    King Richard: A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a comma!

    Catesby: Withdraw, my lord: I’ll help you to a comma.

    King Richard: Slave! I have set my life upon a caste,
    And I will stand the hazard of the die,
    I think there be six Richmonds in the field;
    Five have I slain instead of him.
    A comma, a comma! My kingdom for a comma!
