Of yow; that feling han in loves art;

And putte it al in your discrecioun

To encrese or maken diminucioun  1335

Of my langage; and that I yow bi…seche;

But now to purpos of my rather speche。



Thise ilke two; that ben in armes laft;

So looth to hem a…sonder goon it were;

That ech from other wende been biraft;  1340

Or elles; lo; this was hir moste fere;

That al this thing but nyce dremes were;

For which ful ofte ech of hem seyde; ‘O swete;

Clippe ich yow thus; or elles I it mete?'



And; lord! So he gan goodly on hir see;  1345

That never his look ne bleynte from hir face;

And seyde; ‘O dere herte; may it be

That it be sooth; that ye ben in this place?'

‘Ye; herte myn; god thank I of his grace!'

Quod tho Criseyde; and therwith…al him kiste;  1350

That where his spirit was; for Ioye he niste。



This Troilus ful ofte hir eyen two

Gan for to kisse; and seyde; ‘O eyen clere;

It were ye that wroughte me swich wo;

Ye humble nettes of my lady dere!  1355

Though ther be mercy writen in your chere;

God wot; the text ful hard is; sooth; to finde;

How coude ye with…outen bond me binde?'



Therwith he gan hir faste in armes take;

And wel an hundred tymes gan he syke;  1360

Nought swiche sorwfull sykes as men make

For wo; or elles whan that folk ben syke;

But esy sykes; swiche as been to lyke;

That shewed his affeccioun with…inne;

Of swiche sykes coude he nought bilinne。  1365



Sone after this they speke of sondry thinges;

As fil to purpos of this aventure;

And pleyinge entrechaungeden hir ringes;

Of which I can nought tellen no scripture;

But wel I woot; a broche; gold and asure;  1370

In whiche a ruby set was lyk an herte;

Criseyde him yaf; and stak it on his sherte。



Lord! trowe ye; a coveitous; a wreccbe;

That blameth love and holt of it despyt;

That; of tho pens that he can mokre and kecche;  1375

Was ever yet y…yeve him swich delyt;

As is in love; in oo poynt; in som plyt?

Nay; doutelees; for also god me save;

So parfit Ioye may no nigard have!



They wol sey ‘Yis;' but lord! So that they lye;  1380

Tho bisy wrecches; ful of wo and drede!

They callen love a woodnesse or folye;

But it shal falle hem as I shal yow rede;

They shul forgo the whyte and eke the rede;

And live in wo; ther god yeve hem mischaunce;  1385

And every lover in his trouthe avaunce!



As wolde god; tho wrecches; that dispyse

Servyse of love; hadde eres al…so longe

As hadde Myda; ful of coveityse;

And ther…to dronken hadde as hoot and stronge  1390

As Crassus dide for his affectis wronge;

To techen hem that they ben in the vyce;

And loveres nought; al…though they holde hem nyce!



Thise ilke two; of whom that I yow seye;

Whan that hir hertes wel assured were;  1395

Tho gonne they to speken and to pleye;

And eek rehercen how; and whanne; and where;

They knewe hem first; and every wo and fere

That passed was; but al swich hevinesse;

I thanke it god; was tourned to gladnesse。  1400



And ever…mo; whan that hem fel to speke

Of any thing of swich a tyme agoon;

With kissing al that tale sholde breke;

And fallen in a newe Ioye anoon;

And diden al hir might; sin they were oon;  1405

For to recoveren blisse and been at ese;

And passed wo with Ioye countrepeyse。



Reson wil not that I speke of sleep;

For it accordeth nought to my matere;

God woot; they toke of that ful litel keep;  1410

But lest this night; that was to hem so dere;

Ne sholde in veyn escape in no manere;

It was biset in Ioye and bisinesse

Of al that souneth in…to gentilnesse。



But whan the cok; comune astrologer;  1415

Gan on his brest to bete; and after crowe;

And Lucifer; the dayes messager;

Gan for to ryse; and out hir bemes throwe;

And estward roos; to him that coude it knowe;

Fortuna maior; than anoon Criseyde;  1420

With herte sore; to Troilus thus seyde: 



‘Myn hertes lyf; my trist and my plesaunce;

That I was born; allas! What me is wo;

That day of us mot make desseveraunce!

For tyme it is to ryse; and hennes go;  1425

Or elles I am lost for evermo!

O night; allas! Why niltow over us hove;

As longe as whanne Almena lay by Iove?



‘O blake night; as folk in bokes rede;

That shapen art by god this world to hyde  1430

At certeyn tymes with thy derke wede;

That under that men mighte in reste abyde;

Wel oughte bestes pleyne; and folk thee chyde;

That there…as day with labour wolde us breste;

That thou thus fleest; and deynest us nought reste!  1435



‘Thou dost; allas! To shortly thyn offyce;

Thou rakel night; ther god; makere of kinde;

Thee; for thyn hast and thyn unkinde vyce;

So faste ay to our hemi…spere binde。

That never…more under the ground thou winde!  1440

For now; for thou so hyest out of Troye;

Have I forgon thus hastily my Ioye!'



This Troilus; that with tho wordes felte;

As thoughte him tho; for pietous distresse;

The blody teres from his herte melte;  1445

As he that never yet swich hevinesse

Assayed hadde; out of so greet gladnesse;

Gan therwith…al Criseyde his lady dere

In armes streyne; and seyde in this manere: 



‘O cruel day; accusour of the Ioye  1450

That night and love han stole and faste y…wryen;

A…cursed be thy coming in…to Troye;

For every bore hath oon of thy bright yen!

Envyous day; what list thee so to spyen?

What hastow lost; why sekestow this place;  1455

Ther god thy lyght so quenche; for his grace?



‘Allas! What han thise loveres thee agilt;

Dispitous day? Thyn be the pyne of helle!

For many a lovere hastow shent; and wilt;

Thy pouring in wol no…wher lete hem dwelle。  1460

What proferestow thy light here for to selle?

Go selle it hem that smale seles graven;

We wol thee nought; us nedeth no day haven。'



And eek the sonne Tytan gan he chyde;

And seyde; ‘O fool; wel may men thee dispyse;  1465

That hast the Dawing al night by thy syde;

And suffrest hir so sone up fro thee ryse;

For to disesen loveres in this wyse。

What! Holde your bed ther; thou; and eek thy Morwe!

I bidde god; so yeve yow bothe sorwe!'  1470



Therwith ful sore he sighte; and thus he seyde;

‘My lady right; and of my wele or wo

The welle and rote; O goodly myn; Criseyde;

And shal I ryse; allas! And shal I go?

Now fele I that myn herte moot a…two!  1475

For how sholde I my lyf an houre save;

Sin that with yow is al the lyf I have?



‘What shal I doon; for certes; I not how;

Ne whanne; allas! I shal the tyme see;

That in this plyt I may be eft with yow;  1480

And of my lyf; god woot; how that shal be;

Sin that desyr right now so byteth me;

That I am deed anoon; but I retourne。


How sholde I longe; allas! Fro yow soiourne?



‘But nathelees; myn owene lady bright;  1485

Yit were it so that I wiste outrely;

That I; your humble servaunt and your knight;

Were in your herte set so fermely

As ye in myn; the which thing; trewely;

Me lever were than thise worldes tweyne;  1490

Yet sholde I bet enduren al my peyne。'



To that Cryseyde answerde right anoon;

And with a syk she seyde; ‘O herte dere;

The game; y…wis; so ferforth now is goon;

That first shal Phebus falle fro his spere;  1495

And every egle been the dowves fere;

And every roche out of his place sterte;

Er Troilus out of Criseydes herte!



‘Ye he so depe in…with myn herte grave;

That; though I wolde it turne out of my thought;  1500

As wisly verray god my soule save;

To dyen in the peyne; I coude nought!

And; for the love of god that us bath wrought;

Lat in your brayn non other fantasye

So crepe; that it cause me to dye!  1505



‘And that ye me wolde han as faste in minde

As I have yow; that wolde I yow bi…seche;

And; if I wiste soothly that to finde;

God mighte not a poynt my Ioyes eche!

But; herte myn; with…oute more speche;  1510

Beth to me trewe; or elles were it routhe;

For I am thyn; by god and by my trouthe!



‘Beth glad for…thy; and live in sikernesse;

Thus seyde I never er this; ne shal to mo;

And if to yow it were a gret gladnesse  1515

To turne ayein; soone after that ye go;

As fayn wolde I as ye; it were so;

As wisly god myn herte bringe at reste!'

And him in armes took; and ofte keste。



Agayns his wil; sin it mot nedes be;  1520

This Troilus up roos; and faste him cledde;

And in his armes took his lady free

An hundred tyme; and on his wey him spedde;

And with swich wordes as his herte bledde;

He seyde; ‘Farewel; mr dere herte swete;  1525

Ther god us graunte sounde and sone to mete!'



To which no word for sorwe she answerde;

So sore gan his parting hir destreyne;

And Troilus un…to his palays ferde;

As woo bigon as she was; sooth to seyne;  1530

So hard him wrong of sharp desyr the peyne

For to ben eft there he was in plesaunce;

That it may never out of his remembraunce。



Retorned to his real palais; sone

He softe in…to his bed gan for to slinke;  1535

To slepe longe; as he was wont to done;

But al for nought; he may wel ligge and winke;

But sleep ne may ther in his herte sinke;

Thenkinge how she; for whom desyr him brende;

A thousand…fold was worth more than he wende。  1540



And in his thought gan up and doun to winde

Hir wordes alle; and every countenaunce;

And fermely impressen in his minde

The leste poynt that to him was plesaunce;

And verrayliche; of thilke remembraunce;  1545

Desyr al newe him brende; and lust to brede

Gan more than erst; and yet took he non hede。



Criseyde also; right in the same wyse;

Of Troilus gan in hir herte shette

His worthinesse; his lust; his dedes wyse;  1550

His gentilesse; and how she with him mette;

Thonkinge love he so wel hir bisette;

Desyring eft to have hir herte dere

In swich a plyt; she dorste make him chere。



Pandare; a…morwe which that comen was  1555

Un…to his nece; and gan hir fayre grete;

Seyde; ‘Al this night so reyned it; allas!

That al my drede is that ye; nece swete;

Han litel layser had to slepe and mete;

Al night;' quod he; ‘hath reyn so do me wake;  1560

That som of us; I trowe; hir hedes ake。'



And ner he com; and seyde; ‘How stont it now

This mery morwe; nece; how can ye fare?'

Criseyde answerde; ‘Never the bet for yow;

Fox that ye been; god yeve youre herte care!  1565

God help me so; ye caused al this fare;

Trow I;' quod she; ‘for alle your wordes whyte;

O! Who…so seeth yow knoweth yow ful lyte!'



With that she gan hir face for to wrye

With the shete; and wex for shame al reed;  1570

And Pandarus gan under for to prye;

And seyde; ‘Nece; if that I shal be deed;

Have here a swerd; and smyteth of myn heed。'

With that his arm al sodeynly he thriste

Under hir nekke; and at the laste hir kiste。  1575



I passe al that which chargeth nought to seye;

What! God foryaf his deeth; and she al…so

Foryaf; and with hir uncle gan to pleye;

For other cause was ther noon than so。

But of this thing right to the effect
