‘Thus am I lost; for ought that I can see;

For certeyn is; sin that I am hir knight;

I moste hir honour levere han than me  570

In every cas; as lovere oughte of right。

Thus am I with desyr and reson twight;

Desyr for to destourben hir me redeth;

And reson nil not; so myn herte dredeth。'



Thus wepinge that he coude never cesse;  575

He seyde; ‘Allas! How shal I; wrecche; fare?

For wel fele I alwey my love encresse;

And hope is lasse and lasse alwey; Pandare!

Encressen eek the causes of my care;

So wel…a…wey; why nil myn herte breste?  580

For; as in love; ther is but litel reste。'



Pandare answerde; ‘Freend; thou mayst; for me;

Don as thee list; but hadde ich it so hote;

And thyn estat; she sholde go with me;

Though al this toun cryede on this thing by note;  585

I nolde sette at al that noyse a grote。

For when men han wel cryed; than wol they roune;

A wonder last but nyne night never in toune。



‘Devyne not in reson ay so depe

Ne curteysly; but help thy…self anoon;  590

Bet is that othere than thy…selven wepe;

And namely; sin ye two been al oon。

Rys up; for by myn heed; she shal not goon;

And rather be in blame a lyte y…founde

Than sterve here as a gnat; with…oute wounde。  595



‘It is no shame un…to yow; ne no vyce

Hir to with…holden; that ye loveth most。

Paraunter; she mighte holden thee for nyce

To lete hir go thus to the Grekes ost。

Thenk eek Fortune; as wel thy…selven wost;  600

Helpeth hardy man to his enpryse;

And weyveth wrecches; for hir cowardyse。



‘And though thy lady wolde a litel hir greve;

Thou shalt thy pees ful wel here…after make;

But as for me; certayn; I can not leve  605

That she wolde it as now for yvel take。

Why sholde than for ferd thyn herte quake?

Thenk eek how Paris hath; that is thy brother;

A love; and why shaltow not have another?



‘And Troilus; o thing I dar thee swere;  610

That if Criseyde; whiche that is thy leef;

Now loveth thee as wel as thou dost here;

God helpe me so; she nil nat take a…greef;

Though thou do bote a…noon in this mischeef。

And if she wilneth fro thee for to passe;  615

Thanne is she fals; so love hir wel the lasse。



‘For…thy tak herte; and thenk; right as a knight;

Thourgh love is broken alday every lawe。

Kyth now sumwhat thy corage and thy might;

Have mercy on thy…self; for any awe。  620

Lat not this wrecched wo thin herte gnawe;

But manly set the world on sixe and sevene;

And; if thou deye a martir; go to hevene。



‘I wol my…self be with thee at this dede;

Though ich and al my kin; up…on a stounde;  625

Shulle in a strete as dogges liggen dede;

Thourgh…girt with many a wyd and blody wounde。

In every cas I wol a freend be founde。

And if thee list here sterven as a wrecche;

A…dieu; the devel spede him that it recche!'  630



This Troilus gan with tho wordes quiken;

And seyde; ‘Freend; graunt mercy; ich assente;

But certaynly thou mayst not me so priken;

Ne peyne noon ne may me so tormente;

That; for no cas; it is not myn entente;  635

At shorte wordes; though I dyen sholde;

To ravisshe hir; but…if hir…self it wolde。'



‘Why; so mene I;' quod Pandarus; ‘al this day。

But tel me than; hastow hir wil assayed;

That sorwest thus?' And he answerde; ‘Nay。'

‘Wher…of artow;' quod Pandare; ‘than a…mayed;  640

That nost not that she wol ben y…vel apayed

To ravisshe hir; sin thou hast not ben there;

But…if that Iove tolde it in thyn ere?



‘For…thy rys up; as nought ne were; anoon;  645

And wash thy face; and to the king thou wende;

Or he may wondren whider thou art goon。

Thou most with wisdom him and othere blende;

Or; up…on cas; he may after thee sende

Er thou be war; and shortly; brother dere;  650

Be glad; and lat me werke in this matere。



‘For I shal shape it so; that sikerly

Thou shalt this night som tyme; in som manere;

Com speke with thy lady prevely;

And by hir wordes eek; and by hir chere;  655

Thou shalt ful sone aperceyve and wel here

Al hir entente; and in this cas the beste;

And fare now wel; for in this point I reste。'



The swifte Fame; whiche that false thinges

Egal reporteth lyk the thinges trewe;  660

Was thorugh…out Troye y…fled with preste winges

Fro man to man; and made this tale al newe;

How Calkas doughter; with hir brighte hewe;

At parlement; with…oute wordes more;

I…graunted was in chaunge of Antenore。  665



The whiche tale anoon…right as Criseyde

Had herd; she; which that of hir fader roughte;

As in this cas; right nought; ne whanne he deyde;

Ful bisily to Iuppiter bisoughte

Yeve hem mischaunce that this tretis broughte。  670

But shortly; lest thise tales sothe were;

She dorste at no wight asken it; for fere。



As she that hadde hir herte and al hir minde

On Troilus y…set so wonder faste;


That al this world ne mighte hir love unbinde;  675

Ne Troilus out of hir herte caste;

She wol ben his; whyl that hir lyf may laste。

And thus she brenneth bothe in love and drede;

So that she niste what was best to rede。



But as men seen in toune; and al aboute;  680

That wommen usen frendes to visyte;

So to Criseyde of wommen com a route

For pitous Ioye; and wenden hir delyte;

And with hir tales; dere y…nough a myte;

These wommen; whiche that in the cite dwelle;  685

They sette hem doun; and seyde as I shal telle。



Quod first that oon; ‘I am glad; trewely;

By…cause of yow; that shal your fader see。'

A…nother seyde; ‘Y…wis; so nam not I;

For al to litel hath she with us be。'  690

Quod tho the thridde; ‘I hope; y…wis; that she

Shal bringen us the pees on every syde;

That; whan she gooth; almighty god hir gyde!'



Tho wordes and tho wommanisshe thinges;

She herde hem right as though she thennes were;  695

For; god it wot; hir herte on other thing is;

Although the body sat among hem there。

Hir advertence is alwey elles…where;

For Troilus ful faste hir soule soughte;

With…outen word; alwey on him she thoughte。  700



Thise wommen; that thus wenden hir to plese;

Aboute nought gonne alle hir tales spende;

Swich vanitee ne can don hir non ese;

As she that; al this mene whyle。 brende

Of other passioun than that they wende;  705

So that she felte almost hir herte deye

For wo; and wery of that companye。



For which no lenger mighte she restreyne

Hir teres; so they gonnen up to welle;

That yaven signes of the bitter peyne  710

In whiche hir spirit was; and moste dwelle;

Remembring hir; fro heven unto which helle

She fallen was; sith she forgoth the sighte

Of Troilus; and sorowfully she sighte。



And thilke foles sittinge hir aboute  715

Wenden; that she wepte and syked sore

By…cause that she sholde out of that route

Departe; and never pleye with hem more。

And they that hadde y…knowen hir of yore

Seye hir so wepe; and thoughte it kindenesse;  720

And eche of hem wepte eek for hir destresse;



And bisily they gonnen hir conforten

Of thing; god wot; on which she litel thoughte;

And with hir tales wenden hir disporten;

And to be glad they often hir bisoughte。  725

But swich an ese ther…with they hir wroughte

Right as a man is esed for to fele;

For ache of heed; to clawen him on his hele!



But after al this nyce vanitee

They took hir leve; and hoom they wenten alle。  730

Criseyde; ful of sorweful pitee;

In…to hir chaumbre up wente out of the halle;

And on hir bed she gan for deed to falle;

In purpos never thennes for to ryse;

And thus she wroughte; as I shal yow devyse。  735



Hir ounded heer; that sonnish was of hewe;

She rente; and eek hir fingres longe and smale

She wrong ful ofte; and bad god on hir rewe;

And with the deeth to doon bote on hir bale。

Hir hewe; whylom bright; that tho was pale;  740

Bar witnes of hir wo and hir constreynte;

And thus she spak; sobbinge; in hir compleynte:



‘Alas!' quod she; ‘out of this regioun

I; woful wrecche and infortuned wight;

And born in corsed constellacioun;  745

Mot goon; and thus departen fro my knight;

Wo worth; allas! That ilke dayes light

On which I saw him first with eyen tweyne;

That causeth me; and I him; al this peyne!'



Therwith the teres from hir eyen two  750

Doun fille; as shour in Aperill ful swythe;

Hir whyte brest she bet; and for the wo

After the deeth she cryed a thousand sythe;

Sin he that wont hir wo was for to lythe;

She mot for…goon; for which disaventure  755

She held hir…self a forlost creature。



She seyde; ‘How shal he doon; and I also?

How sholde I live; if that I from him twinne?

O dere herte eek; that I love so;

Who shal that sorwe sleen that ye ben inne?  760

O Calkas; fader; thyn be al this sinne!

O moder myn; that cleped were Argyve;

Wo worth that day that thou me bere on lyve!



‘To what fyn sholde I live and sorwen thus?

How sholde a fish with…oute water dure?  765

What is Criseyde worth; from Troilus?

How sholde a plaunte or lyves creature

Live; with…oute his kind
