Nought list myn auctor fully to declare  575

What that she thoughte whan he seyde so;

That Troilus was out of town y…fare;

As if he seyde ther…of sooth or no;

But that; with…outen awayt; with him to go;

She graunted him; sith he hir that bisoughte  580

And; as his nece; obeyed as hir oughte。



But nathelees; yet gan she him biseche;

Al…though with him to goon it was no fere;

For to be war of goosish peples speche;

That dremen thinges whiche that never were;  585

And wel avyse him whom he broughte there;

And seyde him; ‘Eem; sin I mot on yow triste;

Loke al be wel; and do now as yow liste。'



He swor hire; ‘Yis; by stokkes and by stones;

And by the goddes that in hevene dwelle;  590

Or elles were him levere; soule and bones;

With Pluto king as depe been in helle

As Tantalus!' What sholde I more telle?

Whan al was wel; he roos and took his leve;

And she to souper com; whan it was eve;  595



With a certayn of hir owene men;

And with hir faire nece Antigone;

And othere of hir wommen nyne or ten;

But who was glad now; who; as trowe ye;

But Troilus; that stood and mighte it see  600

Thurgh…out a litel windowe in a stewe;

Ther he bishet; sin midnight; was in mewe;



Unwist of every wight but of Pandare?

But to the poynt; now whan that she was y…come

With alle Ioye; and alle frendes fare;  605

Hir em anoon in armes hath hir nome;

And after to the souper; alle and some;

Whan tyme was; ful softe they hem sette;

God wot; ther was no deyntee for to fette。



And after souper gonnen they to ryse;  610

At ese wel; with hertes fresshe and glade;

And wel was him that coude best devyse

To lyken hir; or that hir laughen made。

He song; she pleyde; he tolde tale of Wade。

But at the laste; as every thing hath ende;  615

She took hir leve; and nedes wolde wende。



But O; Fortune; executrice of wierdes;

O influences of thise hevenes hye!

Soth is; that; under god; ye ben our hierdes;

Though to us bestes been the causes wrye。  620

This mene I now; for she gan hoomward hye;

But execut was al bisyde hir leve;

At the goddes wil; for which she moste bleve。



The bente mone with hir hornes pale;

Saturne; and Iove; in Cancro ioyned were;  625

That swich a rayn from hevene gan avale

That every maner womman that was there

Hadde of that smoky reyn a verray fere;

At which Pandare tho lough; and seyde thenne;

‘Now were it tyme a lady to go henne!  630



‘But goode nece; if I mighte ever plese

Yow any…thing; than prey I yow;' quod he;

‘To doon myn herte as now so greet an ese

As for to dwelle here al this night with me;

For…why this is your owene hous; pardee。  635

For; by my trouthe; I sey it nought a…game;

To wende as now; it were to me a shame。'



Criseyde; which that coude as muche good

As half a world; tok hede of his preyere;

And sin it ron; and al was on a flood;  640

She thoughte; as good chep may I dwellen here;

And graunte it gladly with a freendes chere;

And have a thank; as grucche and thanne abyde;

For hoom to goon; it may nought wel bityde。'



‘I wol;' quod she; ‘myn uncle leef and dere;  645

Sin that yow list; it skile is to be so;

I am right glad with yow to dwellen here;

I seyde but a…game; I wolde go。'

‘Y…wis; graunt mercy; nece!' quod he tho;

‘Were it a game or no; soth for to telle;  650

Now am I glad; sin that yow list to dwelle。'



Thus al is wel; but tho bigan aright

The newe Ioye; and al the feste agayn;

But Pandarus; if goodly hadde he might;

He wolde han hyed hir to bedde fayn;  655

And seyde; ‘Lord; this is an huge rayn!

This were a weder for to slepen inne;

And that I rede us sonE to biginne。



‘And nece; woot ye wher I wol yow leye;

For that we shul not liggen fer asonder;  660

And for ye neither shullen; dar I seye;

Heren noise of reynes nor of thondre?

By god; right in my lyte closet yonder。

And I wol in that outer hous allone

Be wardeyn of your wommen everichone。  665



‘And in this middel chaumbre that ye see

Shal youre wommen slepen wel and softe;

And ther I seyde shal your…selve be;

And if ye liggen wel to…night; com ofte;

And careth not what weder is on…lofte。  670

The wyn anon; and whan so that yow leste;

So go we slepe; I trowe it be the beste。'



Ther nis no more; but here…after sone;

The voyde dronke; and travers drawe anon;

Gan every wight; that hadde nought to done  675

More in the place; out of the chaumber gon。

And ever…mo so sternelich it ron;

And blew ther…with so wonderliche loude;

That wel neigh no man heren other coude。



Tho Pandarus; hir eem; right as him oughte;  680

With women swiche as were hir most aboute;

Ful glad un…to hir beddes syde hir broughte;

And toke his leve; and gan ful lowe loute;

And seyde; ‘Here at this closet…dore with…oute;

Right over…thwart; your wommen liggen alle;  685

That; whom yow list of hem; ye may here calle。'



So whan that she was in the closet leyd;

And alle hir wommen forth by ordenaunce

A…bedde weren; ther as I have seyd;

There was no more to skippen nor to traunce;  690

But boden go to bedde; with mischaunce;

If any wight was steringe any…where;

And late hem slepe that a…bedde were。



But Pandarus; that wel coude eche a del

The olde daunce; and every poynt ther…inne;  695

Whan that he sey that alle thing was wel;

He thoughte he wolde up…on his werk biginne;

And gan the stewe…dore al softe un…pinne;

And stille as stoon; with…outen lenger lette;

By Troilus a…doun right he him sette。  700



And; shortly to the poynt right for to gon;

Of al this werk he tolde him word and ende;

And seyde; ‘Make thee redy right anon;

For thou shalt in…to hevene blisse wende。'

‘Now blisful Venus; thou me grace sende;'  705

Quod Troilus; ‘for never yet no nede

Hadde I er now; ne halvendel the drede。'



Quod Pandarus; ‘Ne drede thee never a del;

For it shal been right as thou wilt desyre;

So thryve I; this night shal I make it wel;  710

Or casten al the gruwel in the fyre。'

‘Yit blisful Venus; this night thou me enspyre;'

Quod Troilus; ‘as wis as I thee serve;

And ever bet and bet shal; til I sterve。



‘And if I hadde; O Venus ful of murthe;  715

Aspectes badde of Mars or of Saturne;

Or thou combust or let were in my birthe;

Thy fader prey al thilke harm disturne

Of grace; and that I glad ayein may turne;

For love of him thou lovedest in the shawe;  720

I mene Adoon; that with the boor was slawe。



‘O Iove eek; for the love of faire Europe;

The whiche in forme of bole awey thou fette;

Now help; O Mars; thou with thy blody cope;

For love of Cipris; thou me nought ne lette;  725

O Phebus; thenk whan Dane hir…selven shette

Under the bark; and laurer wex for drede;

Yet for hir love; O help now at this nede!



‘Mercurie; for the love of Hierse eke;

For which Pallas was with Aglauros wrooth;  730

Now help; and eek Diane; I thee biseke

That this viage be not to thee looth。

O fatal sustren; which; er any clooth

Me shapen was; my destene me sponne;

So helpeth to this werk that is bi…gonne!'  735



Quod Pandarus; ‘Thou wrecched mouses herte;

Art thou agast so that she wol thee byte?

Why; don this furred cloke up…on thy sherte;

And folowe me; for I wol have the wyte;

But byd; and lat me go bifore a lyte。'  740

And with that word he gan un…do a trappe;

And Troilus he broughte in by the lappe。



The sterne wind so loude gan to route

That no wight other noyse mighte here;

And they that layen at the dore with…oute;  745

Ful sykerly they slepten alle y…fere;

And Pandarus; with a ful sobre chere;

Goth to the dore anon with…outen lette;

Ther…as they laye; and softely it shette。



And as he com ayeinward prively;  750

His nece awook; and asked; ‘Who goth there?'

‘My dere nece;' quod he; ‘it am I;

Ne wondreth not; ne have of it no fere;'

And ner he com; and seyde hir in hir ere;

‘No word; for love of god I yow biseche;  755

Lat no wight ryse and heren of oure speche。'



‘What! Which wey be ye comen; benedicite?'

Quod she; ‘And how thus unwist of hem alle?'

‘Here at this secre trappe…dore;' quod he。

Quod tho Criseyde; ‘Lat me som wight calle。'  760

‘Ey! God forbede that it sholde falle;'

Quod Pandarus; ‘that ye swich foly wroughte!

They mighte deme thing they never er thoughte!



‘It is nought good a sleping hound to wake;

Ne yeve a wight a cause to devyne;  765

Your wommen slepen alle; I under…take;

So that; for hem; the hous men mighte myne;

And slepen wolen til the sonne shyne。

And whan my tale al brought is to an ende;

Unwist; right as I com; so wol I wende。  770



‘Now; nece myn; ye shul wel understonde;'

Quod he; ‘so as ye wommen demen alle;

That for to holde in love a man in honde;

And him hir 〃leef〃 and 〃dere herte〃 calle;

And maken him an howve above a calle;  775

I mene; as love an other in this whyle;

She doth hir…self a shame; and him a gyle。
