And with his teres salte hir brest bireyned;
He gan tho teris wypen of ful dreye;
And pitously gan for the soule preye;
And seyde; ‘O lord; that set art in thy trone; 1175
Rewe eek on me; for I shal folwe hir sone!'
She cold was and with…outen sentement;
For aught he woot; for breeth ne felte he noon;
And this was him a preignant argument
That she was forth out of this world agoon; 1180
And whan he seigh ther was non other woon;
He gan hir limes dresse in swich manere
As men don hem that shul be leyd on bere。
And after this; with sterne and cruel herte;
His swerd a…noon out of his shethe he twighte; 1185
Him…self to sleen; how sore that him smerte;
So that his sowle hir sowle folwen mighte;
Ther…as the doom of Mynos wolde it dighte;
Sin love and cruel Fortune it ne wolde;
That in this world he lenger liven sholde。 1190
Thanne seyde he thus; fulfild of heigh desdayn;
‘O cruel Iove; and thou; Fortune adverse;
This al and som; that falsly have ye slayn
Criseyde; and sin ye may do me no werse;
Fy on your might and werkes so diverse! 1195
Thus cowardly ye shul me never winne;
Ther shal no deeth me fro my lady twinne。
‘For I this world; sin ye han slayn hir thus;
Wol lete; and folowe hir spirit lowe or hye;
Shal never lover seyn that Troilus 1200
Dar not; for fere; with his lady dye;
For certeyn; I wol bere hir companye。
But sin ye wol not suffre us liven here;
Yet suffreth that our soules ben y…fere。
‘And thou; citee; whiche that I leve in wo; 1205
And thou; Pryam; and bretheren al y…fere;
And thou; my moder; farwel! For I go;
And Attropos; make redy thou my bere!
And thou; Criseyde; o swete herte dere;
Receyve now my spirit!' wolde he seye; 1210
With swerd at herte; al redy for to deye
But as god wolde; of swough ther…with she abreyde;
And gan to syke; and ‘Troilus' she cryde;
And he answerde; ‘Lady myn Criseyde;
Live ye yet?' and leet his swerd doun glyde。 1215
‘Ye; herte myn; that thanked be Cupyde!'
Quod she; and ther…with…al she sore sighte;
And he bigan to glade hir as he mighte;
Took hir in armes two; and kiste hir ofte;
And hir to glade he dide al his entente; 1220
For which hir goost; that flikered ay on…lofte;
In…to hir woful herte ayein it wente。
But at the laste; as that hir eyen glente
A…syde; anoon she gan his swerd aspye;
As it lay bare; and gan for fere crye; 1225
And asked him; why he it hadde out…drawe?
And Troilus anoon the cause hir tolde;
And how himself ther…with he wolde have slawe。
For which Criseyde up…on him gan biholde;
And gan him in hir armes faste folde; 1230
And seyde; ‘O mercy; god; lo; which a dede!
Allas! How neigh we were bothe dede!
‘Thanne if I ne hadde spoken; as grace was;
Ye wolde han slayn your…self anoon?' quod she。
‘Ye; douteless;' and she answerde; ‘Allas! 1235
For; by that ilke lord that made me;
I nolde a forlong wey on…lyve han be;
After your deeth; to han been crouned quene
Of al the lond the sonne on shyneth shene。
‘But with this selve swerd; which that here is; 1240
My…selve I wolde han slayn!' quod she tho;
‘But ho; for we han right y…now of this;
And late us ryse and streight to bedde go
And there lat ys speken of oure wo。
For; by the morter which that I see brenne; 1245
Knowe I ful wel that day is not fer henne。'
Whan they were in hir bedde; in armes folde;
Nought was it lyk tho nightes here…biforn;
For pitously ech other gan biholde;
As they that hadden al hir blisse y…lorn; 1250
Biwaylinge ay the day that they were born。
Til at the last this sorwful wight Criseyde
To Troilus these ilke wordes seyde:
‘Lo; herte myn; wel wot ye this;' quod she;
‘That if a wight alwey his wo compleyne; 1255
And seketh nought how holpen for to be;
It nis but folye and encrees of peyne;
And sin that here assembled be we tweyne
To finde bote of wo that we ben inne;
It were al tyme sone to biginne。 1260
‘I am a womman; as ful wel ye woot;
And as I am avysed sodeynly;
So wol I telle yow; whyl it is hoot。
Me thinketh thus; that nouther ye nor I
Oughte half this wo to make skilfully。 1265
For there is art y…now for to redresse
That yet is mis; and sleen this hevinesse。
‘Sooth is; the wo; the whiche that we ben inne;
For ought I woot; for no…thing elles is
But for the cause that we sholden twinne。 1270
Considered al; ther nis no…more amis。
But what is thanne a remede un…to this;
But that we shape us sone for to mete?
This al and som; my dere herte swete。
‘Now that I shal wel bringen it aboute 1275
To come ayein; sone after that I go;
Ther…of am I no maner thing in doute。
For dredeles; with…inne a wouke or two;
I shal ben here; and; that it may be so
By alle right; and in a wordes fewe; 1280
I shal yow wel an heep of weyes shewe。
‘For which I wol not make long sermoun;
For tyme y…lost may not recovered be;
But I wol gon to my conclusioun;
And to the beste; in ought that I can see。 1285
And; for the love of god; for…yeve it me
If I speke ought ayein your hertes reste;
For trewely; I speke it for the beste;
‘Makinge alwey a protestacioun;
That now these wordes; whiche that I shal seye; 1290
Nis but to shewe yow my mocioun;
To finde un…to our helpe the beste weye;
And taketh it non other wyse; I preye。
For in effect what…so ye me comaunde;
That wol I doon; for that is no demaunde。 1295
‘Now herkneth this; ye han wel understonde;
My goinge graunted is by parlement
So ferforth; that it may not be with…stonde
For al this world; as by my Iugement。
And sin ther helpeth noon avysement 1300
To letten it; lat it passe out of minde;
And lat us shape a bettre wey to finde。
‘The sothe is; that the twinninge of us tweyne
Wol us disese and cruelliche anoye。
But him bihoveth som…tyme han a peyne; 1305
That serveth love; if that he wol have Ioye。
And sin I shal no ferthere out of Troye
Than I may ryde ayein on half a morwe;
It oughte lesse causen us to sorwe。
‘So as I shal not so ben hid in muwe; 1310
That day by day; myn owene herte dere;
Sin wel ye woot that it is now a trewe;
Ye shal ful wel al myn estat y…here。
And er that truwe is doon; I shal ben here;
And thanne have ye bothe Antenor y…wonne 1315
And me also; beth glad now; if ye conne;
‘And thenk right thus; 〃Criseyde is now agoon;
But what! She shal come hastely ayeyn;〃
And whanne; allas? By god; lo; right anoon;
Er dayes ten; this dar I saufly seyn。 1320
And thanne at erste shul we been so fayn;
So as we shulle to…gederes ever dwelle;
That al this world ne mighte our blisse telle。
‘I see that ofte; ther…as we ben now;
That for the beste; our counseil for to hyde; 1325
Ye speke not with me; nor I with yow
In fourtenight; ne see yow go ne ryde。
May ye not ten dayes thanne abyde;
For myn honour; in swich an aventure?
Y…wis; ye mowen elles lite endure! 1330
‘Ye knowe eek how that al my kin is here;
But…if that onliche it my fader be;
And eek myn othere thinges alle y…fere;
And nameliche; my dere herte; ye;
Whom that I nolde leven for to see 1335
For al this world; as wyd as it hath space;
Or elles; see ich never Ioves face!
‘Why trowe ye my fader in this wyse
Coveiteth so to see me; but for drede
Lest in this toun that folkes me dispyse 1340
By…cause of him; for his unhappy dede?
What woot my fader what lyf that I lede?
For if he wiste in Troye how wel I fare;
Us neded for my wending nought to care。
‘Ye seen that every day eek; more and more; 1345
Men trete of pees; and it supposed is;
That men the quene Eleyne shal restore;
And Grekes us restore that is mis。
So though ther nere comfort noon but this;
That men purposen pees on every syde; 1350
Ye may the bettre at ese of herte abyde。
‘For if that it be pees; myn herte dere;
The nature of the pees mot nedes dryve
That men moste entrecomunen y…fere;
And to and fro eek ryde and gon as blyve 1355
Alday as thikke as been flen from an hyve;
And every wight han libertee to bleve
Where…as him list the bet; with…outen leve。
‘And though so be that pees ther may be noon;
Yet hider; though ther never pees ne were; 1360
I moste come; for whider sholde I goon;
Or how mischaunce sholde I dwelle there
Among tho men of armes ever in fere?
For which; as wisly god my soule rede;
I can not seen wher…of ye sholden drede。 1365
‘Have here another wey; if it so be
That al this thing ne may yow not suffyse。
My fader; as ye knowen wel; pardee;
Is old; and elde is ful of coveityse;
And I right now have founden al the gyse; 1370
With…oute net; wher…with I shal him hente;
And herkeneth how; if that ye wole assente。
‘Lo; Troilus; men seyn that hard it is
The wolf ful; and the wether hool to have;
This is to seyn; that men ful ofte; y…wis; 1375
Mot spenden part; the remenant for to save。
