clifford.
&mlquo;Rich.
&mlquo;Now, Clifford, I have singled thee alone2 note
:
&mlquo;Suppose, this arm is for the duke of York,
&mlquo;And this for Rutland; both bound to revenge,
&mlquo;Wert thou environ'd with a brazen wall3 note
.
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,
To execute the like upon thyself;
And so, have at thee.
[They fight. Warwick enters, Clifford flies.
&mlquo;Rich.
&mlquo;Nay, Warwick4 note
, single out some other chase;
&mlquo;For I myself will hunt this wolf to death.
[Exeunt.
