To me than king of Grece been and Troye!
‘Suffiseth this; my fulle freend Pandare; 610
That I have seyd; for now wostow my wo;
And for the love of god; my colde care
So hyd it wel; I telle it never to mo;
For harmes mighte folwen; mo than two;
If it were wist; but be thou in gladnesse; 615
And lat me sterve; unknowe; of my distresse。'
‘How hastow thus unkindely and longe
Hid this fro me; thou fool?' quod Pandarus;
‘Paraunter thou might after swich oon longe;
That myn avys anoon may helpen us。' 620
‘This were a wonder thing;' quod Troylus;
‘Thou coudest never in love thy…selven wisse;
How devel maystow bringen me to blisse?'
‘Ye; Troilus; now herke;' quod Pandare;
‘Though I be nyce; it happeth ofte so; 625
That oon that exces doth ful yvele fare;
By good counseyl can kepe his freend ther…fro。
I have my…self eek seyn a blind man go
Ther…as he fel that coude loke wyde;
A fool may eek a wys man ofte gyde。 630
‘A whetston is no kerving instrument;
And yet it maketh sharpe kerving…tolis。
And ther thou woost that I have ought miswent;
Eschewe thou that; for swich thing to thee scole is;
Thus ofte wyse men ben war by folis。 635
If thou do so; thy wit is wel biwared;
By his contrarie is every thing declared。
‘For how might ever sweetnesse have be knowe
To him that never tasted bitternesse?
Ne no man may be inly glad; I trowe; 640
That never was in sorwe or som distresse;
Eek whyt by blak; by shame eek worthinesse;
Ech set by other; more for other semeth;
As men may see; and so the wyse it demeth。
‘Sith thus of two contraries is a lore; 645
I; that have in love so ofte assayed
Grevaunces; oughte conne; and wel the more
Counsayllen thee of that thou art amayed。
Eek thee ne oughte nat ben yvel apayed;
Though I desyre with thee for to bere 650
Thyn hevy charge; it shal the lasse dere。
‘I woot wel that it fareth thus by me
As to thy brother Parys an herdesse;
Which that y…cleped was Oenone;
Wrot in a compleynte of hir hevinesse: 655
Ye say the lettre that she wroot; y gesse?'
‘Nay; never yet; y…wis;' quod Troilus。
‘Now;' quod Pandare; ‘herkneth; it was thus。
〃Phebus; that first fond art of medicyne;'
Quod she; ‘and coude in every wightes care 660
Remede and reed; by herbes he knew fyne;
Yet to him…self his conning was ful bare;
For love hadde him so bounden in a snare;
Al for the doughter of the kinge Admete;
That al his craft ne coude his sorwe bete。〃 665
‘Right so fare I; unhappily for me;
I love oon best; and that me smerteth sore;
And yet; paraunter; can I rede thee;
And not my…self; repreve me no more。
I have no cause; I woot wel; for to sore 670
As doth an hauk that listeth for to pleye;
But to thyn help yet somwhat can I seye。
‘And of o thing right siker maystow be;
That certayn; for to deyen in the peyne;
That I shal never…mo discoveren thee; 675
Ne; by my trouthe; I kepe nat restreyne
Thee fro thy love; thogh that it were Eleyne;
That is thy brotheres wif; if ich it wiste;
Be what she be; and love hir as thee liste。
‘Therfore; as freend fullich in me assure; 680
And tel me plat what is thyn enchesoun;
And final cause of wo that ye endure;
For douteth no…thing; myn entencioun
Nis nought to yow of reprehencioun;
To speke as now; for no wight may bireve 685
A man to love; til that him list to leve。
‘And witeth wel; that bothe two ben vyces;
Mistrusten alle; or elles alle leve;
But wel I woot; the mene of it no vyce is;
For to trusten sum wight is a preve 690
Of trouthe; and for…thy wolde I fayn remeve
Thy wrong conseyte; and do thee som wight triste;
Thy wo to telle; and tel me; if thee liste。
‘The wyse seyth; 〃Wo him that is allone;
For; and he falle; he hath noon help to ryse;〃 695
And sith thou hast a felawe; tel thy mone;
For this nis not; certeyn; the nexte wyse
To winnen love; as techen us the wyse;
To walwe and wepe as Niobe the quene;
Whos teres yet in marbel been y…sene。 700
‘Lat be thy weping and thi drerinesse;
And lat us lissen wo with other speche;
So may thy woful tyme seme lesse。
Delyte not in wo thy wo to seche;
As doon thise foles that hir sorwes eche 705
With sorwe; whan they han misaventure;
And listen nought to seche hem other cure。
‘Men seyn; 〃To wrecche is consolacioun
To have an…other felawe in his peyne;〃
That oughte wel ben our opinioun; 710
For; bothe thou and I; of love we pleyne;
So ful of sorwe am I; soth for to seyne;
That certeynly no more harde grace
May sitte on me; for…why ther is no space。
‘If god wole thou art not agast of me; 715
Lest I wolde of thy lady thee bigyle;
Thow wost thy…self whom that I love; pardee;
As I best can; gon sithen longe whyle。
And sith thou wost I do it for no wyle;
And sith I am he that thou tristest most; 720
Tel me sumwhat; sin al my wo thou wost。'
Yet Troilus; for al this; no word seyde;
But longe he ley as stille as he ded were;
And after this with sykinge he abreyde;
And to Pandarus voys he lente his ere; 725
And up his eyen caste he; that in fere
Was Pandarus; lest that in frenesye
He sholde falle; or elles sone dye;
And cryde ‘A…wake' ful wonderly and sharpe;
‘What? Slombrestow as in a lytargye? 730
Or artow lyk an asse to the harpe;
That hereth soun; whan men the strenges plye;
But in his minde of that no melodye
May sinken; him to glade; for that he
So dul is of his bestialitee?' 735
And with that; Pandare of his wordes stente;
And Troilus yet him no word answerde;
For…why to telle nas not his entente
To never no man; for whom that he so ferde。
For it is seyd; ‘Man maketh ofte a yerde 740
With which the maker is him…self y…beten
In sondry maner;' as thise wyse treten;
And namely; in his counseyl tellinge
That toucheth love that oughte be secree;
For of him…self it wolde y…nough out…springe; 745
But…if that it the bet governed be。
Eek som…tyme it is craft to seme flee
Fro thing which in effect men hunte faste;
Al this gan Troilus in his herte caste。
But nathelees; whan he had herd him crye 750
‘Awake!' he gan to syke wonder sore;
And seyde; ‘Freend; though that I stille lye;
I am not deef; now pees; and cry no more;
For I have herd thy wordes and thy lore;
But suffre me my mischef to biwayle; 755
For thy proverbes may me nought avayle。
‘Nor other cure canstow noon for me。
Eek I nil not be cured; I wol deye;
What knowe I of the quene Niobe?
Lat be thyne olde ensaumples; I thee preye。' 760
‘No;' quod tho Pandarus; ‘therfore I seye;
Swich is delyt of foles to biwepe
Hir wo; but seken bote they ne kepe。
‘Now knowe I that ther reson in the fayleth。
But tel me; if I wiste what she were 765
For whom that thee al this misaunter ayleth?
Dorstestow that I tolde hir in hir ere
Thy wo; sith thou darst not thy…self for fere;
And hir bisoughte on thee to han som routhe?'
‘Why; nay;' quod he; ‘by god and by my trouthe!' 770
‘What; Not as bisily;' quod Pandarus;
‘As though myn owene lyf lay on this nede?'
‘No; certes; brother;' quod this Troilus;
‘And why?' ‘For that thou sholdest never spede。'
‘Wostow that wel?' ‘Ye; that is out of drede;' 775
Quod Troilus; ‘for al that ever ye conne;
She nil to noon swich wrecche as I be wonne。'
Quod Pandarus; ‘Allas! What may this be;
That thou dispeyred art thus causelees?
What? Liveth not thy lady? Benedicite! 780
How wostow so that thou art gracelees?
Swich yvel is nat alwey botelees。
Why; put not impossible thus thy cure;
Sin thing to come is ofte in aventure。
‘I graunte wel that thou endurest wo 785
As sharp as doth he; Ticius; in helle;
Whos stomak foules tyren ever…mo
That highte volturis; as bokes telle。
But I may not endure that thou dwelle
In so unskilful an opinioun 790
That of thy wo is no curacioun。
‘But ones niltow; for thy coward herte;
And for thyn ire and folish wilfulnesse;
For wantrust; tellen of thy sorwes smerte;
Ne to thyn owene help do bisinesse 795
As muche as speke a resoun more or lesse;
But lyest as he that list of no…thing recche。
What womman coude love swich a wrecche?
‘What may she demen other of thy deeth;
If thou thus deye; and she not why it is; 800
But that for fere is yolden up thy breeth;
For Grekes han biseged us; y…wis?
Lord; which a thank than shaltow han of this!
Thus wol she seyn; and al the toun at ones;
〃The wrecche is deed; the devel have his bones!〃 805
‘Thou mayst allone here wepe and crye and knele;
But; love a woman that she woot it nought;
And she wol quyte that thou shalt not fele;
Unknowe; unkist; and lost that is un…sought。
What! Many a man hath love ful dere y…bought 810
Twenty winter that his lady wiste;
That never yet his lady mouth he kiste。
‘What? Shulde be therfor fallen in despeyr;
Or be recreaunt for his owene tene;
Or sleen him…self; al be his
