Note 1 — GEORGE BRANDES (continued 6)
William Archer translation
In this play the king says:—
"Ah, Tom, your former life greeves me, And makes me to abandon and abolish your company for ever, And therefore not upon pain of death to approach my presence By ten miles' space, then if I heare well of you, It may be I will do somewhat for you."
In Shakespeare:—
"Till then I banish thee on pain of death As I have done the rest of my misleaders, Not to come near our person by ten mile. For competence of life I will allow you."
