A horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse.
Shakespeare’s Richard III
CATESBY:
Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue!
The king enacts more wonders than a man,
Daring an opposite to every danger:
His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
KING RICHARD III:
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
CATESBY:
Withdraw, my lord; I’ll help you to a horse.
I find it ironic that the guy quoted as saying, “a horse, a horse. My kingdom for a horse,” was buried under a parking lot - literally covered with horsepower.
