ACT II SCENE IV Another part of the field. 
[Excursions. Enter RICHARD and CLIFFORD]

Wert thou environ'd with a brazen wall.
CLIFFORDNow, Richard, I am with thee here alone:5
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;10

For I myself will hunt this wolf to death.
[Exeunt]
