SCENE I. The Palace. Enter Duke, Lords, and Oliver.

Duke.
Not see him since? Sir, sir, that cannot be:
But were I not the better part made mercy,
I should not seek an absent argument5 note
Of my revenge, thou present: But look to it;
Find out thy brother, wheresoe'er he is;
Seek him with candle: bring him dead or living,
Within this twelvemonth, or turn thou no more
To seek a living in our territory.
Thy lands, and all things that thou dost call thine,
Worth seizure, do we seize into our hands;
'Till thou canst quit thee by thy brother's mouth,
Of what we think against thee.

Oli.
Oh, that your highness knew my heart in this:
I never lov'd my brother in my life.

Duke.
More villain thou.—Well, push him out of doors;

-- 315 --


And let my officers of such a nature
Make an extent upon his house and lands6 note
:
Do this expediently7 note, and turn him going. [Exeunt.
