SCENE IX. —A Wood. Enter Catesby, L. H. with Norfolk, who has got one of his Legs bound up.

Cat.
Come, d&wblank;n the gout, and stir your stumps,
Though fortune's given you many bumps
  Yet never mind her,
For if for her, you care two dumps,
  You'll be behind her.
[Exeunt, L. H. Enter King Richard in great disorder, on foot, followed by Ratcliff, L. H.

King R.
An ass! an ass! half a sovereign for an ass.

Rat.
This way, my lord; as I did pass,
I saw one in the field at grass.

-- 55 --

King R.
Asses now are all a farce. [Ratcliff runs off, L. H.
No! I'm determin'd not to yield,
If there should be six Richmonds in the field.
An ass! an ass! a sovereign for an ass.
[Exit, R. H.
