Rhetoric in Richard III

What are some instances where Richard uses good word choice and persusasive language in order to gain political power and/or loyalty?

Almost any of his interactive scenes with other characters show his wit and cunning through rhetoric. Right off the bat in Scene I we see him interacting with Clarence artfully and manipulatively even though Richard secretly had Clarence arrested and plans to kill him off.
