And dredelees; his ire; day and night;  1755

Ful cruelly the Grekes ay aboughte;

And alwey most this Diomede he soughte。



And ofte tyme; I finde that they mette

With blody strokes and with wordes grete;

Assayinge how hir speres weren whette;  1760

And god it woot; with many a cruel hete

Gan Troilus upon his helm to bete。

But natheles; fortune it nought ne wolde;

Of others hond that either deyen sholde。 



And if I hadde y…taken for to wryte  1765

The armes of this ilke worthy man;

Than wolde I of his batailles endyte。

But for that I to wryte first bigan

Of his love; I have seyd as that I can。

His worthy dedes; who…so list hem here;  1770

Reed Dares; he can telle hem alle y…fere。



Bisechinge every lady bright of hewe;

And every gentil womman; what she be;

That al be that Criseyde was untrewe;

That for that gilt she be not wrooth with me。  1775

Ye may hir gilt in othere bokes see;

And gladlier I wole wryten; if yow leste;

Penolopees trouthe and good Alceste。



Ne I sey not this al…only for these men;

But most for wommen that bitraysed be  1780

Through false folk; god yeve hem sorwe; amen!

That with hir grete wit and subtiltee

Bitrayse yow! And this commeveth me

To speke; and in effect yow alle I preye;

Beth war of men; and herkeneth what I seye!   1785



Go; litel book; go litel myn tragedie;

Ther god thy maker yet; er that he dye;

So sende might to make in som comedie!

But litel book; no making thou nenvye;

But subgit be to alle poesye;  1790

And kis the steppes; wher…as thou seest pace

Virgile; Ovyde; Omer; Lucan; and Stace。



And for ther is so greet diversitee

In English and in wryting of our tonge;

So preye I god that noon miswryte thee;  1795

Ne thee mismetre for defaute of tonge。

And red wher…so thou be; or elles songe;

That thou be understonde I god beseche!

But yet to purpos of my rather speche。 



The wraththe; as I began yow for to seye;  1800

Of Troilus; the Grekes boughten dere;

For thousandes his hondes maden deye;

As he that was with…outen any pere;

Save Ector; in his tyme; as I can here。

But weylawey; save only goddes wille;  1805

Dispitously him slough the fiers Achille。



And whan that he was slayn in this manere;

His lighte goost ful blisfully is went

Up to the holownesse of the seventh spere;

In convers letinge every element;  1810

And ther he saugh; with ful avysement;

The erratik sterres; herkeninge armonye

With sownes fulle of hevenish melodye。



And doun from thennes faste he gan avyse

This litel spot of erthe; that with the see  1815

Embraced is; and fully gan despyse

This wrecched world; and held al vanitee

To respect of the pleyn felicitee

That is in hevene above; and at the laste;

Ther he was slayn; his loking doun he caste;  1820



And in him…self he lough right at the wo

Of hem that wepten for his deeth so faste;

And dampned al our werk that folweth so

The blinde lust; the which that may not laste;

And sholden al our herte on hevene caste。  1825

And forth he wente; shortly for to telle;

Ther as Mercurie sorted him to dwelle。 



Swich fyn hath; lo; this Troilus for love;

Swich fyn hath al his grete worthinesse;

Swich fyn hath his estat real above;  1830

Swich fyn his lust; swich fyn hath his noblesse;

Swich fyn hath false worldes brotelnesse。

And thus bigan his lovinge of Criseyde;

As I have told; and in this wyse he deyde。



O yonge fresshe folkes; he or she;  1835

In which that love up groweth with your age;

Repeyreth hoom from worldly vanitee;

And of your herte up…casteth the visage

To thilke god that after his image

Yow made; and thinketh al nis but a fayre  1840

This world; that passeth sone as floures fayre。



And loveth him; the which that right for love

Upon a cros; our soules for to beye;

First starf; and roos; and sit in hevene a…bove;

For he nil falsen no wight; dar I seye;  1845

That wol his herte al hoolly on him leye。

And sin he best to love is; and most meke;

What nedeth feyned loves for to seke?



Lo here; of Payens corsed olde rytes;

Lo here; what alle hir goddes may availle;  1850

Lo here; these wrecched worldes appetytes;

Lo here; the fyn and guerdon for travaille

Of Iove; Appollo; of Mars; of swich rascaille!

Lo here; the forme of olde clerkes speche

In poetrye; if ye hir bokes seche。   1855



O moral Gower; this book I directe

To thee; and to the philosophical Strode;

To vouchen sauf; ther nede is; to corecte;

Of your benignitees and zeles gode。

And to that sothfast Crist; that starf on rode;  1860

With al myn herte of mercy ever I preye;

And to the lord right thus I speke and seye:



Thou oon; and two; and three; eterne on…lyve;

That regnest ay in three and two and oon;

Uncircumscript; and al mayst circumscryve;  1865

Us from visible and invisible foon

Defende; and to thy mercy; everichoon;

So make us; Iesus; for thy grace digne;

For love of mayde and moder thyn benigne! Amen。



Explicit Liber Troili et Criseydis。
