At which the god of love gan loken rowe
Right for despyt; and shoop for to ben wroken;
He kidde anoon his bowe nas not broken;
For sodeynly he hit him at the fulle;
And yet as proud a pekok can he pulle。 210
O blinde world; O blinde entencioun!
How ofte falleth al theffect contraire
Of surquidrye and foul presumpcioun;
For caught is proud; and caught is debonaire。
This Troilus is clomben on the staire; 215
And litel weneth that he moot descenden。
But al…day falleth thing that foles ne wenden。
As proude Bayard ginneth for to skippe
Out of the wey; so priketh him his corn;
Til he a lash have of the longe whippe; 220
Than thenketh he; ‘Though I praunce al biforn
First in the trays; ful fat and newe shorn;
Yet am I but an hors; and horses lawe
I moot endure; and with my feres drawe。'
So ferde it by this fers and proude knight; 225
Though he a worthy kinges sone were;
And wende nothing hadde had swiche might
Ayens his wil that sholde his herte stere;
Yet with a look his herte wex a…fere;
That he; that now was most in pryde above; 230
Wex sodeynly most subget un…to love。
For…thy ensample taketh of this man;
Ye wyse; proude; and worthy folkes alle;
To scornen Love; which that so sone can
The freedom of your hertes to him thralle; 235
For ever it was; and ever it shal bifalle;
That Love is he that alle thing may binde;
For may no man for…do the lawe of kinde。
That this be sooth; hath preved and doth yet;
For this trowe I ye knowen; alle or some; 240
Men reden not that folk han gretter wit
Than they that han be most with love y…nome;
And strengest folk ben therwith overcome;
The worthiest and grettest of degree:
This was; and is; and yet men shal it see。 245
And trewelich it sit wel to be so;
For alderwysest han ther…with ben plesed;
And they that han ben aldermost in wo;
With love han ben conforted most and esed;
And ofte it hath the cruel herte apesed; 250
And worthy folk maad worthier of name;
And causeth most to dreden vyce and shame。
Now sith it may not goodly be withstonde;
And is a thing so vertuous in kinde;
Refuseth not to Love for to be bonde; 255
Sin; as him…selven list; he may yow binde。
The yerde is bet that bowen wole and winde
Than that that brest; and therfor I yow rede
To folwen him that so wel can yow lede。
But for to tellen forth in special 260
As of this kinges sone of which I tolde;
And leten other thing collateral;
Of him thenke I my tale for to holde;
Both of his Ioye; and of his cares colde;
And al his werk; as touching this matere; 265
For I it gan; I wol ther…to refere。
With…inne the temple he wente him forth pleyinge;
This Troilus; of every wight aboute;
On this lady and now on that lokinge;
Wher…so she were of toune; or of with…oute: 270
And up…on cas bifel; that thorugh a route
His eye perced; and so depe it wente;
Til on Criseyde it smoot; and ther it stente。
And sodeynly he wax ther…with astoned;
And gan hire bet biholde in thrifty wyse: 275
‘O mercy; god!' thoughte he; ‘wher hastow woned;
That art so fair and goodly to devyse?'
Ther…with his herte gan to sprede and ryse;
And softe sighed; lest men mighte him here;
And caughte a…yein his firste pleyinge chere。 280
She nas nat with the leste of hir stature;
But alle hir limes so wel answeringe
Weren to womanhode; that creature
Was neuer lasse mannish in seminge。
And eek the pure wyse of here meninge 285
Shewede wel; that men might in hir gesse
Honour; estat; and wommanly noblesse。
To Troilus right wonder wel with…alle
Gan for to lyke hir meninge and hir chere;
Which somdel deynous was; for she leet falle 290
Hir look a lite a…side; in swich manere;
Ascaunces; ‘What! May I not stonden here?'
And after that hir loking gan she lighte;
That never thoughte him seen so good a sighte。
And of hir look in him ther gan to quiken 295
So greet desir; and swich affeccioun;
That in his herte botme gan to stiken
Of hir his fixe and depe impressioun:
And though he erst hadde poured up and doun;
He was tho glad his hornes in to shrinke; 300
Unnethes wiste he how to loke or winke。
Lo; he that leet him…selven so konninge;
And scorned hem that loves peynes dryen;
Was ful unwar that love hadde his dwellinge
With…inne the subtile stremes of hir yen; 305
That sodeynly him thoughte he felte dyen;
Right with hir look; the spirit in his herte;
Blissed be love; that thus can folk converte!
She; this in blak; likinge to Troylus;
Over alle thyng; he stood for to biholde; 310
Ne his desir; ne wherfor he stood thus;
He neither chere made; ne worde tolde;
But from a…fer; his maner for to holde;
On other thing his look som…tyme he caste;
And eft on hir; whyl that servyse laste。 315
And after this; not fulliche al awhaped;
Out of the temple al esiliche he wente;
Repentinge him that he hadde ever y…iaped
Of loves folk; lest fully the descente
Of scorn fille on him…self; but; what he mente; 320
Lest it were wist on any maner syde;
His wo he gan dissimulen and hyde。
Whan he was fro the temple thus departed;
He streyght anoon un…to his paleys torneth;
Right with hir look thurgh…shoten and thurgh…darted; 325
Al feyneth he in lust that he soiorneth;
And al his chere and speche also he borneth;
And ay; of loves servants every whyle;
Him…self to wrye; at hem he gan to smyle。
And seyde; ‘Lord; so ye live al in lest; 330
Ye loveres! For the conningest of yow;
That serveth most ententiflich and best;
Him tit as often harm ther…of as prow;
Your hyre is quit ayein; ye; god wot how!
Nought wel for wel; but scorn for good servyse; 335
In feith; your ordre is ruled in good wyse!
‘In noun…certeyn ben alle your observaunces;
But it a sely fewe poyntes be;
Ne no…thing asketh so grete attendaunces
As doth youre lay; and that knowe alle ye; 340
But that is not the worste; as mote I thee;
But; tolde I yow the worste poynt; I leve;
Al seyde I sooth; ye wolden at me greve!
‘But tak this; that ye loveres ofte eschuwe;
Or elles doon of good entencioun; 345
Ful ofte thy lady wole it misconstrue;
And deme it harm in hir opinioun;
And yet if she; for other enchesoun;
Be wrooth; than shalt thou han a groyn anoon:
Lord! wel is him that may be of yow oon!' 350
But for al this; whan that he say his tyme;
He held his pees; non other bote him gayned;
For love bigan his fetheres so to lyme;
That wel unnethe un…to his folk he fayned
That othere besye nedes him destrayned; 355
For wo was him; that what to doon he niste;
But bad his folk to goon wher that hem liste。
And whan that he in chaumbre was allone;
He doun up…on his beddes feet him sette;
And first be gan to syke; and eft to grone; 360
And thoughte ay on hir so; with…outen lette;
That; as he sat and wook; his spirit mette
That he hir saw a temple; and al the wyse
Right of hir loke; and gan it newe avyse。
Thus gan he make a mirour of his minde; 365
In which he saugh al hoolly hir figure;
And that he wel coude in his herte finde;
It was to him a right good aventure
To love swich oon; and if he dide his cure
To serven hir; yet mighte he falle in grace; 370
Or elles; for oon of hir servaunts pace。
Imagininge that travaille nor grame
Ne mighte; for so goodly oon; be lorn
As she; ne him for his desir ne shame;
Al were it wist; but in prys and up…born 375
Of alle lovers wel more than biforn;
Thus argumented he in his ginninge;
Ful unavysed of his wo cominge。
Thus took he purpos loves craft to suwe;
And thoughte he wolde werken prively; 380
First; to hyden his desir in muwe
From every wight y…born; al…outrely;
But he mighte ought recovered be therby;
Remembring him; that love to wyde y…blowe
Yelt bittre fruyt; though swete seed be sowe。 385
And over al this; yet muchel more he thoughte
What for to speke; and what to holden inne;
And what to arten hir to love he soughte;
And on a song anoon…right to biginne;
And gan loude on his sorwe for to winne; 390
For with good hope he gan fully assente
Criseyde for to love; and nought repente。
And of his song nought only the sentence;
As writ myn autour called Lollius;
But pleynly; save our tonges difference; 395
I dar wel sayn; in al that Troilus
Seyde in his song; lo! every word right thus
As I shal seyn; and who…so list it here;
Lo! next this vers; he may it finden here。
Cantus Troili。
‘If no love is; O god; what fele I so? 400
And if love is; what thing and whiche is he!
If love be good; from whennes comth my wo?
If it be wikke; a wonder thinketh me;
Whenne every torment and adversitee
That cometh of him; may to me savory thinke; 405
For ay thurst I; the more that I it drinke。
‘And if that at myn owene lust I brenne;
Fro whennes cometh my wailing and my pleynte?
If harme agree me; wher
