Is now for…doon; and that is al my routhe。
‘Was ther non other broche yow liste lete
To feffe with your newe love;' quod he;
‘But thilke broche that I; with teres wete; 1690
Yow yaf; as for a remembraunce of me?
Non other cause; allas; ne hadde ye
But for despyt; and eek for that ye mente
Al…outrely to shewen your entente!
‘Through which I see that clene out of your minde 1695
Ye han me cast; and I ne can nor may;
For al this world; with…in myn herte finde
To unloven yow a quarter of a day!
In cursed tyme I born was; weylaway!
That ye; that doon me al this wo endure; 1700
Yet love I best of any creature。
‘Now god;' quod he; ‘me sende yet the grace
That I may meten with this Diomede!
And trewely; if I have might and space;
Yet shal I make; I hope; his sydes blede。 1705
O god;' quod he; ‘that oughtest taken hede
To fortheren trouthe; and wronges to punyce;
Why niltow doon a vengeaunce of this vyce?
‘O Pandare; that in dremes for to triste
Me blamed hast; and wont art oft up…breyde; 1710
Now maystow see thy…selve; if that thee liste;
How trewe is now thy nece; bright Criseyde!
In sondry formes; god it woot;' he seyde;
‘The goddes shewen bothe Ioye and tene
In slepe; and by my dreme it is now sene。 1715
‘And certaynly; with…oute more speche;
From hennes…forth; as ferforth as I may;
Myn owene deeth in armes wol I seche;
I recche not how sone be the day!
But trewely; Criseyde; swete may; 1720
Whom I have ay with al my might y…served;
That ye thus doon; I have it nought deserved。'
This Pandarus; that alle these thinges herde;
And wiste wel he seyde a sooth of this;
He nought a word ayein to him answerde; 1725
For sory of his frendes sorwe he is;
And shamed; for his nece hath doon a…mis;
And stant; astoned of these causes tweye;
As stille as stoon; a word ne coude he seye。
But at the laste thus he spak; and seyde; 1730
‘My brother dere; I may thee do no…more。
What shulde I seyn? I hate; y…wis; Criseyde!
And; god wot; I wol hate hir evermore!
And that thou me bisoughtest doon of yore;
Havinge un…to myn honour ne my reste 1735
Right no reward; I dide al that thee leste。
‘If I dide ought that mighte lyken thee;
It is me leef; and of this treson now;
God woot; that it a sorwe is un…to me!
And dredelees; for hertes ese of yow; 1740
Right fayn wolde I amende it; wiste I how。
And fro this world; almighty god I preye;
Delivere hir sone; I can no…more seye。'
Gret was the sorwe and pleynt of Troilus;
But forth hir cours fortune ay gan to holde。 1745
Criseyde loveth the sone of Tydeus;
And Troilus mot wepe in cares colde。
Swich is this world; who…so it can biholde;
In eche estat is litel hertes reste;
God leve us for to take it for the beste! 1750
In many cruel batayle; out of drede;
Of Troilus; this ilke noble knight;
As men may in these olde bokes rede;
Was sene his knighthod and his grete might。
And dredelees; his ire; day and night; 1755
Ful cruelly the Grekes ay aboughte;
And alwey most this Diomede he soughte。
And ofte tyme; I finde that they mette
With blody strokes and with wordes grete;
Assayinge how hir speres weren whette; 1760
And god it woot; with many a cruel hete
Gan Troilus upon his helm to bete。
But natheles; fortune it nought ne wolde;
Of others hond that either deyen sholde。
And if I hadde y…taken for to wryte 1765
The armes of this ilke worthy man;
Than wolde I of his batailles endyte。
But for that I to wryte first bigan
Of his love; I have seyd as that I can。
His worthy dedes; who…so list hem here; 1770
Reed Dares; he can telle hem alle y…fere。
Bisechinge every lady bright of hewe;
And every gentil womman; what she be;
That al be that Criseyde was untrewe;
That for that gilt she be not wrooth with me。 1775
Ye may hir gilt in othere bokes see;
And gladlier I wole wryten; if yow leste;
Penolopees trouthe and good Alceste。
Ne I sey not this al…only for these men;
But most for wommen that bitraysed be 1780
Through false folk; god yeve hem sorwe; amen!
That with hir grete wit and subtiltee
Bitrayse yow! And this commeveth me
To speke; and in effect yow alle I preye;
Beth war of men; and herkeneth what I seye! 1785
Go; litel book; go litel myn tragedie;
Ther god thy maker yet; er that he dye;
So sende might to make in som comedie!
But litel book; no making thou nenvye;
But subgit be to alle poesye; 1790
And kis the steppes; wher…as thou seest pace
Virgile; Ovyde; Omer; Lucan; and Stace。
And for ther is so greet diversitee
In English and in wryting of our tonge;
So preye I god that noon miswryte thee; 1795
Ne thee mismetre for defaute of tonge。
And red wher…so thou be; or elles songe;
That thou be understonde I god beseche!
But yet to purpos of my rather speche。
The wraththe; as I began yow for to seye; 1800
Of Troilus; the Grekes boughten dere;
For thousandes his hondes maden deye;
As he that was with…outen any pere;
Save Ector; in his tyme; as I can here。
But weylawey; save only goddes wille; 1805
Dispitously him slough the fiers Achille。
And whan that he was slayn in this manere;
His lighte goost ful blisfully is went
Up to the holownesse of the seventh spere;
In convers letinge every element; 1810
And ther he saugh; with ful avysement;
The erratik sterres; herkeninge armonye
With sownes fulle of hevenish melodye。
And doun from thennes faste he gan avyse
This litel spot of erthe; that with the see 1815
Embraced is; and fully gan despyse
This wrecched world; and held al vanitee
To respect of the pleyn felicitee
That is in hevene above; and at the laste;
Ther he was slayn; his loking doun he caste; 1820
And in him…self he lough right at the wo
Of hem that wepten for his deeth so faste;
And dampned al our werk that folweth so
The blinde lust; the which that may not laste;
And sholden al our herte on hevene caste。 1825
And forth he wente; shortly for to telle;
Ther as Mercurie sorted him to dwelle。
Swich fyn hath; lo; this Troilus for love;
Swich fyn hath al his grete worthinesse;
Swich fyn hath his estat real above; 1830
Swich fyn his lust; swich fyn hath his noblesse;
Swich fyn hath false worldes brotelnesse。
And thus bigan his lovinge of Criseyde;
As I have told; and in this wyse he deyde。
O yonge fresshe folkes; he or she; 1835
In which that love up groweth with your age;
Repeyreth hoom from worldly vanitee;
And of your herte up…casteth the visage
To thilke god that after his image
Yow made; and thinketh al nis but a fayre 1840
This world; that passeth sone as floures fayre。
And loveth him; the which that right for love
Upon a cros; our soules for to beye;
First starf; and roos; and sit in hevene a…bove;
For he nil falsen no wight; dar I seye; 1845
That wol his herte al hoolly on him leye。
And sin he best to love is; and most meke;
What nedeth feyned loves for to seke?
Lo here; of Payens corsed olde rytes;
Lo here; what alle hir goddes may availle; 1850
Lo here; these wrecched worldes appetytes;
Lo here; the fyn and guerdon for travaille
Of Iove; Appollo; of Mars; of swich rascaille!
Lo here; the forme of olde clerkes speche
In poetrye; if ye hir bokes seche。 1855
O moral Gower; this book I directe
To thee; and to the philosophical Strode;
To vouchen sauf; ther nede is; to corecte;
Of your benignitees and zeles gode。
And to that sothfast Crist; that starf on rode; 1860
With al myn herte of mercy ever I preye;
And to the lord right thus I speke and seye:
Thou oon; and two; and three; eterne on…lyve;
That regnest ay in three and two and oon;
Uncircumscript; and al mayst circumscryve; 1865
Us from visible and invisible foon
Defende; and to thy mercy; everichoon;
So make us; Iesus; for thy grace digne;
For love of mayde and moder thyn benigne! Amen。
