A horse. a horse, my kingdom for a horse from Shakespeare:

From Shakespeare's Richard III, 1594:

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.

A horse! My kingdom for a horse!"
