What sholde I lenger;' quod he; ‘do yow dwelle?'

He rong hem out a proces lyk a belle;  1615

Up…on hir fo; that highte Poliphete;

So heynous; that men mighte on it spete。



Answerde of this ech worse of hem than other;

And Poliphete they gonnen thus to warien;

‘An…honged be swich oon; were he my brother;  1620

And so he shal; for it ne may not varien。'

What sholde I lenger in this tale tarien?

Pleynly; alle at ones; they hir highten

To been hir helpe in al that ever they mighten。



Spak than Eleyne; and seyde; ‘Pandarus;  1625

Woot ought my lord; my brother; this matere;

I mene; Ector? Or woot it Troilus?'

He seyde; ‘Ye; but wole ye now me here?

Me thinketh this; sith Troilus is here;

It were good; if that ye wolde assente;  1630

She tolde hir…self him al this; er she wente。



‘For he wole have the more hir grief at herte;

By cause; lo; that she a lady is;

And; by your leve; I wol but right in sterte;

And do yow wite; and that anoon; y…wis;  1635

If that he slepe; or wole ought here of this。'

And in he lepte; and seyde him in his ere;

‘God have thy soule; y…brought have I thy bere!'



To smylen of this gan tho Troilus;

And Pandarus; with…oute rekeninge;  1640

Out wente anoon to Eleyne and Deiphebus;

And seyde hem; ‘So there be no taryinge;

Ne more pres; he wol wel that ye bringe

Criseyda; my lady; that is here;

And as he may enduren; he wole here。  1645



‘But wel ye woot; the chaumbre is but lyte;

And fewe folk may lightly make it warm;

Now loketh ye; (for I wol have no wyte;

To bringe in prees that mighte doon him harm

Or him disesen; for my bettre arm);  1650

Wher it be bet she byde til eft…sones;

Now loketh ye; that knowen what to doon is。



‘I sey for me; best is; as I can knowe;

That no wight in ne wente but ye tweye;

But it were I; for I can; in a throwe;  1655

Reherce hir cas unlyk that she can seye;

And after this; she may him ones preye

To ben good lord; in short; and take hir leve;

This may not muchel of his ese him reve。



‘And eek; for she is straunge; he wol forbere  1660

His ese; which that him thar nought for yow;

Eek other thing that toucheth not to here;

He wol me telle; I woot it wel right now;

That secret is; and for the tounes prow。'

And they; that no…thing knewe of his entente;  1665

With…oute more; to Troilus in they wente。



Eleyne; in al hir goodly softe wyse;

Gan him saluwe; and womanly to pleye;

And seyde; ‘Ywis; ye moste alweyes aryse!

Now fayre brother; beth al hool; I preye!'  1670

And gan hir arm right over his sholder leye;

And him with al hir wit to recomforte;

As she best coude; she gan him to disporte。



So after this quod she; ‘We yow biseke;

My dere brother; Deiphebus and I;  1675

For love of god; and so doth Pandare eke;

To been good lord and freend; right hertely;

Un…to Criseyde; which that certeinly

Receyveth wrong; as woot wel here Pandare;

That can hir cas wel bet than I declare。'  1680



This Pandarus gan newe his tunge affyle;

And al hir cas reherce; and that anoon;

Whan it was seyd; sone after; in a whyle;

Quod Troilus; ‘As sone as I may goon;

I wol right fayn with al my might ben oon;  1685

Have god my trouthe; hir cause to sustene。'

‘Good thrift have ye;' quod Eleyne the quene。



Quod Pandarus; ‘And it your wille be

That she may take hir leve; er that she go?'

‘O; elles god for…bede;' tho quod he;  1690

‘If that she vouche sauf for to do so。'

And with that word quod Troilus; ‘Ye two;

Deiphebus; and my suster leef and dere;

To yow have I to speke of o matere;



‘To been avysed by your reed the bettre':   1695

And fond; as hap was; at his beddes heed;

The copie of a tretis and a lettre;

That Ector hadde him sent to axen reed;

If swich a man was worthy to ben deed;

Woot I nought who; but in a grisly wyse  1700

He preyede hem anoon on it avyse。



Deiphebus gan this lettre to unfolde

In ernest greet; so did Eleyne the quene;

And rominge outward; fast it gan biholde;

Downward a steyre; in…to an herber grene。  1705

This ilke thing they redden hem bi…twene;

And largely; the mountaunce of an houre;

Thei gonne on it to reden and to poure。



Now lat hem rede; and turne we anoon

To Pandarus; that gan ful faste prye  1710

That al was wel; and out he gan to goon

In…to the grete chambre; and that in hye;

And seyde; ‘God save al this companye!

Com; nece myn; my lady quene Eleyne

Abydeth yow; and eek my lordes tweyne。  1715



‘Rys; take with yow your nece Antigone;

Or whom yow list; or no fors; hardily;

The lesse prees; the bet; com forth with me;

And loke that ye thonke humblely

Hem alle three; and; whan ye may goodly  1720

Your tyme y…see; taketh of hem your leve;

Lest we to longe his restes him bireve。'



Al innocent of Pandarus entente;

Quod tho Criseyde; ‘Go we; uncle dere';

And arm in arm inward with him she wente;  1725

Avysed wel hir wordes and hir chere;

And Pandarus; in ernestful manere;

Seyde; ‘Alle folk; for goddes love; I preye;

Stinteth right here; and softely yow pleye。



‘Aviseth yow what folk ben here with…inne;  1730

And in what plyt oon is; god him amende!

And inward thus ful softely biginne;

Nece; I conjure and heighly yow defende;

On his half; which that sowle us alle sende;

And in the vertue of corounes tweyne;  1735

Slee nought this man; that hath for yow this peyne!



‘Fy on the devel! Thenk which oon he is;

And in what plyt he lyth; com of anoon;

Thenk al swich taried tyd; but lost it nis!

That wol ye bothe seyn; whan ye ben oon。  1740

Secoundelich; ther yet devyneth noon

Up…on yow two; come of now; if ye conne;

Whyl folk is blent; lo; al the tyme is wonne!



‘In titering; and pursuite; and delayes;

The folk devyne at wagginge of a stree;  1745

And though ye wolde han after merye dayes;

Than dar ye nought; and why? For she; and she

Spak swich a word; thus loked he; and he;

Lest tyme I loste; I dar not with yow dele;

Com of therfore; and bringeth him to hele。'  1750



But now to yow; ye lovers that ben here;

Was Troilus nought in a cankedort;

That lay; and mighte whispringe of hem here;

And thoughte; ‘O lord; right now renneth my sort

Fully to dye; or han anoon comfort';  1755

And was the firste tyme he shulde hir preye

Of love; O mighty god; what shal he seye?

BOOK III



Incipit prohemium tercii libri。



O blisful light of whiche the bemes clere  1

Adorneth al the thridde hevene faire!

O sonnes lief; O Ioves doughter dere;

Plesaunce of love; O goodly debonaire;

In gentil hertes ay redy to repaire!  5

O verray cause of hele and of gladnesse;

Y…heried be thy might and thy goodnesse!



In hevene and helle; in erthe and salte see

Is felt thy might; if that I wel descerne;

As man; brid; best; fish; herbe and grene tree  10

Thee fele in tymes with vapour eterne。

God loveth; and to love wol nought werne;

And in this world no lyves creature;

With…outen love; is worth; or may endure。



Ye Ioves first to thilke effectes glade;  15

Thorugh which that thinges liven alle and be;

Comeveden; and amorous him made

On mortal thing; and as yow list; ay ye

Yeve him in love ese or adversitee;

And in a thousand formes doun him sente  20

For love in erthe; and whom yow liste; he hente。



Ye fierse Mars apeysen of his ire;

And; as yow list; ye maken hertes digne;

Algates; hem that ye wol sette a…fyre;

They dreden shame; and vices they resigne;  25

Ye do hem corteys be; fresshe and benigne;

And hye or lowe; after a wight entendeth;

The Ioyes that he hath; your might him sendeth。



Ye holden regne and hous in unitee;

Ye soothfast cause of frendship been also;  30

Ye knowe al thilke covered qualitee

Of thinges which that folk on wondren so;

Whan they can not construe how it may io;

She loveth him; or why he loveth here;

As why this fish; and nought that; comth to were。  35



Ye folk a lawe han set in universe;

And this knowe I by hem that loveres be;

That who…so stryveth with yow hath the werse:

Now; lady bright; for thy benignitee;

At reverence of hem that serven thee;  40

Whos clerk I am; so techeth me devyse

Som Ioye of that is felt in thy servyse。



Ye in my naked herte sentement

Inhelde; and do me shewe of thy swetnesse。 

Caliope; thy vois be now present;  45

For now is nede; sestow not my destresse;

How I mot telle anon…right the gladnesse

Of Troilus; to Venus heryinge?

To which gladnes; who nede hath; god him bringe!

 Lay al this mene whyle Troilus;  50

Recordinge his lessoun in this manere;

‘Ma fey!' thought he; ‘Thus wole I seye and thus;

Thus wole I pleyne unto my lady dere;

That word is good; and this shal be my chere;

This nil I not foryeten in no wyse。'  55

God leve him werken as he can devyse!



And; lord; so that his herte gan to quappe;

Heringe hir come; and shorte for to syke!

And Pandarus; that ledde hir by the lappe;

Com ner; and gan in at the curtin pyke;  60

And seyde; ‘God do bote on alle syke!

See; who is here yow comen to visyte;

Lo; here is she that is your deeth to wyte。'



Ther…with it semed as he wepte almost;

‘A ha;' quod Troilus so rewfully;  65

‘Wher me be wo; O mighty god; thow wost!

Who is al there? I se nought trewely。'

‘Sire;' quod Criseyde; ‘it is Pandare and I。'

‘Ye; swete herte? Allas; I may nought ryse

To knele; and do yow honour in som wyse。'  70



And dressede him upward; and she right tho

Gan bothe here hondes softe upon him leye;

‘O; for the love of god; do ye not so

To me;' quod she; ‘Ey! What is this to seye?

Sire; come am I to yow for causes tweye;  75

First; yow to thonke; and of your lordshipe eke

Continuance I wolde yow biseke。'



This Troilus; that herde his lady preye

Of lordship him; wex neither quik ne deed;

Ne mighte a word for shame to it seye;  80

Al…though men sholde smyten of his heed。

But lord; so he wex sodeinliche reed;

And sire; his lesson; that he wende conne;

To preyen hir; is thurgh his wit y…ronne。



Cryseyde al this aspyede wel y…nough;  85

For she was wys; and lovede him never…the…lasse;

Al nere he malapert; or made it tough;

Or was to bold; to singe a fool a masse。

But whan his shame gan somwhat to passe;

His resons; as I may my rymes holde;  90

In chaunged vois; right for his verray drede;

Which vois eek quook; and ther…to his manere
