My fadres graunt if that I so withstode, Sin she is chaunged for the tounes goode.

`I have eek thought, so it were hir assent, To aske hir at my fader, of his grace; 555 Than thenke I, this were hir accusement, Sin wel I woot I may hir not purchace.
For sin my fader, in so heigh a place As parlement, hath hir eschaunge enseled, He nil for me his lettre be repeled. 560

`Yet drede I most hir herte to pertourbe With violence, if I do swich a game;
For if I wolde it openly distourbe, It moste been disclaundre to hir name.
And me were lever deed than hir defame, 565 As nolde god but-if I sholde have
Hir honour lever than my lyf to save!

`Thus am I lost, for ought that I can see; For certeyn is, sin that I am hir knight, I moste hir honour levere han than me 570 In every cas, as lovere oughte of right. Thus am I with desyr and reson twight;
Desyr for to destourben hir me redeth, And reson nil not, so myn herte dredeth.’

Thus wepinge that he coude never cesse, 575 He seyde, `Allas! How shal I, wrecche, fare? For wel fele I alwey my love encresse,
And hope is lasse and lasse alwey, Pandare! Encressen eek the causes of my care;
So wel-a-wey, why nil myn herte breste? 580 For, as in love, ther is but litel reste.’

Pandare answerde, `Freend, thou mayst, for me, Don as thee list; but hadde ich it so hote, And thyn estat, she sholde go with me;
Though al this toun cryede on this thing by note, 585 I nolde sette at al that noyse a grote.
For when men han wel cryed, than wol they roune; A wonder last but nyne night never in toune.

`Devyne not in reson ay so depe
Ne curteysly, but help thy-self anoon; 590 Bet is that othere than thy-selven wepe, And namely, sin ye two been al oon.
Rys up, for by myn heed, she shal not goon; And rather be in blame a lyte y-founde
Than sterve here as a gnat, with-oute wounde. 595

`It is no shame un-to yow, ne no vyce Hir to with-holden, that ye loveth most. Paraunter, she mighte holden thee for nyce To lete hir go thus to the Grekes ost.
Thenk eek Fortune, as wel thy-selven wost, 600 Helpeth hardy man to his enpryse,
And weyveth wrecches, for hir cowardyse.

`And though thy lady wolde a litel hir greve, Thou shalt thy pees ful wel here-after make, But as for me, certayn, I can not leve 605 That she wolde it as now for yvel take.
Why sholde than for ferd thyn herte quake? Thenk eek how Paris hath, that is thy brother, A love; and why shaltow not have another?

`And Troilus, o thing I dar thee swere, 610 That if Criseyde, whiche that is thy leef, Now loveth thee as wel as thou dost here, God helpe me so, she nil nat take a-greef, Though thou do bote a-noon in this mischeef. And if she wilneth fro thee for to passe, 615 Thanne is she fals; so love hir wel the lasse.

`For-thy tak herte, and thenk, right as a knight, Thourgh love is broken alday every lawe. Kyth now sumwhat thy corage and thy might, Have mercy on thy-self, for any awe. 620 Lat not this wrecched wo thin herte gnawe, But manly set the world on sixe and sevene; And, if thou deye a martir, go to hevene.

`I wol my-self be with thee at this dede, Though ich and al my kin, up-on a stounde, 625 Shulle in a strete as dogges liggen dede, Thourgh-girt with many a wyd and blody wounde. In every cas I wol a freend be founde.
And if thee list here sterven as a wrecche, A-dieu, the devel spede him that it recche!’ 630

This Troilus gan with tho wordes quiken, And seyde, `Freend, graunt mercy, ich assente; But certaynly thou mayst not me so priken, Ne peyne noon ne may me so tormente,
That, for no cas, it is not myn entente, 635 At shorte wordes, though I dyen sholde,
To ravisshe hir, but-if hir-self it wolde.’

`Why, so mene I,’ quod Pandarus, `al this day. But tel me than, hastow hir wil assayed, That sorwest thus?’ And he answerde, `Nay.’ `Wher-of artow,’ quod Pandare, `than a-mayed, 640 That nost not that she wol ben y-vel apayed To ravisshe hir, sin thou hast not ben there, But-if that Iove tolde it in thyn ere?

`For-thy rys up, as nought ne were, anoon, 645 And wash thy face, and to the king thou wende, Or he may wondren whider thou art goon.
Thou most with wisdom him and othere blende; Or, up-on cas, he may after thee sende
Er thou be war; and shortly, brother dere, 650 Be glad, and lat me werke in this matere.

`For I shal shape it so, that sikerly Thou shalt this night som tyme, in som manere, Com speke with thy lady prevely,
And by hir wordes eek, and by hir chere, 655 Thou shalt ful sone aperceyve and wel here Al hir entente, and in this cas the beste; And fare now wel, for in this point I reste.’

The swifte Fame, whiche that false thinges Egal reporteth lyk the thinges trewe, 660 Was thorugh-out Troye y-fled with preste winges Fro man to man, and made this tale al newe, How Calkas doughter, with hir brighte hewe, At parlement, with-oute wordes more,
I-graunted was in chaunge of Antenore. 665

The whiche tale anoon-right as Criseyde Had herd, she, which that of hir fader roughte, As in this cas, right nought, ne whanne he deyde, Ful bisily to Iuppiter bisoughte
Yeve hem mischaunce that this tretis broughte. 670 But shortly, lest thise tales sothe were, She dorste at no wight asken it, for fere.

As she that hadde hir herte and al hir minde On Troilus y-set so wonder faste,
That al this world ne mighte hir love unbinde, 675 Ne Troilus out of hir herte caste;
She wol ben his, whyl that hir lyf may laste. And thus she brenneth bothe in love and drede, So that she niste what was best to rede.

But as men seen in toune, and al aboute, 680 That wommen usen frendes to visyte,
So to Criseyde of wommen com a route For pitous Ioye, and wenden hir delyte;
And with hir tales, dere y-nough a myte, These wommen, whiche that in the cite dwelle, 685 They sette hem doun, and seyde as I shal telle.

Quod first that oon, `I am glad, trewely, By-cause of yow, that shal your fader see.’ A-nother seyde, `Y-wis, so nam not I,
For al to litel hath she with us be.’ 690 Quod tho the thridde, `I hope, y-wis, that she Shal bringen us the pees on every syde,
That, whan she gooth, almighty god hir gyde!’

Tho wordes and tho wommanisshe thinges, She herde hem right as though she thennes were; 695 For, god it wot, hir herte on other thing is, Although the body sat among hem there.
Hir advertence is alwey elles-where; For Troilus ful faste hir soule soughte; With-outen word, alwey on him she thoughte. 700

Thise wommen, that thus wenden hir to plese, Aboute nought gonne alle hir tales spende; Swich vanitee ne can don hir non ese,
As she that, al this mene whyle. brende Of other passioun than that they wende, 705 So that she felte almost hir herte deye
For wo, and wery of that companye.

For which no lenger mighte she restreyne Hir teres, so they gonnen up to welle,
That yaven signes of the bitter peyne 710 In whiche hir spirit was, and moste dwelle; Remembring hir, fro heven unto which helle She fallen was, sith she forgoth the sighte Of Troilus, and sorowfully she sighte.

And thilke foles sittinge hir aboute 715 Wenden, that she wepte and syked sore
By-cause that she sholde out of that route Departe, and never pleye with hem more.
And they that hadde y-knowen hir of yore Seye hir so wepe, and thoughte it kindenesse, 720 And eche of hem wepte eek for hir destresse;

And bisily they gonnen hir conforten
Of thing, god wot, on which she litel thoughte; And with hir tales wenden hir disporten, And to be glad they often hir bisoughte. 725 But swich an ese ther-with they hir wroughte Right as a man is esed for to fele,
For ache of heed, to clawen him on his hele!

But after al this nyce vanitee
They took hir leve, and hoom they wenten alle. 730 Criseyde, ful of sorweful pitee,
In-to hir chaumbre up wente out of the halle, And on hir bed she gan for deed to falle, In purpos never thennes for to ryse;
And thus she wroughte, as I shal yow devyse. 735

Hir ounded heer, that sonnish was of hewe, She rente, and eek hir fingres longe and smale She wrong ful ofte, and bad god on hir rewe, And with the deeth to doon bote on hir bale. Hir hewe, whylom bright, that tho was pale, 740 Bar witnes of hir wo and hir constreynte; And thus she spak, sobbinge, in hir compleynte:

`Alas!’ quod she, `out of this regioun I, woful wrecche and infortuned wight,
And born in corsed constellacioun, 745 Mot goon, and thus departen fro my knight; Wo worth, allas! That ilke dayes light
On which I saw him first with eyen tweyne, That causeth me, and I him, al this peyne!’

Therwith the teres from hir eyen two 750 Doun fille, as shour in Aperill ful swythe; Hir whyte brest she bet, and for the wo
After the deeth she cryed a thousand sythe, Sin he that wont hir wo was for to lythe, She mot for-goon; for which disaventure 755 She held hir-self a forlost creature.

She seyde, `How shal he doon, and I also? How sholde I live, if that I from him twinne? O dere herte eek, that I love so,
Who shal that sorwe sleen that ye ben inne? 760 O Calkas, fader, thyn be al this sinne!
O moder myn, that cleped were Argyve, Wo worth that day that thou me bere on lyve!

`To what fyn sholde I live and sorwen thus? How sholde a fish with-oute water dure? 765 What is Criseyde worth, from Troilus?
How sholde a plaunte or lyves creature Live, with-oute his kinde noriture?
For which ful oft a by-word here I seye, That “rotelees, mot grene sone deye.” 770

`I shal don thus, sin neither swerd ne darte Dar I non handle, for the crueltee,
That ilke day that I from yow departe, If sorwe of that nil not my bane be,
Than shal no mete or drinke come in me 775 Til I my soule out of my breste unshethe; And thus my-selven wol I do to dethe.

`And, Troilus, my clothes everichoon
Shul blake been, in tokeninge, herte swete, That I am as out of this world agoon, 780 That wont was yow to setten in quiete;
And of myn ordre, ay til deeth me mete, The observaunce ever, in your absence,
Shal sorwe been, compleynte, and abstinence.

`Myn herte and eek the woful goost ther-inne 785 Biquethe I, with your spirit to compleyne Eternally, for they shal never twinne.
For though in erthe y-twinned be we tweyne, Yet in the feld of pitee, out of peyne,
That hight Elysos, shul we been y-fere, 790 As Orpheus and Erudice, his fere.

`Thus, herte myn, for Antenor, allas! I sone shal be chaunged, as I wene.
But how shul ye don in this sorwful cas, How shal youre tendre herte this sustene? 795 But herte myn, for-yet this sorwe and tene, And me also; for, soothly for to seye,
So ye wel fare, I recche not to deye.’

How mighte it ever y-red ben or y-songe, The pleynte that she made in hir distresse? 800 I noot; but, as for me, my litel tonge,
If I discreven wolde hir hevinesse, It sholde make hir sorwe seme lesse
Than that it was, and childishly deface Hir heigh compleynte, and therfore I it pace. 805

Pandare, which that sent from Troilus Was to Criseyde, as ye han herd devyse,
That for the beste it was accorded thus, And he ful glad to doon him that servyse, Un-to Criseyde, in a ful secree wyse, 810 Ther-as she lay in torment and in rage,
Com hir to telle al hoolly his message,

And fond that she hir-selven gan to trete Ful pitously; for with hir salte teres
Hir brest, hir face, y-bathed was ful wete; 815 The mighty tresses of hir sonnish heres, Unbroyden, hangen al aboute hir eres;
Which yaf him verray signal of martyre Of deeth, which that hir herte gan desyre.

Whan she him saw, she gan for sorwe anoon 820 Hir tery face a-twixe hir armes hide,
For which this Pandare is so wo bi-goon, That in the hous he mighte unnethe abyde, As he that pitee felte on every syde.
For if Criseyde hadde erst compleyned sore, 825 Tho gan she pleyne a thousand tymes more.

And in hir aspre pleynte than she seyde, `Pandare first of Ioyes mo than two
Was cause causinge un-to me, Criseyde, That now transmuwed been in cruel wo. 830 Wher shal I seye to yow “wel come” or no, That alderfirst me broughte in-to servyse Of love, allas! That endeth in swich wyse?

`Endeth than love in wo? Ye, or men lyeth! And alle worldly blisse, as thinketh me. 835 The ende of blisse ay sorwe it occupyeth; And who-so troweth not that it so be,
Lat him upon me, woful wrecche, y-see, That my-self hate, and ay my birthe acorse, Felinge alwey, fro wikke I go to worse. 840

`Who-so me seeth, he seeth sorwe al at ones, Peyne, torment, pleynte, wo, distresse.
Out of my woful body harm ther noon is, As anguish, langour, cruel bitternesse,
A-noy, smert, drede, fury, and eek siknesse. 845 I trowe, y-wis, from hevene teres reyne, For pitee of myn aspre and cruel peyne! ‘

`And thou, my suster, ful of discomfort,’ Quod Pandarus, `what thenkestow to do?
Why ne hastow to thy-selven som resport, 850 Why woltow thus thy-selve, allas, for-do? Leef al this werk and tak now hede to
That I shal seyn, and herkne, of good entente, This, which by me thy Troilus thee sente.’

Torned hir tho Criseyde, a wo makinge 855 So greet that it a deeth was for to see: — `Allas!’ quod she, `what wordes may ye bringe? What wol my dere herte seyn to me,
Which that I drede never-mo to see? Wol he have pleynte or teres, er I wende? 860 I have y-nowe, if he ther-after sende!’

She was right swich to seen in hir visage As is that wight that men on bere binde; Hir face, lyk of Paradys the image,
Was al y-chaunged in another kinde. 865 The pleye, the laughtre men was wont to finde On hir, and eek hir Ioyes everychone,
Ben fled, and thus lyth now Criseyde allone.

Aboute hir eyen two a purpre ring
Bi-trent, in sothfast tokninge of hir peyne, 870 That to biholde it was a dedly thing,
For which Pandare mighte not restreyne The teres from his eyen for to reyne.
But nathelees, as he best mighte, he seyde From Troilus thise wordes to Criseyde. 875

`Lo, nece, I trowe ye han herd al how The king, with othere lordes, for the beste, Hath mad eschaunge of Antenor and yow,
That cause is of this sorwe and this unreste. But how this cas doth Troilus moleste, 880 That may non erthely mannes tonge seye;
For verray wo his wit is al aweye.

`For which we han so sorwed, he and I, That in-to litel bothe it hadde us slawe; But thurgh my conseil this day, fynally, 885 He somwhat is fro weping now with-drawe. And semeth me that he desyreth fawe
With yow to been al night, for to devyse Remede in this, if ther were any wyse.

`This, short and pleyne, theffect of my message, 890 As ferforth as my wit can comprehende.
For ye, that been of torment in swich rage, May to no long prologe as now entende;
And her-upon ye may answere him sende. And, for the love of god, my nece dere, 895 So leef this wo er Troilus be here.’

`Gret is my wo,’ quod she, and sighte sore, As she that feleth dedly sharp distresse; `But yet to me his sorwe is muchel more, That love him bet than he him-self, I gesse. 900 Allas! For me hath he swich hevinesse?
Can he for me so pitously compleyne? Y-wis, his sorwe doubleth al my peyne.

`Grevous to me, god wot, is for to twinne,’ Quod she, `but yet it hardere is to me 905 To seen that sorwe which that he is inne; For wel wot I, it wol my bane be;
And deye I wol in certayn,’ tho quod she; `But bidde him come, er deeth, that thus me threteth, Dryve out that goost which in myn herte beteth.’ 910

Thise wordes seyd, she on hir armes two Fil gruf, and gan to wepe pitously.
Quod Pandarus, `Allas! Why do ye so, Syn wel ye woot the tyme is faste by,
That he shal come? Arys up hastely, 915 That he yow nat biwopen thus ne finde,
But ye wol have him wood out of his minde!

`For wiste he that ye ferde in this manere, He wolde him-selve slee; and if I wende
To han this fare, he sholde not come here 920 For al the good that Pryam may despende. For to what fyn he wolde anoon pretende, That knowe I wel; and for-thy yet I seye, So leef this sorwe, or platly he wol deye.

`And shapeth yow his sorwe for to abregge, 925 And nought encresse, leve nece swete;
Beth rather to him cause of flat than egge, And with som wysdom ye his sorwes bete.
What helpeth it to wepen ful a strete, Or though ye bothe in salte teres dreynte? 930 Bet is a tyme of cure ay than of pleynte.

`I mene thus; whan I him hider bringe, Sin ye ben wyse, and bothe of oon assent, So shapeth how distourbe your goinge,
Or come ayen, sone after ye be went. 935 Wommen ben wyse in short avysement;
And lat sen how your wit shal now avayle; And what that I may helpe, it shal not fayle.’

`Go,’ quod Criseyde, `and uncle, trewely, I shal don al my might, me to restreyne 940 From weping in his sighte, and bisily,
Him for to glade, I shal don al my peyne, And in myn herte seken every veyne;
If to this soor ther may be founden salve, It shal not lakken, certain, on myn halve.’ 945

Goth Pandarus, and Troilus he soughte, Til in a temple he fond him allone,
As he that of his lyf no lenger roughte; But to the pitouse goddes everichone
Ful tendrely he preyde, and made his mone, 950 To doon him sone out of this world to pace; For wel he thoughte ther was non other grace.

And shortly, al the sothe for to seye, He was so fallen in despeyr that day,
That outrely he shoop him for to deye. 955 For right thus was his argument alwey:
He seyde, he nas but loren, waylawey! `For al that comth, comth by necessitee; Thus to be lorn, it is my destinee.

`For certaynly, this wot I wel,’ he seyde, 960 `That for-sight of divyne purveyaunce
Hath seyn alwey me to for-gon Criseyde, Sin god seeth every thing, out of doutaunce, And hem disponeth, thourgh his ordenaunce, In hir merytes sothly for to be, 965
As they shul comen by predestinee.

`But nathelees, allas! Whom shal I leve? For ther ben grete clerkes many oon,
That destinee thorugh argumentes preve; And som men seyn that nedely ther is noon; 970 But that free chois is yeven us everichoon. O, welaway! So sleye arn clerkes olde,
That I not whos opinion I may holde.

`For som men seyn, if god seth al biforn, Ne god may not deceyved ben, pardee, 975 Than moot it fallen, though men hadde it sworn, That purveyaunce hath seyn bifore to be. Wherfor I seye, that from eterne if he
Hath wist biforn our thought eek as our dede, We have no free chois, as these clerkes rede. 980

`For other thought nor other dede also Might never be, but swich as purveyaunce, Which may not ben deceyved never-mo,
Hath feled biforn, with-outen ignoraunce. For if ther mighte been a variaunce 985
To wrythen out fro goddes purveyinge, Ther nere no prescience of thing cominge;

`But it were rather an opinioun
Uncerteyn, and no stedfast forseinge; And certes, that were an abusioun, 990
That god shuld han no parfit cleer witinge More than we men that han doutous weninge. But swich an errour up-on god to gesse
Were fals and foul, and wikked corsednesse.

`Eek this is an opinioun of somme 995 That han hir top ful heighe and smothe y-shore; They seyn right thus, that thing is not to come For that the prescience hath seyn bifore That it shal come; but they seyn that therfore That it shal come, therfore the purveyaunce 1000 Wot it biforn with-outen ignoraunce;

`And in this manere this necessitee
Retorneth in his part contrarie agayn. For needfully bihoveth it not to be
That thilke thinges fallen in certayn 1005 That ben purveyed; but nedely, as they seyn, Bihoveth it that thinges, whiche that falle, That they in certayn ben purveyed alle.

`I mene as though I laboured me in this, To enqueren which thing cause of which thing be; 1010 As whether that the prescience of god is The certayn cause of the necessitee
Of thinges that to comen been, pardee; Or if necessitee of thing cominge
Be cause certeyn of the purveyinge. 1015

`But now ne enforce I me nat in shewinge How the ordre of causes stant; but wel wot I, That it bihoveth that the bifallinge
Of thinges wist biforen certeynly
Be necessarie, al seme it not ther-by 1020 That prescience put falling necessaire
To thing to come, al falle it foule or faire.

`For if ther sit a man yond on a see, Than by necessitee bihoveth it
That, certes, thyn opinioun soth be, 1025 That wenest or coniectest that he sit;
And ferther-over now ayenward yit,
Lo, right so it is of the part contrarie, As thus; (now herkne, for I wol not tarie):

`I seye, that if the opinioun of thee 1030 Be sooth, for that he sit, than seye I this, That he mot sitten by necessitee;
And thus necessitee in either is.
For in him nede of sittinge is, y-wis, And in thee nede of sooth; and thus, forsothe, 1035 Ther moot necessitee ben in yow bothe.

`But thou mayst seyn, the man sit not therfore, That thyn opinioun of sitting soth is;
But rather, for the man sit ther bifore, Therfore is thyn opinioun sooth, y-wis. 1040 And I seye, though the cause of sooth of this Comth of his sitting, yet necessitee
Is entrechaunged, bothe in him and thee.

`Thus on this same wyse, out of doutaunce, I may wel maken, as it semeth me, 1045
My resoninge of goddes purveyaunce, And of the thinges that to comen be;
By whiche reson men may wel y-see,
That thilke thinges that in erthe falle, That by necessitee they comen alle. 1050

`For al-though that, for thing shal come, y-wis, Therfore is it purveyed, certaynly,
Nat that it comth for it purveyed is: Yet nathelees, bihoveth it nedfully,
That thing to come be purveyed, trewely; 1055 Or elles, thinges that purveyed be,
That they bityden by necessitee.

`And this suffyseth right y-now, certeyn, For to destroye our free chois every del. — But now is this abusion, to seyn, 1060
That fallinge of the thinges temporel Is cause of goddes prescience eternel.
Now trewely, that is a fals sentence, That thing to come sholde cause his prescience.

`What mighte I wene, and I hadde swich a thought, 1065 But that god purveyth thing that is to come For that it is to come, and elles nought? So mighte I wene that thinges alle and some, That whylom been bifalle and over-come,
Ben cause of thilke sovereyn purveyaunce, 1070 That for-wot al with-outen ignoraunce.

`And over al this, yet seye I more herto, That right as whan I woot ther is a thing, Y-wis, that thing mot nedefully be so;
Eek right so, whan I woot a thing coming, 1075 So mot it come; and thus the bifalling
Of thinges that ben wist bifore the tyde, They mowe not been eschewed on no syde.’

Than seyde he thus, `Almighty Iove in trone, That wost of al this thing the soothfastnesse, 1080 Rewe on my sorwe, or do me deye sone,
Or bring Criseyde and me fro this distresse.’ And whyl he was in al this hevinesse,
Disputinge with him-self in this matere, Com Pandare in, and seyde as ye may here. 1085

`O mighty god,’ quod Pandarus, `in trone, Ey! Who seigh ever a wys man faren so?
Why, Troilus, what thenkestow to done? Hastow swich lust to been thyn owene fo? What, parde, yet is not Criseyde a-go! 1090 Why list thee so thy-self for-doon for drede, That in thyn heed thyn eyen semen dede?

`Hastow not lived many a yeer biforn
With-outen hir, and ferd ful wel at ese? Artow for hir and for non other born? 1095 Hath kinde thee wroughte al-only hir to plese? Lat be, and thenk right thus in thy disese. That, in the dees right as ther fallen chaunces, Right so in love, ther come and goon plesaunces.

`And yet this is a wonder most of alle, 1100 Why thou thus sorwest, sin thou nost not yit, Touching hir goinge, how that it shal falle, Ne if she can hir-self distorben it.
Thou hast not yet assayed al hir wit. A man may al by tyme his nekke bede 1105 Whan it shal of, and sorwen at the nede.

`For-thy take hede of that that I shal seye; I have with hir y-spoke and longe y-be,
So as accorded was bitwixe us tweye. And ever-mor me thinketh thus, that she 1110 Hath som-what in hir hertes prevetee,
Wher-with she can, if I shal right arede, Distorbe al this, of which thou art in drede.

`For which my counseil is, whan it is night, Thou to hir go, and make of this an ende; 1115 And blisful Iuno, thourgh hir grete mighte, Shal, as I hope, hir grace un-to us sende. Myn herte seyth, “Certeyn, she shal not wende;” And for-thy put thyn herte a whyle in reste; And hold this purpos, for it is the beste.’ 1120

This Troilus answerde, and sighte sore, `Thou seyst right wel, and I wil do right so;’ And what him liste, he seyde un-to it more. And whan that it was tyme for to go,
Ful prevely him-self, with-outen mo, 1125 Un-to hir com, as he was wont to done;
And how they wroughte, I shal yow telle sone.

Soth is, that whan they gonne first to mete, So gan the peyne hir hertes for to twiste, That neither of hem other mighte grete, 1130 But hem in armes toke and after kiste.
The lasse wofulle of hem bothe niste Wher that he was, ne mighte o word out-bringe, As I seyde erst, for wo and for sobbinge.

Tho woful teres that they leten falle 1135 As bittre weren, out of teres kinde,
For peyne, as is ligne aloes or galle. So bittre teres weep nought, as I finde, The woful Myrra through the bark and rinde. That in this world ther nis so hard an herte, 1140 That nolde han rewed on hir peynes smerte.

But whan hir woful wery gostes tweyne Retorned been ther-as hem oughte dwelle, And that som-what to wayken gan the peyne By lengthe of pleynte, and ebben gan the welle 1145 Of hire teres, and the herte unswelle,
With broken voys, al hoors for-shright, Criseyde To Troilus thise ilke wordes seyde:

`O Iove, I deye, and mercy I beseche! Help, Troilus!’ And ther-with-al hir face 1150 Upon his brest she leyde, and loste speche; Hir woful spirit from his propre place,
Right with the word, alwey up poynt to pace. And thus she lyth with hewes pale and grene, That whylom fresh and fairest was to sene. 1155

This Troilus, that on hir gan biholde, Clepinge hir name, (and she lay as for deed, With-oute answere, and felte hir limes colde, Hir eyen throwen upward to hir heed),
This sorwful man can now noon other reed, 1160 But ofte tyme hir colde mouth he kiste;
Wher him was wo, god and him-self it wiste!

He rist him up, and long streight he hir leyde; For signe of lyf, for ought he can or may, Can he noon finde in no-thing on Criseyde, 1165 For which his song ful ofte is `weylaway!’ But whan he saugh that specheles she lay, With sorwful voys and herte of blisse al bare, He seyde how she was fro this world y-fare!

So after that he longe hadde hir compleyned, 1170 His hondes wrong, and seyde that was to seye, And with his teres salte hir brest bireyned, He gan tho teris wypen of ful dreye,
And pitously gan for the soule preye, And seyde, `O lord, that set art in thy trone, 1175 Rewe eek on me, for I shal folwe hir sone!’

She cold was and with-outen sentement, For aught he woot, for breeth ne felte he noon; And this was him a preignant argument
That she was forth out of this world agoon; 1180 And whan he seigh ther was non other woon, He gan hir limes dresse in swich manere
As men don hem that shul be leyd on bere.

And after this, with sterne and cruel herte, His swerd a-noon out of his shethe he twighte, 1185 Him-self to sleen, how sore that him smerte, So that his sowle hir sowle folwen mighte, Ther-as the doom of Mynos wolde it dighte; Sin love and cruel Fortune it ne wolde,
That in this world he lenger liven sholde. 1190

Thanne seyde he thus, fulfild of heigh desdayn, `O cruel Iove, and thou, Fortune adverse, This al and som, that falsly have ye slayn Criseyde, and sin ye may do me no werse, Fy on your might and werkes so diverse! 1195 Thus cowardly ye shul me never winne;
Ther shal no deeth me fro my lady twinne.

`For I this world, sin ye han slayn hir thus, Wol lete, and folowe hir spirit lowe or hye; Shal never lover seyn that Troilus 1200
Dar not, for fere, with his lady dye; For certeyn, I wol bere hir companye.
But sin ye wol not suffre us liven here, Yet suffreth that our soules ben y-fere.

`And thou, citee, whiche that I leve in wo, 1205 And thou, Pryam, and bretheren al y-fere, And thou, my moder, farwel! For I go;
And Attropos, make redy thou my bere! And thou, Criseyde, o swete herte dere,
Receyve now my spirit!’ wolde he seye, 1210 With swerd at herte, al redy for to deye

But as god wolde, of swough ther-with she abreyde, And gan to syke, and `Troilus’ she cryde; And he answerde, `Lady myn Criseyde,
Live ye yet?’ and leet his swerd doun glyde. 1215 `Ye, herte myn, that thanked be Cupyde!’ Quod she, and ther-with-al she sore sighte; And he bigan to glade hir as he mighte;

Took hir in armes two, and kiste hir ofte, And hir to glade he dide al his entente; 1220 For which hir goost, that flikered ay on-lofte, In-to hir woful herte ayein it wente.
But at the laste, as that hir eyen glente A-syde, anoon she gan his swerd aspye,
As it lay bare, and gan for fere crye, 1225

And asked him, why he it hadde out-drawe? And Troilus anoon the cause hir tolde,
And how himself ther-with he wolde have slawe. For which Criseyde up-on him gan biholde, And gan him in hir armes faste folde, 1230 And seyde, `O mercy, god, lo, which a dede! Allas! How neigh we were bothe dede!

`Thanne if I ne hadde spoken, as grace was, Ye wolde han slayn your-self anoon?’ quod she. `Ye, douteless;’ and she answerde, `Allas! 1235 For, by that ilke lord that made me,
I nolde a forlong wey on-lyve han be, After your deeth, to han been crouned quene Of al the lond the sonne on shyneth shene.

`But with this selve swerd, which that here is, 1240 My-selve I wolde han slayn!’ — quod she tho; `But ho, for we han right y-now of this, And late us ryse and streight to bedde go And there lat ys speken of oure wo.
For, by the morter which that I see brenne, 1245 Knowe I ful wel that day is not fer henne.’

Whan they were in hir bedde, in armes folde, Nought was it lyk tho nightes here-biforn; For pitously ech other gan biholde,
As they that hadden al hir blisse y-lorn, 1250 Biwaylinge ay the day that they were born. Til at the last this sorwful wight Criseyde To Troilus these ilke wordes seyde: —

`Lo, herte myn, wel wot ye this,’ quod she, `That if a wight alwey his wo compleyne, 1255 And seketh nought how holpen for to be,
It nis but folye and encrees of peyne; And sin that here assembled be we tweyne To finde bote of wo that we ben inne,
It were al tyme sone to biginne. 1260

`I am a womman, as ful wel ye woot,
And as I am avysed sodeynly,
So wol I telle yow, whyl it is hoot. Me thinketh thus, that nouther ye nor I
Oughte half this wo to make skilfully. 1265 For there is art y-now for to redresse
That yet is mis, and sleen this hevinesse.

`Sooth is, the wo, the whiche that we ben inne, For ought I woot, for no-thing elles is
But for the cause that we sholden twinne. 1270 Considered al, ther nis no-more amis.
But what is thanne a remede un-to this, But that we shape us sone for to mete?
This al and som, my dere herte swete.

`Now that I shal wel bringen it aboute 1275 To come ayein, sone after that I go,
Ther-of am I no maner thing in doute. For dredeles, with-inne a wouke or two,
I shal ben here; and, that it may be so By alle right, and in a wordes fewe, 1280 I shal yow wel an heep of weyes shewe.

`For which I wol not make long sermoun, For tyme y-lost may not recovered be;
But I wol gon to my conclusioun,
And to the beste, in ought that I can see. 1285 And, for the love of god, for-yeve it me If I speke ought ayein your hertes reste; For trewely, I speke it for the beste;

`Makinge alwey a protestacioun,
That now these wordes, whiche that I shal seye, 1290 Nis but to shewe yow my mocioun,
To finde un-to our helpe the beste weye; And taketh it non other wyse, I preye.
For in effect what-so ye me comaunde, That wol I doon, for that is no demaunde. 1295
