This woful wight; this Troilus; that felte 365
His freend Pandare y…comen him to see;
Gan as the snow ayein the sonne melte;
For which this sorwful Pandare; of pitee;
Gan for to wepe as tendreliche as he;
And specheles thus been thise ilke tweye; 370
That neyther mighte o word for sorwe seye。
But at the laste this woful Troilus;
Ney deed for smert; gan bresten out to rore;
And with a sorwful noyse he seyde thus;
Among his sobbes and his sykes sore; 375
‘Lo! Pandare; I am deed; with…outen more。
Hastow nought herd at parlement;' he seyde;
‘For Antenor how lost is my Criseyde?'
This Pandarus; ful deed and pale of hewe;
Ful pitously answerde and seyde; ‘Yis! 380
As wisly were it fals as it is trewe;
That I have herd; and wot al how it is。
O mercy; god; who wolde have trowed this?
Who wolde have wend that; in so litel a throwe;
Fortune our Ioye wolde han over…throwe? 385
‘For in this world ther is no creature;
As to my doom; that ever saw ruyne
Straungere than this; thorugh cas or aventure。
But who may al eschewe; or al devyne?
Swich is this world; for…thy I thus defyne; 390
Ne trust no wight to finden in Fortune
Ay propretee; hir yeftes been comune。
‘But tel me this; why thou art now so mad
To sorwen thus? Why lystow in this wyse;
Sin thy desyr al holly hastow had; 395
So that; by right; it oughte y…now suffyse?
But I; that never felte in my servyse
A frendly chere or loking of an ye;
Lat me thus wepe and wayle; til I dye。
‘And over al this; as thou wel wost thy…selve; 400
This town is ful of ladies al aboute;
And; to my doom; fairer than swiche twelve
As ever she was; shal I finde; in som route;
Ye; oon or two; with…outen any doute。
For…thy be glad; myn owene dere brother; 405
If she be lost; we shal recovere another。
‘What; god for…bede alwey that ech plesaunce
In o thing were; and in non other wight!
If oon can singe; another can wel daunce;
If this be goodly; she is glad and light; 410
And this is fayr; and that can good a…right。
Ech for his vertu holden is for dere;
Bothe heroner and faucon for rivere。
‘And eek; as writ Zanzis; that was ful wys;
〃The newe love out chaceth ofte the olde;〃 415
And up…on newe cas lyth newe avys。
Thenk eek; thy…self to saven artow holde;
Swich fyr; by proces; shal of kinde colde。
For sin it is but casuel plesaunce;
Som cas shal putte it out of remembraunce。 420
‘For al…so seur as day cometh after night;
The newe love; labour or other wo;
Or elles selde seinge of a wight;
Don olde affecciouns alle over…go。
And; for thy part; thou shalt have oon of tho 425
To abrigge with thy bittre peynes smerte;
Absence of hir shal dryve hir out of herte。'
Thise wordes seyde he for the nones alle;
To helpe his freend; lest he for sorwe deyde。
For douteles; to doon his wo to falle; 430
He roughte not what unthrift that he seyde。
But Troilus; that neigh for sorwe deyde;
Tok litel hede of al that ever he mente;
Oon ere it herde; at the other out it wente:
But at the laste answerde and seyde; ‘Freend; 435
This lechecraft; or heled thus to be;
Were wel sitting; if that I were a feend;
To traysen hir that trewe is unto me!
I pray god; lat this consayl never y…thee;
But do me rather sterve anon…right here 440
Er I thus do as thou me woldest lere。
‘She that I serve; y…wis; what so thou seye;
To whom myn herte enhabit is by right;
Shal han me holly hires til that I deye。
For; Pandarus; sin I have trouthe hir hight; 445
I wol not been untrewe for no wight;
But as hir man I wol ay live and sterve;
And never other creature serve。
‘And ther thou seyst; thou shalt as faire finde
As she; lat be; make no comparisoun 450
To creature y…formed here by kinde。
O leve Pandare; in conclusioun;
I wol not be of thyn opinioun;
Touching al this; for whiche I thee biseche;
So hold thy pees; thou sleest me with thy speche。 455
‘Thow biddest me I sholde love an…other
Al freshly newe; and lat Criseyde go!
It lyth not in my power; leve brother。
And though I mighte; I wolde not do so。
But canstow pleyen raket; to and fro; 460
Netle in; dokke out; now this; now that; Pandare?
Now foule falle hir; for thy wo that care!
‘Thow farest eek by me; thou Pandarus;
As he; that whan a wight is wo bi…goon;
He cometh to him a pas; and seyth right thus; 465
〃Thenk not on smert; and thou shalt fele noon。〃
Thou most me first transmuwen in a stoon;
And reve me my passiounes alle;
Er thou so lightly do my wo to falle。
‘The deeth may wel out of my brest departe 470
The lyf; so longe may this sorwe myne;
But fro my soule shal Criseydes darte
Out never…mo; but doun with Proserpyne;
Whan I am deed; I wol go wone in pyne;
And ther I wol eternaly compleyne 475
My wo; and how that twinned be we tweyne。
‘Thow hast here maad an argument; for fyn;
How that it sholde a lasse peyne be
Criseyde to for…goon; for she was myn;
And live in ese and in felicitee。 480
Why gabbestow; that seydest thus to me
That 〃him is wors that is fro wele y…throwe;
Than he hadde erst non of that wele y…knowe?〃
‘But tel me now; sin that thee thinketh so light
To chaungen so in love; ay to and fro; 485
Why hastow not don bisily thy might
To chaungen hir that doth thee al thy wo?
Why niltow lete hir fro thyn herte go?
Why niltow love an…other lady swete;
That may thyn herte setten in quiete? 490
‘If thou hast had in love ay yet mischaunce;
And canst it not out of thyn herte dryve;
I; that livede in lust and in plesaunce
With hir as muche as creature on…lyve;
How sholde I that foryete; and that so blyve? 495
O where hastow ben hid so longe in muwe;
That canst so wel and formely arguwe?
‘Nay; nay; god wot; nought worth is al thy reed;
For which; for what that ever may bifalle;
With…outen wordes mo; I wol be deed。 500
O deeth; that endere art of sorwes alle;
Com now; sin I so ofte after thee calle;
For sely is that deeth; soth for to seyne;
That; ofte y…cleped; cometh and endeth peyne。
‘Wel wot I; whyl my lyf was in quiete; 505
Er thou me slowe; I wolde have yeven hyre;
But now thy cominge is to me so swete;
That in this world I no…thing so desyre。
O deeth; sin with this sorwe I am a…fyre;
Thou outher do me anoon yn teres drenche; 510
Or with thy colde strook myn hete quenche!
‘Sin that thou sleest so fele in sondry wyse
Ayens hir wil; unpreyed; day and night;
Do me; at my requeste; this servyse;
Delivere now the world; so dostow right; 515
Of me; that am the wofulleste wight
That ever was; for tyme is that I sterve;
Sin in this world of right nought may I serve。'
This Troilus in teres gan distille;
As licour out of alambyk ful faste; 520
And Pandarus gan holde his tunge stille;
And to the ground his eyen doun he caste。
But nathelees; thus thoughte he at the laste;
‘What; parde; rather than my felawe deye;
Yet shal I som…what more un…to him seye:' 525
And seyde; ‘Freend; sin thou hast swich distresse;
And sin thee list myn arguments to blame;
Why nilt thy…selven helpen doon redresse;
And with thy manhod letten al this grame?
Go ravisshe hir ne canstow not for shame! 530
And outher lat hir out of toune fare;
Or hold hir stille; and leve thy nyce fare。
‘Artow in Troye; and hast non hardiment
To take a womman which that loveth thee;
And wolde hir…selven been of thyn assent? 535
Now is not this a nyce vanitee?
Rys up anoon; and lat this weping be;
And kyth thou art a man; for in this houre
I wil be deed; or she shal bleven oure。'
To this answerde him Troilus ful softe; 540
And seyde; ‘Parde; leve brother dere;
Al this have I my…self yet thought ful ofte;
And more thing than thou devysest here。
But why this thing is laft; thou shalt wel here;
And whan thou me hast yeve an audience; 545
Ther…after mayst thou telle al thy sentence。
‘First; sin thou wost this toun hath al this werre
For ravisshing of wommen so by might;
It sholde not be suffred me to erre;
As it stant now; ne doon so gret unright。 550
I sholde han also blame of every wight;
My fadres graunt if that I so withstode;
Sin she is chaunged for the tounes goode。
‘I have eek thought; so it were hir assent;
To aske hir at my fader; of his grace; 555
Than thenke I; this were hir accusement;
Sin wel I woot I may hir not purchace。
For sin my fader; in so heigh a place
As parlement; hath hir eschaunge enseled;
He nil for me his lettre be repeled。 560
‘Yet drede I most hir herte to pertourbe
With violence; if I do swich a game;
For if I wolde it openly distourbe;
It moste been disclaundre to hir name。
And me were lever deed than hir defame; 565
As nolde god but…if I sholde have
Hir honour lever than my lyf to save!
‘Thus am I lost; for ought that I can see;
For certeyn is; sin that I am hir knight;
I moste
