‘What? Shulde be therfor fallen in despeyr;
Or be recreaunt for his owene tene;
Or sleen him…self; al be his lady fayr? 815
Nay; nay; but ever in oon be fresh and grene
To serve and love his dere hertes quene;
And thenke it is a guerdoun hir to serve
A thousand…fold more than he can deserve。'
Of that word took hede Troilus; 820
And thoughte anoon what folye he was inne;
And how that sooth him seyde Pandarus;
That for to sleen him…self mighte he not winne;
But bothe doon unmanhod and a sinne;
And of his deeth his lady nought to wyte; 825
For of his wo; god woot; she knew ful lyte。
And with that thought he gan ful sore syke;
And seyde; ‘Allas! What is me best to do?'
To whom Pandare answered; ‘If thee lyke;
The best is that thou telle me thy wo; 830
And have my trouthe; but thou it finde so;
I be thy bote; or that it be ful longe;
To peces do me drawe; and sithen honge!'
‘Ye; so thou seyst;' quod Troilus tho; ‘allas!
But; god wot; it is not the rather so; 835
Ful hard were it to helpen in this cas;
For wel finde I that Fortune is my fo;
Ne alle the men that ryden conne or go
May of hir cruel wheel the harm withstonde;
For; as hir list; she pleyeth with free and bonde。' 840
Quod Pandarus; ‘Than blamestow Fortune
For thou art wrooth; ye; now at erst I see;
Wostow nat wel that Fortune is commune
To every maner wight in som degree?
And yet thou hast this comfort; lo; pardee! 845
That; as hir Ioyes moten over…goon;
So mote hir sorwes passen everichoon。
‘For if hir wheel stinte any…thing to torne;
Than cessed she Fortune anoon to be:
Now; sith hir wheel by no wey may soiorne; 850
What wostow if hir mutabilitee
Right as thy…selven list; wol doon by thee;
Or that she be not fer fro thyn helpinge?
Paraunter; thou hast cause for to singe!
‘And therfor wostow what I thee beseche? 855
Lat be thy wo and turning to the grounde;
For who…so list have helping of his leche;
To him bihoveth first unwrye his wounde。
To Cerberus in helle ay be I bounde;
Were it for my suster; al thy sorwe; 860
By my wil; she sholde al be thyn to…morwe。
‘Loke up; I seye; and tel me what she is
Anoon; that I may goon aboute thy nede;
Knowe ich hir ought? For my love; tel me this;
Than wolde I hopen rather for to spede。' 865
Tho gan the veyne of Troilus to blede;
For he was hit; and wex al reed for shame;
‘A ha!' quod Pandare; ‘Here biginneth game!'
And with that word he gan him for to shake;
And seyde; ‘Theef; thou shalt hir name telle。' 870
But tho gan sely Troilus for to quake
As though men sholde han led him in…to helle;
And seyde; ‘Allas! Of al my wo the welle;
Than is my swete fo called Criseyde!'
And wel nigh with the word for fere he deyde。 875
And whan that Pandare herde hir name nevene;
Lord; he was glad; and seyde; ‘Freend so dere;
Now fare a…right; for Ioves name in hevene;
Love hath biset the wel; be of good chere;
For of good name and wysdom and manere 880
She hath y…nough; and eek of gentilesse;
If she be fayr; thou wost thy…self; I gesse;
‘Ne I never saw a more bountevous
Of hir estat; ne a gladder; ne of speche
A freendlier; ne a more gracious 885
For to do wel; ne lasse hadde nede to seche
What for to doon; and al this bet to eche;
In honour; to as fer as she may strecche;
A kinges herte semeth by hirs a wrecche。
‘And for…thy loke of good comfort thou be; 890
For certeinly; the firste poynt is this
Of noble corage and wel ordeyne;
A man to have pees with him…self; y…wis;
So oughtest thou; for nought but good it is
To loven wel; and in a worthy place; 895
Thee oghte not to clepe it hap; but grace。
‘And also thenk; and ther…with glade thee;
That sith thy lady vertuous is al;
So folweth it that ther is som pitee
Amonges alle thise othere in general; 900
And for…thy see that thou; in special;
Requere nought that is ayein hir name;
For vertue streccheth not him…self to shame。
‘But wel is me that ever that I was born;
That thou biset art in so good a place; 905
For by my trouthe; in love I dorste have sworn;
Thee sholde never han tid thus fayr a grace;
And wostow why? For thou were wont to chace
At Love in scorn; and for despyt him calle
〃Seynt Idiot; lord of thise foles alle。〃 910
‘How often hastow maad thy nyce Iapes;
And seyd; that loves servants everichone
Of nycetee been verray goddes apes;
And some wolde monche hir mete alone;
Ligging a…bedde; and make hem for to grone; 915
And som; thou seydest; hadde a blaunche fevere;
And preydest god he sholde never kevere。
‘And som of hem tok on hem; for the colde;
More than y…nough; so seydestow ful ofte;
And som han feyned ofte tyme; and tolde 920
How that they wake; whan they slepen softe;
And thus they wolde han brought hem…self a…lofte;
And nathelees were under at the laste;
Thus seydestow; and Iapedest ful faste。
‘Yet seydestow; that; for the more part; 925
These loveres wolden speke in general;
And thoughten that it was a siker art;
For fayling; for to assayen over…al。
Now may I iape of thee; if that I shal!
But nathelees; though that I sholde deye; 930
That thou art noon of tho; that dorste I seye。
‘Now beet thy brest; and sey to god of love;
〃Thy grace; lord! For now I me repente
If I mis spak; for now my…self I love:〃
Thus sey with al thyn herte in good entente。' 935
Quod Troilus; ‘A! Lord! I me consente;
And prey to thee my Iapes thou foryive;
And I shal never…more whyl I live。'
‘Thou seyst wel;' quod Pandare; ‘and now I hope
That thou the goddes wraththe hast al apesed; 940
And sithen thou hast wepen many a drope;
And seyd swich thing wher…with thy god is plesed;
Now wolde never god but thou were esed;
And think wel; she of whom rist al thy wo
Here…after may thy comfort been al…so。 945
‘For thilke ground; that bereth the wedes wikke;
Bereth eek thise holsom herbes; as ful ofte
Next the foule netle; rough and thikke;
The rose waxeth swote and smothe and softe;
And next the valey is the hil a…lofte; 950
And next the derke night the glade morwe;
And also Ioye is next the fyn of sorwe。
‘Now loke that atempre be thy brydel;
And; for the beste; ay suffre to the tyde;
Or elles al our labour is on ydel; 955
He hasteth wel that wysly can abyde;
Be diligent; and trewe; and ay wel hyde。
Be lusty; free; persevere in thy servyse;
And al is wel; if thou werke in this wyse。
‘But he that parted is in every place 960
Is no…wher hool; as writen clerkes wyse;
What wonder is; though swich oon have no grace?
Eek wostow how it fareth of som servyse?
As plaunte a tre or herbe; in sondry wyse;
And on the morwe pulle it up as blyve; 965
No wonder is; though it may never thryve。
‘And sith that god of love hath thee bistowed
In place digne un…to thy worthinesse;
Stond faste; for to good port hastow rowed;
And of thy…self; for any hevinesse; 970
Hope alwey wel; for; but…if drerinesse
Or over…haste our bothe labour shende;
I hope of this to maken a good ende。
‘And wostow why I am the lasse a…fered
Of this matere with my nece trete? 975
For this have I herd seyd of wyse y…lered;
〃Was never man ne woman yet bigete
That was unapt to suffren loves hete;
Celestial; or elles love of kinde;〃
For…thy som grace I hope in hir to finde。 980
‘And for to speke of hir in special;
Hir beautee to bithinken and hir youthe;
It sit hir nought to be celestial
As yet; though that hir liste bothe and couthe;
But trewely; it sete hir wel right nouthe 985
A worthy knight to loven and cheryce;
And but she do; I holde it for a vyce。
‘Wherfore I am; and wol be; ay redy
To peyne me to do yow this servyse;
For bothe yow to plese thus hope I 990
Her…afterward; for ye beth bothe wyse;
And conne it counseyl kepe in swich a wyse
That no man shal the wyser of it be;
And so we may be gladed alle three。
‘And; by my trouthe; I have right now of thee 995
A good conceyt in my wit; as I gesse;
And what it is; I wol now that thou see。
I thenke; sith that love; of his goodnesse;
Hath thee converted out of wikkednesse;
That thou shalt be the beste post; I leve; 1000
Of al his lay; and most his foos to…greve。
‘Ensample why; see now these wyse clerkes;
That erren aldermost a…yein a lawe;
And ben converted from hir wikked werkes
Thorugh grace of god; that list hem to him drawe; 1005
Than arn they folk that han most god in awe;
And strengest…feythed been; I understonde;
And conne an errour alder…best withstonde。'
Whan Troilus had herd Pandare assented
To been his help in loving of Criseyde; 1010
Wex of his wo; as who seyth; untormented;
But hotter wex his love; and thus he seyde;
With sobre chere; al…though his herte pleyde;
‘Now blisful Venus helpe; er that I sterve;
Of thee; Pandare; I may som thank deserve。 1015
‘But; dere frend; how shal myn wo ben l
