And with what filthe it spotted sholde be;

If in this forme I sholde with yow wende。

Ne though I livede un…to the worldes ende;  1580

My name sholde I never ayeinward winne;

Thus were I lost; and that were routhe and sinne。



‘And for…thy slee with reson al this hete;

Men seyn; 〃The suffraunt overcometh;〃 pardee;

Eek 〃Who…so wol han leef; he lief mot lete;〃  1585

Thus maketh vertue of necessitee

By pacience; and thenk that lord is he

Of fortune ay; that nought wol of hir recche;

And she ne daunteth no wight but a wrecche。



‘And trusteth this; that certes; herte swete;  1590

Er Phebus suster; Lucina the shene;

The Leoun passe out of this Ariete;

I wol ben here; with…outen any wene。

I mene; as helpe me Iuno; hevenes quene;

The tenthe day; but…if that deeth me assayle;  1595

I wol yow seen with…outen any fayle。'



‘And now; so this be sooth;' quod Troilus;

‘I shal wel suffre un…to the tenthe day;

Sin that I see that nede it moot be thus。

But; for the love of god; if it be may;  1600

So lat us stele prively away;

For ever in oon; as for to live in reste;

Myn herte seyth that it wol been the beste。'



‘O mercy; god; what lyf is this?' quod she;

‘Allas; ye slee me thus for verray tene!  1605

I see wel now that ye mistrusten me;

For by your wordes it is wel y…sene。

Now; for the love of Cynthia the shene;

Mistrust me not thus causeles; for routhe;

Sin to be trewe I have yow plight my trouthe。  1610



‘And thenketh wel; that som tyme it is wit

To spende a tyme; a tyme for to winne;

Ne; pardee; lorn am I nought fro yow yit;

Though that we been a day or two a…twinne。

Dryf out the fantasyes yow with…inne;  1615

And trusteth me; and leveth eek your sorwe;

Or here my trouthe; I wol not live til morwe。



‘For if ye wiste how sore it doth me smerte;

Ye wolde cesse of this; for god; thou wost;

The pure spirit wepeth in myn herte;  1620

To see yow wepen that I love most;

And that I moot gon to the Grekes ost。

Ye; nere it that I wiste remedye

To come ayein; right here I wolde dye!



‘But certes; I am not so nyce a wight  1625

That I ne can imaginen a wey

To come ayein that day that I have hight。

For who may holde thing that wol a…way?

My fader nought; for al his queynte pley。

And by my thrift; my wending out of Troye  1630

Another day shal torne us alle to Ioye。



‘For…thy; with al myn herte I yow beseke;

If that yow list don ought for my preyere;

And for the love which that I love yow eke;

That er that I departe fro yow here;  1635

That of so good a comfort and a chere

I may you seen; that ye may bringe at reste

Myn herte; which that is at point to breste。



‘And over al this I pray yow;' quod she tho;

‘Myn owene hertes soothfast suffisaunce;  1640

Sin I am thyn al hool; with…outen mo;

That whyl that I am absent; no plesaunce

Of othere do me fro your remembraunce。

For I am ever a…gast; for…why men rede;

That 〃love is thing ay ful of bisy drede。〃  1645



‘For in this world ther liveth lady noon;

If that ye were untrewe; as god defende!

That so bitraysed were or wo bigoon

As I; that alle trouthe in yow entende。

And douteles; if that ich other wende;  1650

I nere but deed; and er ye cause finde;

For goddes love; so beth me not unkinde。'



To this answerde Troilus and seyde;

‘Now god; to whom ther nis no cause y…wrye;

Me glade; as wis I never un…to Criseyde;  1655

Sin thilke day I saw hir first with ye;

Was fals; ne never shal til that I dye。

At shorte wordes; wel ye may me leve;

I can no more; it shal be founde at preve。'



‘Graunt mercy; goode myn; y…wis;' quod she;  1660

‘And blisful Venus lat me never sterve

Er I may stonde of plesaunce in degree

To quyte him wel; that so wel can deserve;

And whyl that god my wit wol me conserve;

I shal so doon; so trewe I have yow founde;  1665

That ay honour to me…ward shal rebounde。



‘For trusteth wel; that your estat royal

Ne veyn delyt; nor only worthinesse

Of yow in werre; or torney marcial;

Ne pompe; array; nobley; or eek richesse;  1670

Ne made me to rewe on your distresse;

But moral vertue; grounded upon trouthe;

That was the cause I first hadde on yow routhe!



‘Eek gentil herte and manhod that ye hadde;

And that ye hadde; as me thoughte; in despyt  1675

Every thing that souned in…to badde;

As rudenesse and poeplish appetyt;

And that your reson brydled your delyt;

This made; aboven every creature;

That I was your; and shal; whyl I may dure。  1680



‘And this may lengthe of yeres not for…do;

Ne remuable fortune deface;

But Iuppiter; that of his might may do

The sorwful to be glad; so yeve us grace;

Er nightes ten; to meten in this place;  1685

So that it may your herte and myn suffyse;

And fareth now wel; for tyme is that ye ryse。'



And after that they longe y…pleyned hadde;

And ofte y…kist; and streite in armes folde;

The day gan ryse; and Troilus him cladde;  1690

And rewfulliche his lady gan biholde;

As he that felte dethes cares colde;

And to hir grace he gan him recomaunde;

Wher him was wo; this holde I no demaunde。



For mannes heed imaginen ne can;  1695

Ne entendement considere; ne tonge telle

The cruel peynes of this sorwful man;

That passen every torment doun in helle。

For whan he saugh that she ne mighte dwelle;

Which that his soule out of his herte rente;  1700

With…outen more; out of the chaumbre he wente。



Explicit Liber Quartus。







BOOK V



Incipit Liber Quintus。



Aprochen gan the fatal destinee

That Ioves hath in disposicioun;

And to yow; angry Parcas; sustren three;

Committeth; to don execucioun;

For which Criseyde moste out of the toun;  5

And Troilus shal dwelle forth in pyne

Til Lachesis his threed no lenger twyne。 



The golden…tressed Phebus heighe on…lofte

Thryes hadde alle with his bemes shene

The snowes molte; and Zephirus as ofte  10

Y…brought ayein the tendre leves grene;

Sin that the sone of Ecuba the quene

Bigan to love hir first; for whom his sorwe

Was al; that she departe sholde a…morwe。



Ful redy was at pryme Dyomede;  15

Criseyde un…to the Grekes ost to lede;

For sorwe of which she felt hir herte blede;

As she that niste what was best to rede。

And trewely; as men in bokes rede;

Men wiste never womman han the care;  20

Ne was so looth out of a toun to fare。



This Troilus; with…outen reed or lore;

As man that hath his Ioyes eek forlore;

Was waytinge on his lady ever…more

As she that was the soothfast crop and more  25

Of al his lust; or Ioyes here…tofore。

But Troilus; now farewel al thy Ioye;

For shaltow never seen hir eft in Troye!



Soth is; that whyl he bood in this manere;

He gan his wo ful manly for to hyde。  30

That wel unnethe it seen was in his chere;

But at the yate ther she sholde oute ryde

With certeyn folk; he hoved hir tabyde;

So wo bigoon; al wolde he nought him pleyne;

That on his hors unnethe he sat for peyne。  35



For ire he quook; so gan his herte gnawe;

Whan Diomede on horse gan him dresse;

And seyde un…to him…self this ilke sawe;

‘Allas;' quod he; ‘thus foul a wrecchednesse

Why suffre ich it; why nil ich it redresse?  40

Were it not bet at ones for to dye

Than ever…more in langour thus to drye?



‘Why nil I make at ones riche and pore

To have y…nough to done; er that she go?

Why nil I bringe al Troye upon a rore?  45

Why nil I sleen this Diomede also?

Why nil I rather with a man or two

Stele hir a…way? Why wol I this endure?

Why nil I helpen to myn owene cure?'



But why he nolde doon so fel a dede;  50

That shal I seyn; and why him liste it spare;

He hadde in herte alweyes a maner drede;

Lest that Criseyde; in rumour of this fare;

Sholde han ben slayn; lo; this was al his care。

And ellis; certeyn; as I seyde yore;  55

He hadde it doon; with…outen wordes more。



Criseyde; whan she redy was to ryde;

Ful sorwfully she sighte; and seyde ‘Allas!'

But forth she moot; for ought that may bityde;

And forth she rit ful sorwfully a pas。  60

Ther nis non other remedie in this cas。

What wonder is though that hir sore smerte;

Whan she forgoth hir owene swete herte?



This Troilus; in wyse of curteisye;

With hauke on hond; and with an huge route  65

Of knightes; rood and dide hir companye;

Passinge al the valey fer with…oute;

And ferther wolde han riden; out of doute;

Ful fayn; and wo was him to goon so sone;

But torne he moste; and it was eek to done。  70



And right with that was Antenor y…come

Out of the Grekes ost; and every wight

Was of it glad; and seyde he was wel…come。

And Troilus; al nere his herte light;

He peyned him with al his fulle might  75

Him to with…holde of wepinge at the leste;

And Antenor he kiste; and made feste。



And ther…with…al he moste his leve take;

And caste his eye upon hir pitously;

And neer he rood; his cause for to make;  80

To take hir by the honde al sobr
