     Act III 

    
    ACT III: SCENE I	A room in the palace.

    
    	Enter DUKE FREDERICK, Lords, and OLIVER
    
    DUKE FREDERICK	Not see him since? Sir, sir, that cannot be:
    	But were I not the better part made mercy,
    	I should not seek an absent argument
    	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 brothers mouth
    	Of what we think against thee.
    
    OLIVER	O that your highness knew my heart in this!
    	I never loved my brother in my life.
    
    DUKE FREDERICK	More villain thou. Well, push him out of doors;
    	And let my officers of such a nature
    	Make an extent upon his house and lands:
    	Do this expediently and turn him going.
    
    	Exeunt
