"Then you're going to walk?" asked Dick. "Yes, Nephew Richard. There's grass almost all the way to the station, and I can keep on that. It will save my shoes."
Richard, how often have I in solitude repeated your name, learned from my servant. Richard, my hero! Oh! Richard! Oh, my king! I love you!" I would have folded her to my heart thrown myself at her feet. But this beautiful and shall I say it inconsistent woman repelled me. "No, we must not waste our moments in extravagances. Understand my case.
There'd be no work for the Maker if he did!" "I'm glad to see we're of one mind, grandfather!" said Richard. "Well, why shouldn't we if so be we're in the right mind!

He tells the spectators in the first prologue in Henry the Fifth: Think, when we talk of horses, that you see them Printing their proud hoofs in the receiving earth. When Richard the Third utters the famous exclamation, A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
Remember me to the Prince of Lowenberg, or whatever his name may be, and tell him that if the German Confederacy does not recall me soon I shall go to Paris and betray the length and breadth of Germany.
