As You Like It (Folio 1, 1623)

 1179Actus Tertius. Scena Prima, 
 1180Enter Duke, Lords, & Oliuer.
 1181Du. Not see him since? Sir, sir, that cannot be:
 1182But were I not the better part made mercie,
 1183I should not seeke an absent argument
 1184Of my reuenge, thou present: but looke to it,
 1185Finde out thy brother wheresoere he is,
 1186Seeke him with Candle: bring him dead, or liuing
 1187Within this tweluemonth, or turne thou no more
 1188To seeke a liuing in our Territorie.
 1189Thy Lands and all things that thou dost call thine,
 1190Worth seizure, do we seize into our hands,
 1191Till thou canst quit thee by thy brothers mouth,
 1192Of what we thinke against thee.
 1193Ol. Oh that your Highnesse knew my heart in this:
 1194I neuer lou'd my brother in my life.
 1195Duke. More villaine thou. Well push him out of dores
 1196And let my officers of such a nature
 1197Make an extent vpon his house and Lands:
 1198Do this expediently, and turne him going.  Exeunt
