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.
Haven’t seen him since? Sir, sir, that can’t be: But if I weren’t the better part made of mercy, I wouldn’t be looking for an excuse To get my revenge, you’re right here. But watch out: Find your brother, wherever he is; Search for him with a candle; bring him back, dead or alive, Within a year, or you won’t be allowed To earn a living in our land anymore. We’ll seize your lands and everything you call yours, Until you can clear yourself by your brother’s words Of what we think about you.
