As You Like It — Act 3, Scene 1: A room in the palace.

Duke Frederick brings in Oliver and presses him about Orlando, demanding to know why his brother has not been found. He says that, though mercy is holding him back somewhat, he still wants Orlando located wherever he is and brought back dead or alive within a year. Until Oliver can prove himself innocent through Orlando’s own testimony, Frederick orders Oliver’s lands and possessions seized. Oliver tries to defend himself by claiming he never loved Orlando, but that only makes Frederick more angry. The duke then orders him driven out at once and tells his officers to take control of Oliver’s house and property.

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.

O that your highness knew my heart in this!

I never loved my brother in my life.

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.
