Under hir brest his longe clawes sette;
And out hir herte he rente; and that a…noon;
And dide his herte in…to hir brest to goon;
Of which she nought agroos; ne no…thing smerte; 930
And forth he fleigh; with herte left for herte。
Now lat hir slepe; and we our tales holde
Of Troilus; that is to paleys riden;
Fro the scarmuch; of the whiche I tolde;
And in his chaumbre sit; and hath abiden 935
Til two or three of his messages yeden
For Pandarus; and soughten him ful faste;
Til they him founde and broughte him at the laste。
This Pandarus com leping in at ones;
And seiyde thus: ‘Who hath ben wel y…bete 940
To…day with swerdes; and with slinge…stones;
But Troilus; that hath caught him an hete?'
And gan to Iape; and seyde; ‘Lord; so ye swete!
But rys; and lat us soupe and go to reste;' 944
And he answerde him; ‘Do we as thee leste。'
With al the haste goodly that they mighte;
They spedde hem fro the souper un…to bedde;
And every wight out at the dore him dighte;
And wher him liste upon his wey him spedde;
But Troilus; that thoughte his herte bledde 950
For wo; til that he herde som tydinge;
He seyde; ‘Freend; shal I now wepe or singe?'
Quod Pandarus; ‘Ly stille and lat me slepe;
And don thyn hood; thy nedes spedde be;
And chese; if thou wolt singe or daunce or lepe; 955
At shorte wordes; thow shal trowe me。
Sire; my nece wol do wel by thee;
And love thee best; by god and by my trouthe;
But lak of pursuit make it in thy slouthe。
‘For thus ferforth I have thy work bigonne; 960
Fro day to day; til this day; by the morwe;
Hir love of freendship have I to thee wonne;
And also hath she leyd hir feyth to borwe。
Algate a foot is hameled of thy sorwe。'
What sholde I lenger sermon of it holde? 965
As ye han herd bifore; al he him tolde。
But right as floures; thorugh the colde of night
Y…closed; stoupen on hir stalke lowe;
Redressen hem a…yein the sonne bright;
And spreden on hir kinde cours by rowe; 970
Right so gan tho his eyen up to throwe
This Troilus; and seyde; ‘O Venus dere;
Thy might; thy grace; y…heried be it here!'
And to Pandare he held up bothe his hondes;
And seyde; ‘Lord; al thyn be that I have; 975
For I am hool; al brosten been my bondes;
A thousand Troians who so that me yave;
Eche after other; god so wis me save;
Ne mighte me so gladen; lo; myn herte;
It spredeth so for Ioye; it wol to…sterte! 980
‘But Lord; how shal I doon; how shal I liven?
Whan shal I next my dere herte see?
How shal this longe tyme a…wey be driven;
Til that thou be ayein at hir fro me?
Thou mayst answere; 〃A…byd; a…byd;〃 but he 985
That hangeth by the nekke; sooth to seyne;
In grete disese abydeth for the peyne。'
‘Al esily; now; for the love of Marte;'
Quod Pandarus; ‘for every thing hath tyme;
So longe abyd til that the night departe; 990
For al so siker as thow lyst here by me;
And god toforn; I wol be there at pryme;
And for thy werk somwhat as I shal seye;
Or on som other wight this charge leye。
‘For pardee; god wot; I have ever yit 995
Ben redy thee to serve; and to this night
Have I nought fayned; but emforth my wit
Don al thy lust; and shal with al my might。
Do now as I shal seye; and fare a…right;
And if thou nilt; wyte al thy…self thy care; 1000
On me is nought along thyn yvel fare。
‘I woot wel that thow wyser art than I
A thousand fold; but if I were as thou;
God help me so; as I wolde outrely;
Right of myn owene hond; wryte hir right now 1005
A lettre; in which I wolde hir tellen how
I ferde amis; and hir beseche of routhe;
Now help thy…self; and leve it not for slouthe。
‘And I my…self shal ther…with to hir goon;
And whan thou wost that I am with hir there; 1010
Worth thou up…on a courser right anoon;
Ye; hardily; right in thy beste gere;
And ryd forth by the place; as nought ne were;
And thou shalt finde us; if I may; sittinge
At som windowe; in…to the strete lokinge。 1015
‘And if thee list; than maystow us saluwe;
And up…on me make thy contenaunce;
But; by thy lyf; be war and faste eschuwe
To tarien ought; god shilde us fro mischaunce!
Ryd forth thy wey; and hold thy governaunce; 1020
And we shal speke of thee som…what; I trowe;
Whan Thou art goon; to do thyne eres glowe!
‘Touching thy lettre; thou art wys y…nough;
I woot thow nilt it digneliche endyte;
As make it with thise argumentes tough; 1025
Ne scrivenish or craftily thou it wryte;
Beblotte it with thy teres eek a lyte;
And if thou wryte a goodly word al softe;
Though it be good; reherce it not to ofte。
‘For though the beste harpour upon lyve 1030
Wolde on the beste souned Ioly harpe
That ever was; with alle his fingres fyve;
Touche ay o streng; or ay o werbul harpe;
Were his nayles poynted never so sharpe;
It shulde maken every wight to dulle; 1035
To here his glee; and of his strokes fulle。
‘Ne Iompre eek no discordaunt thing y…fere;
As thus; to usen termes of phisyk;
In loves termes; hold of thy matere
The forme alwey; and do that it be lyk; 1040
For if a peyntour wolde peynte a pyk
With asses feet; and hede it as an ape;
It cordeth nought; so nere it but a Iape。'
This counseyl lyked wel to Troilus;
But; as a dreedful lover; he seyde this: 1045
‘Allas; my dere brother Pandarus;
I am ashamed for to wryte; y…wis;
Lest of myn innocence I seyde a…mis;
Or that she nolde it for despyt receyve;
Thanne were I deed; ther mighte it no…thing weyve。' 1050
To that Pandare answerde; ‘If thee lest;
Do that I seye; and lat me therwith goon;
For by that lord that formed est and west;
I hope of it to bringe answere anoon
Right of hir hond; and if that thou nilt noon; 1055
Lat be; and sory mote he been his lyve;
Ayeins thy lust that helpeth thee to thryve。'
Quod Troilus; ‘Depardieux; I assente;
Sin that thee list; I will aryse and wryte;
And blisful god preye ich; with good entente; 1060
The vyage; and the lettre I shal endyte;
So spede it; and thou; Minerva; the whyte;
Yif thou me wit my lettre to devyse:'
And sette him doun; and wroot right in this wyse。
First he gan hir his righte lady calle; 1065
His hertes lyf; his lust; his sorwes leche;
His blisse; and eek these othere termes alle;
That in swich cas these loveres alle seche;
And in ful humble wyse; as in his speche;
He gan him recomaunde un…to hir grace; 1070
To telle al how; it axeth muchel space。
And after this; ful lowly he hir prayde
To be nought wrooth; though he; of his folye;
So hardy was to hir to wryte; and seyde;
That love it made; or elles moste he dye; 1075
And pitously gan mercy for to crye;
And after that he seyde; and ley ful loude;
Him…self was litel worth; and lesse he coude;
And that she sholde han his conning excused;
That litel was; and eek he dredde hir so; 1080
And his unworthinesse he ay acused;
And after that; than gan he telle his woo;
But that was endeles; with…outen ho;
And seyde; he wolde in trouthe alwey him holde;
And radde it over; and gan the lettre folde。 1085
And with his salte teres gan he bathe
The ruby in his signet; and it sette
Upon the wex deliverliche and rathe;
Ther…with a thousand tymes; er he lette;
He kiste tho the lettre that he shette; 1090
And seyde; ‘Lettre; a blisful destenee
Thee shapen is; my lady shal thee see。'
This Pandare took the lettre; and that by tyme
A…morwe; and to his neces paleys sterte;
And faste he swoor; that it was passed pryme; 1095
And gan to Iape; and seyde; ‘Y…wis; myn herte;
So fresh it is; al…though it sore smerte;
I may not slepe never a Mayes morwe;
I have a Ioly wo; a lusty sorwe。'
Criseyde; whan that she hir uncle herde; 1100
With dreedful herte; and desirous to here
The cause of his cominge; thus answerde:
‘Now by your feyth; myn uncle;' quod she; ‘dere;
What maner windes gydeth yow now here?
Tel us your Ioly wo and your penaunce; 1105
How ferforth be ye put in loves daunce。'
‘By god;' quod he; ‘I hoppe alwey bihinde!'
And she to…laugh; it thoughte hir herte breste。
Quod Pandarus; ‘Loke alwey that ye finde
Game in myn hood; but herkneth; if yow leste; 1110
Ther is right now come in…to toune a geste;
A Greek espye; and telleth newe thinges;
For which I come to telle yow tydinges。
‘Into the gardin go we; and we shal here;
Al prevely; of this a long sermoun。' 1115
With that they wenten arm in arm y…fere
In…to the gardin from the chaumbre doun。
And whan that he so fer was that the soun
Of that he speke; no man here mighte;
He seyde hir thus; and out the lettre plighte; 1120
‘Lo; he that is al hoolly youres free
Him recomaundeth lowly to your grace;
And sent to you this lettre here by me;
Avyseth you on it; whan ye han space;
And of som goodly answere yow purchace; 1125
Or; helpe me god; so pleynly for to seyne;
He may not longe liven for his
