‘Yet coude I telle a thing to doon you pleye。'

‘Now; uncle dere;' quod she; ‘tel it us

For goddes love; is than the assege aweye?

I am of Grekes so ferd that I deye。'

‘Nay; nay;' quod he; ‘as ever mote I thryve!  125

It is a thing wel bet than swiche fyve。'



‘Ye; holy god;' quod she; ‘what thing is that?

What! Bet than swiche fyve? Ey; nay; y…wis!

For al this world ne can I reden what

It sholde been; som Iape; I trowe; is this;  130

And but your…selven telle us what it is;

My wit is for to arede it al to lene;

As help me god; I noot nat what ye meene。'



‘And I your borow; ne never shal; for me;

This thing be told to yow; as mote I thryve!'  135

‘And why so; uncle myn? Why so?' quod she。

‘By god;' quod he; ‘that wole I telle as blyve;

For prouder womman were ther noon on…lyve;

And ye it wiste; in al the toun of Troye;

I iape nought; as ever have I Ioye!'  140



Tho gan she wondren more than biforn

A thousand fold; and doun hir eyen caste;

For never; sith the tyme that she was born;

To knowe thing desired she so faste;

And with a syk she seyde him at the laste;  145

‘Now; uncle myn; I nil yow nought displese;

Nor axen more; that may do yow disese。'



So after this; with many wordes glade;

And freendly tales; and with mery chere;

Of this and that they pleyde; and gunnen wade  150

In many an unkouth glad and deep matere;

As freendes doon; whan they ben met y…fere;

Til she gan axen him how Ector ferde;

That was the tounes wal and Grekes yerde。



‘Ful wel; I thanke it god;' quod Pandarus;  155

‘Save in his arm he hath a litel wounde;

And eek his fresshe brother Troilus;

The wyse worthy Ector the secounde;

In whom that ever vertu list abounde;

As alle trouthe and alle gentillesse;  160

Wysdom; honour; fredom; and worthinesse。'



‘In good feith; eem;' quod she; ‘that lyketh me;

They faren wel; god save hem bothe two!

For trewely I holde it greet deyntee

A kinges sone in armes wel to do;  165

And been of good condiciouns ther…to;

For greet power and moral vertu here

Is selde y…seye in o persone y…fere。'



‘In good feith; that is sooth;' quod Pandarus;

‘But; by my trouthe; the king hath sones tweye;  170

That is to mene; Ector and Troilus;

That certainly; though that I sholde deye;

They been as voyde of vyces; dar I seye;

As any men that liveth under the sonne;

Hir might is wyde y…knowe; and what they conne。  175



‘Of Ector nedeth it nought for to telle:

In al this world ther nis a bettre knight

Than he; that is of worthinesse welle;

And he wel more vertu hath than might。

This knoweth many a wys and worthy wight。  180

The same prys of Troilus I seye;

God help me so; I knowe not swiche tweye。'



‘By god;' quod she; ‘of Ector that is sooth;

Of Troilus the same thing trowe I;

For; dredelees; men tellen that he dooth  185

In armes day by day so worthily;

And bereth him here at hoom so gentilly

To every wight; that al the prys hath he

Of hem that me were levest preysed be。'



‘Ye sey right sooth; y…wis;' quod Pandarus;  190

‘For yesterday; who…so hadde with him been;

He might have wondred up…on Troilus;

For never yet so thikke a swarm of been

Ne fleigh; as Grekes fro him gonne fleen;

And thorugh the feld; in everi wightes ere;  195

Ther nas no cry but 〃Troilus is there!〃



‘Now here; now there; he hunted hem so faste;

Ther nas but Grekes blood; and Troilus;

Now hem he hurte; and hem alle doun he caste;

Ay where he wente; it was arayed thus:  200

He was hir deeth; and sheld and lyf for us;

That as that day ther dorste noon with…stonde;

Whyl that he held his blody swerd in honde。



‘Therto he is the freendlieste man

Of grete estat; that ever I saw my lyve;  205

And wher him list; best felawshipe can

To suche as him thinketh able for to thryve。'

And with that word tho Pandarus; as blyve;

He took his leve; and seyde; ‘I wol go henne。'

‘Nay; blame have I; myn uncle;' quod she thenne。  210



‘What eyleth yow to be thus wery sone;

And namelich of wommen? Wol ye so?

Nay; sitteth down; by god; I have to done

With yow; to speke of wisdom er ye go。'

And every wight that was a…boute hem tho;  215

That herde that; gan fer a…wey to stonde;

Whyl they two hadde al that hem liste in honde。



Whan that hir tale al brought was to an ende;

Of hire estat and of hir governaunce;

Quod Pandarus; ‘Now is it tyme I wende;  220

But yet; I seye; aryseth; lat us daunce;

And cast your widwes habit to mischaunce:

What list yow thus your…self to disfigure;

Sith yow is tid thus fair an aventure?'



‘A! Wel bithought! For love of god;' quod she;  225

‘Shal I not witen what ye mene of this?'

‘No; this thing axeth layser;' tho quod he;

‘And eek me wolde muche greve; y…wis;

If I it tolde; and ye it toke amis。

Yet were it bet my tonge for to stille  230

Than seye a sooth that were ayeins your wille。



‘For; nece; by the goddesse Minerve;

And Iuppiter; that maketh the thonder ringe;

And by the blisful Venus that I serve;

Ye been the womman in this world livinge;  235

With…oute paramours; to my wittinge;

That I best love; and lothest am to greve;

And that ye witen wel your…self; I leve。'



‘Y…wis; myn uncle;' quod she; ‘grant mercy;

Your freendship have I founden ever yit;  240

I am to no man holden trewely;

So muche as yow; and have so litel quit;

And; with the grace of god; emforth my wit;

As in my gilt I shal you never offende;

And if I have er this; I wol amende。  245



‘But; for the love of god; I yow beseche;

As ye ben he that I love most and triste;

Lat be to me your fremde manere speche;

And sey to me; your nece; what yow liste:'

And with that word hir uncle anoon hir kiste;  250

And seyde; ‘Gladly; leve nece dere;

Tak it for good that I shal seye yow here。'



With that she gan hir eiyen doun to caste;

And Pandarus to coghe gan a lyte;

And seyde; ‘Nece; alwey; lo! To the laste;  255

How…so it be that som men hem delyte

With subtil art hir tales for to endyte;

Yet for al that; in hir entencioun

Hir tale is al for som conclusioun。



‘And sithen thende is every tales strengthe;  260

And this matere is so bihovely;

What sholde I peynte or drawen it on lengthe

To yow; that been my freend so feithfully?'

And with that word he gan right inwardly

Biholden hir; and loken on hir face;  265

And seyde; ‘On suche a mirour goode grace!'



Than thoughte he thus: ‘If I my tale endyte

Ought hard; or make a proces any whyle;

She shal no savour han ther…in but lyte;

And trowe I wolde hir in my wil bigyle。  270

For tendre wittes wenen al be wyle

Ther…as they can nat pleynly understonde;

For…thy hir wit to serven wol I fonde '



And loked on hir in a besy wyse;

And she was war that he byheld hir so;  275

And seyde; ‘Lord! So faste ye me avyse!

Sey ye me never er now? What sey ye; no?'

‘Yes; yes;' quod he; ‘and bet wole er I go;

But; by my trouthe; I thoughte now if ye

Be fortunat; for now men shal it see。  280



‘For to every wight som goodly aventure

Som tyme is shape; if he it can receyven;

And if that he wol take of it no cure;

Whan that it commeth; but wilfully it weyven;

Lo; neither cas nor fortune him deceyven;  285

But right his verray slouthe and wrecchednesse;

And swich a wight is for to blame; I gesse。



‘Good aventure; O bele nece; have ye

Ful lightly founden; and ye conne it take;

And; for the love of god; and eek of me;  290

Cacche it anoon; lest aventure slake。

What sholde I lenger proces of it make?

Yif me your hond; for in this world is noon;

If that yow list; a wight so wel begoon。



‘And sith I speke of good entencioun;  295

As I to yow have told wel here…biforn;

And love as wel your honour and renoun

As creature in al this world y…born;

By alle the othes that I have yow sworn;

And ye be wrooth therfore; or wene I lye;  300

Ne shal I never seen yow eft with ye。



‘Beth nought agast; ne quaketh nat; wher…to?

Ne chaungeth nat for fere so your hewe;

For hardely the werste of this is do;

And though my tale as now be to yow newe;  305

Yet trist alwey; ye shal me finde trewe;

And were it thing that me thoughte unsittinge;

To yow nolde I no swiche tales bringe。'



‘Now; my good eem; for goddes love; I preye;'

Quod she; ‘com of; and tel me what it is;  310

For bothe I am agast what ye wol seye;

And eek me longeth it to wite; y…wis。

For whether it be wel or be amis;

That; bot ye helpe; it wol his bane be。  320

Lo; here is al; what sholde I more seye?

Doth what yow list; to make him live or deye。
