Duke Frederick, Lords and Oliver enter.
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 argumentOf my revenge, thou present. But look to it:Find out thy brother wheresoe’er he is.Seek him with candle. Bring him dead or livingWithin this twelvemonth, or turn thou no moreTo seek a living in our territory.Thy lands, and all things that thou dost call thineWorth seizure, do we seize into our hands,Till thou canst quit thee by thy brother’s mouthOf what we think against thee.
You haven't seen him since? Sir, sir, that cannot be. If mercy did not make up the greater part of my nature, I would not look for an absent target for my revenge when you are here. But take care: find your brother, wherever he is. Search every dark corner. Bring him here dead or alive within the next twelve months, or never return to make your living in our territory. We seize your lands and everything you call yours that is worth seizing, until your brother's own testimony can clear you of our suspicions.
Oliver
O that your highness knew my heart in this:I never loved my brother in my life.
If only your Highness knew my feelings in this matter. I have 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 natureMake an extent upon his house and lands.Do this expediently, and turn him going.
That makes you all the more a villain. Well, throw him out, and have the officers responsible for such matters value and seize his house and lands. Do this immediately, and send him on his way.
Exeunt.
They leave.

Is the modern version the whole text?
Yes. Every speech of the play is here in plain modern English, in the same order, beside Shakespeare's own words.
