Вероятно, это просто различные варианты перевода с немецкого, которые в равной степени имеют право на существование.

Встретился даже такой вариант перевода: The Moor has done his *work*the Moor may go (http://www.wordreference.com/enru/The Moor has done his work...[Fiesco%5C's%20Conspiracy%20at%20Genoa%20anonymous%20translator]), что еще раз свидетельствует о том, что переводы могут быть разные.

По-немецки не читаю, поэтому ничего сказать не могу :), есть ведь немецкий форум.

| А может, ‘The Moor has done his duty, let him go’ - http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/ideas/2011/04/the-european-security-treaty-%E2%80%98the-moor-has-done-his-duty-let-him-go%E2%80%99/ |
| Кроме того, затрудняюсь выбрать среди переводов слова 'Schuldigkeit', а именно: http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?CL=1&s=Schuldigkeit&l1=3; http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=3&s=Schuldigkeit&sc=0&l1=3&l2=2; http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=3&s=Schuldigkeit&sc=310&l1=3&l2=2; http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=3&s=Schuldigkeit&sc=368&l1=3&l2=2; http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=3&&s=Schuldigkeit&sc=890&l1=3&l2=2; http://www.multitran.ru/c/m.exe?a=3&&s=Schuldigkeit&sc=48&l1=3&l2=2 |
| И еще: в оригинале (у Шиллера) было: 'Der Mohr hat seine Arbeit getan, der Mohr kann gehen!' - http://www.zitate-online.de/literaturzitate/allgemein/18466/der-mohr-hat-seine-arbeit-getan-der-mohr-kann-gehen.html |

Comment: "Thanks to everybody who has participated in this discussion.
And special thanks to Tatyana who spent quite a time and effort on an extensive search and suggested all posible 'standard' options for the translation thus reconfirming the fact of life that EACH and EVERY phrase may be translated DIFFERENTLY depending on the context and on the translator's preference.
So, it's a pity that MacroJanus has hidden his 'The Moor has done; the Moor may go' as this, in my view, could become yet another good option for some particular contexts.
A side question arising from the discussion is how Schiller's 'Arbeit' got translated not only as 'work' but also as 'duty' and then reverse translated into German as 'Schuldigkeit'. But this question is for erudites in the EN-DE language pair. :-)
Thanks to all again!"

Oh, sorry - I didn't notice that Tatyana posted a pile of other versions, including this most standard one, along with her main choice.
