Richard ♂
Now, Clifford, I have singled thee alone:
Suppose this arm is for the Duke of York,

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!
