Love him made al prest to doon hir byde;

And rather dye than she sholde go;

But resoun seyde him; on that other syde;

‘With…oute assent of hir ne do not so;  165

Lest for thy werk she wolde be thy fo;

And seyn; that thorugh thy medling is y…blowe

Your bother love; there it was erst unknowe。'



For which he gan deliberen; for the beste;

That though the lordes wolde that she wente;  170

He wolde lat hem graunte what hem leste;

And telle his lady first what that they mente。

And whan that she had seyd him hir entente;

Ther…after wolde he werken also blyve;

Though al the world ayein it wolde stryve。  175



Ector; which that wel the Grekes herde;

For Antenor how they wolde han Criseyde;

Gan it withstonde; and sobrely answerde: 

‘Sires; she nis no prisoner;' he seyde;

‘I noot on yow who that this charge leyde;  180

But; on my part; ye may eft…sone hem telle;

We usen here no wommen for to selle。'



The noyse of peple up…stirte thanne at ones;

As breme as blase of straw y…set on fyre;

For infortune it wolde; for the nones;  185

They sholden hir confusioun desyre。

‘Ector;' quod they; ‘what goost may yow enspyre

This womman thus to shilde and doon us lese

Daun Antenor?  a wrong wey now ye chese 



‘That is so wys; and eek so bold baroun;  190

And we han nede to folk; as men may see;

He is eek oon; the grettest of this toun;

O Ector; lat tho fantasyes be!

O king Priam;' quod they; ‘thus seggen we;

That al our voys is to for…gon Criseyde;'  195

And to deliveren Antenor they preyde。



O Iuvenal; lord! Trewe is thy sentence;

That litel witen folk what is to yerne

That they ne finde in hir desyr offence;

For cloud of errour let hem not descerne  200

What best is; and lo; here ensample as yerne。

This folk desiren now deliveraunce

Of Antenor; that broughte hem to mischaunce!



For he was after traytour to the toun

Of Troye; allas! They quitte him out to rathe;  205

O nyce world; lo; thy discrecioun!

Criseyde; which that never dide hem skathe;

Shal now no lenger in hir blisse bathe;

But Antenor; he shal com hoom to toune;

And she shal out; thus seyden here and howne。  210



For which delibered was by parlement

For Antenor to yelden out Criseyde;

And it pronounced by the president;

Al…theigh that Ector ‘nay' ful ofte preyde。

And fynaly; what wight that it with…seyde;  215

It was for nought; it moste been; and sholde;

For substaunce of the parlement it wolde。



Departed out of parlement echone;

This Troilus; with…oute wordes mo;

Un…to his chaumbre spedde him faste allone;  220

But…if it were a man of his or two;

The whiche he bad out faste for to go;

By…cause he wolde slepen; as he seyde;

And hastely up…on his bed him leyde。



And as in winter leves been biraft;  225

Eche after other; til the tree be bare;

So that ther nis but bark and braunche y…laft;

Lyth Troilus; biraft of ech wel…fare;

Y…bounden in the blake bark of care;

Disposed wood out of his wit to breyde;  230

So sore him sat the chaunginge of Criseyde。



He rist him up; and every dore he shette

And windowe eek; and tho this sorweful man

Up…on his beddes syde a…doun him sette;

Ful lyk a deed image pale and wan;  235

And in his brest the heped wo bigan

Out…breste; and he to werken in this wyse

In his woodnesse; as I shal yow devyse。



Right as the wilde bole biginneth springe

Now here; now there; y…darted to the herte;  240

And of his deeth roreth in compleyninge;

Right so gan he aboute the chaumbre sterte;

Smyting his brest ay with his festes smerte;

His heed to the wal; his body to the grounde

Ful ofte he swapte; him…selven to confounde。  245



His eyen two; for pitee of his herte;

Out stremeden as swifte welles tweye;

The heighe sobbes of his sorwes smerte

His speche him refte; unnethes mighte he seye;

‘O deeth; allas! Why niltow do me deye?  250

A…cursed be the day which that nature

Shoop me to ben a lyves creature!'



But after; whan the furie and the rage

Which that his herte twiste and faste threste;

By lengthe of tyme somwhat gan asswage;  255

Up…on his bed he leyde him doun to reste;

But tho bigonne his teres more out…breste;

That wonder is; the body may suffyse

To half this wo; which that I yow devyse。



Than seyde he thus; ‘Fortune! Allas the whyle!  260

What have I doon; what have I thus a…gilt?

How mightestow for reuthe me bigyle?

Is ther no grace; and shal I thus be spilt?

Shal thus Criseyde awey; for that thou wilt?

Allas! How maystow in thyn herte finde  265

To been to me thus cruel and unkinde?



‘Have I thee nought honoured al my lyve;

As thou wel wost; above the goddes alle?

Why wiltow me fro Ioye thus depryve?

O Troilus; what may men now thee calle  270

But wrecche of wrecches; out of honour falle

In…to miserie; in which I wol biwayle

Criseyde; allas! Til that the breeth me fayle?



‘Allas; Fortune! If that my lyf in Ioye

Displesed hadde un…to thy foule envye;  275

Why ne haddestow my fader; king of Troye;

By…raft the lyf; or doon my bretheren dye;

Or slayn my…self; that thus compleyne and crye;

I; combre…world; that may of no…thing serve;

But ever dye; and never fully sterve?  280



‘If that Criseyde allone were me laft;

Nought roughte I whider thou woldest me stere;

And hir; allas! Than hastow me biraft。

But ever…more; lo! This is thy manere;

To reve a wight that most is to him dere;  285

To preve in that thy gerful violence。

Thus am I lost; ther helpeth no defence!



‘O verray lord of love; O god; allas!

That knowest best myn herte and al my thought;

What shal my sorwful lyf don in this cas  290

If I for…go that I so dere have bought?

Sin ye Cryseyde and me han fully brought

In…to your grace; and bothe our hertes seled;

How may ye suffre; allas! It be repeled?



‘What I may doon; I shal; whyl I may dure  295

On lyve in torment and in cruel peyne;

This infortune or this disaventure;

Allone as I was born; y…wis; compleyne;

Ne never wil I seen it shyne or reyne;

But ende I wil; as Edippe; in derknesse  300

My sorwful lyf; and dyen in distresse。



‘O wery goost; that errest to and fro;

Why niltow fleen out of the wofulleste

Body; that ever mighte on grounde go?

O soule; lurkinge in this wo; unneste;  305

Flee forth out of myn herte; and lat it breste;

And folwe alwey Criseyde; thy lady dere;

Thy righte place is now no lenger here!



‘O wofulle eyen two; sin your disport

Was al to seen Criseydes eyen brighte;  310

What shal ye doon but; for my discomfort;

Stonden for nought; and wepen out your sighte?

Sin she is queynt; that wont was yow to lighte;

In veyn fro…this…forth have I eyen tweye

Y…formed; sin your vertue is a…weye。  315



‘O my Criseyde; O lady sovereyne

Of thilke woful soule that thus cryeth;

Who shal now yeven comfort to the peyne?

Allas; no wight; but when myn herte dyeth;

My spirit; which that so un…to yow hyeth;  320

Receyve in gree; for that shal ay yow serve;

For…thy no fors is; though the body sterve。



‘O ye loveres; that heighe upon the wheel

Ben set of Fortune; in good aventure;

God leve that ye finde ay love of steel;  325

And longe mot your lyf in Ioye endure!

But whan ye comen by my sepulture;

Remembreth that your felawe resteth there;

For I lovede eek; though I unworthy were。



‘O olde; unholsom; and mislyved man;  330

Calkas I mene; allas! What eyleth thee

To been a Greek; sin thou art born Troian?

O Calkas; which that wilt my bane be;

In cursed tyme was thou born for me!

As wolde blisful Iove; for his Ioye;  335

That I thee hadde; where I wolde; in Troye!'



A thousand sykes; hottere than the glede;

Out of his brest ech after other wente;

Medled with pleyntes newe; his wo to fede;

For which his woful teres never stente;  340

And shortly; so his peynes him to…rente;

And wex so mat; that Ioye nor penaunce

He feleth noon; but lyth forth in a traunce。



Pandare; which that in the parlement

Hadde herd what every lord and burgeys seyde;  345

And how ful graunted was; by oon assent;

For Antenor to yelden so Criseyde;

Gan wel neigh wood out of his wit to breyde;

So that; for wo; he niste what he mente;

But in a rees to Troilus he wente。  350



A certeyn knight; that for the tyme kepte

The chaumbre…dore; un…dide it him anoon;

And Pandare; that ful tendreliche wepte;

In…to the derke chaumbre; as stille as stoon;

Toward the bed gan softely to goon;  355

So confus; that he niste what to seye;

For verray wo his wit was neigh aweye。



And with his chere and loking al to…torn;

For sorwe of this; and with his armes folden;

He stood this woful Troilus biforn;  360

And on his pitous face he gan biholden;

But lord; so often gan his herte colden;

Seing his freend in wo; whos hevinesse

His herte slow; as thoughte him; for distresse。



This woful wight; this Troilus; that felte  365
