Arrogant and pathetic, hunchbacked villainous king, Richard III, is going to meet his fate at the hands of future king, Henry VII. King’s most memorable line actually sounds halfway valiant, as he refuses to leave the battle, though his horse bites the dust. However, this line has become a stuff of irrelevant quotation to some Shakespeare’s contemporaries, including satirists and playwrights. Cad John Marston has parodied King’s outcry as “A boat, a boat, a boat, a full hundred marks for a boat!”
