KING RICHARD III
ACT V
SCENE III Bosworth Field.
[Enter KING RICHARD III in arms, with NORFOLK,
SURREY, and others]
KING RICHARD III Here pitch our tents, even here in Bosworth field.
My Lord of Surrey, why look you so sad?
SURREY My heart is ten times lighter than my looks.
KING RICHARD III My Lord of Norfolk,--
NORFOLK Here, most gracious liege.
KING RICHARD III Norfolk, we must have knocks; ha! must we not?
NORFOLK We must both give and take, my gracious lord.
KING RICHARD III Up with my tent there! here will I lie tonight;
But where to-morrow? Well, all's one for that.
Who hath descried the number of the foe?
NORFOLK Six or seven thousand is their utmost power.
KING RICHARD III Why, our battalion trebles that account:
Besides, the king's name is a tower of strength,
Which they upon the adverse party want.
Up with my tent there! Valiant gentlemen,
Let us survey the vantage of the field
Call for some men of sound direction
Let's want no discipline, make no delay,
For, lords, to-morrow is a busy day.
[Exeunt]
[Enter, on the other side of the field, RICHMOND,
Sir William Brandon, OXFORD, and others. Some of
the Soldiers pitch RICHMOND's tent]
RICHMOND The weary sun hath made a golden set,
And by the bright track of his fiery car,
Gives signal, of a goodly day to-morrow.
