The morwe com; and goostly for to speke;  1030

This Diomede is come un…to Criseyde;

And shortly; lest that ye my tale breke;

So wel he for him…selve spak and seyde;

That alle hir sykes sore adoun he leyde。

And fynally; the sothe for to seyne;  1035

He refte hir of the grete of al hir peyne。



And after this the story telleth us;

That she him yaf the faire baye stede;

The which he ones wan of Troilus;

And eek a broche (and that was litel nede)  1040

That Troilus was; she yaf this Diomede。

And eek; the bet from sorwe him to releve;

She made him were a pencel of hir sleve。



I finde eek in stories elles…where;

Whan through the body hurt was Diomede  1045

Of Troilus; tho weep she many a tere;

Whan that she saugh his wyde woundes blede;

And that she took to kepen him good hede;

And for to hele him of his sorwes smerte。

Men seyn; I not; that she yaf him hir herte。  1050



But trewely; the story telleth us;

Ther made never womman more wo

Than she; whan that she falsed Troilus。

She seyde; ‘Allas! For now is clene a…go

My name of trouthe in love; for ever…mo!  1055

For I have falsed oon; the gentileste

That ever was; and oon the worthieste!



‘Allas; of me; un…to the worldes ende;

Shal neither been y…writen nor y…songe

No good word; for thise bokes wol me shende。  1060

O; rolled shal I been on many a tonge;

Through…out the world my belle shal be ronge;

And wommen most wol hate me of alle。

Allas; that swich a cas me sholde falle!



‘They wol seyn; in as muche as in me is;  1065

I have hem don dishonour; weylawey!

Al be I not the first that dide amis;

What helpeth that to do my blame awey?

But sin I see there is no bettre way;

And that to late is now for me to rewe;  1070

To Diomede algate I wol be trewe。



‘But Troilus; sin I no better may;

And sin that thus departen ye and I;

Yet preye I god; so yeve yow right good day

As for the gentileste; trewely;  1075

That ever I say; to serven feithfully;

And best can ay his lady honour kepe:' 

And with that word she brast anon to wepe。



‘And certes yow ne haten shal I never;

And freendes love; that shal ye han of me;  1080

And my good word; al mighte I liven ever。

And; trewely; I wolde sory be

For to seen yow in adversitee。

And giltelees; I woot wel; I yow leve;

But al shal passe; and thus take I my leve。'  1085



But trewely; how longe it was bitwene;

That she for…sook him for this Diomede;

Ther is non auctor telleth it; I wene。

Take every man now to his bokes hede;

He shal no terme finden; out of drede。  1090

For though that he bigan to wowe hir sone;

Er he hir wan; yet was ther more to done。



Ne me ne list this sely womman chyde

Ferther than the story wol devyse。

Hir name; allas! Is publisshed so wyde;  1095

That for hir gilt it oughte y…noe suffyse。

And if I mighte excuse hir any wyse;

For she so sory was for hir untrouthe;

Y…wis; I wolde excuse hir yet for routhe。



This Troilus; as I biforn have told;  1100

Thus dryveth forth; as wel as he hath might。

But often was his herte hoot and cold;

And namely; that ilke nynthe night;

Which on the morwe she hadde him byhight

To come ayein: god wot; ful litel reste  1105

Hadde he that night; no…thing to slepe him leste。



The laurer…crouned Phebus; with his hete;

Gan; in his course ay upward as he wente;

To warmen of the est see the wawes wete;

And Nisus doughter song with fresh entente;  1110

Whan Troilus his Pandare after sente;

And on the walles of the toun they pleyde;

To loke if they can seen ought of Criseyde。



Til it was noon; they stoden for to see

Who that ther come; and every maner wight;  1115

That cam fro fer; they seyden it was she;

Til that they coude knowen him a…right。

Now was his herte dul; now was it light;

And thus by…iaped stonden for to stare

Aboute nought; this Troilus and Pandare。  1120



To Pandarus this Troilus tho seyde;

‘For ought I wot; bi…for noon; sikerly;

In…to this toun ne comth nought here Criseyde。

She hath y…now to done; hardily;

To winnen from hir fader; so trowe I;  1125

Hir olde fader wol yet make hir dyne

Er that she go; god yeve his herte pyne!'



Pandare answerde; ‘It may wel be; certeyn;

And for…thy lat us dyne; I thee biseche;

And after noon than maystw thou come ayeyn。'  1130

And hoom they go; with…oute more speche;

And comen ayein; but longe may they seche

Er that they finde that they after cape;

Fortune hem bothe thenketh for to Iape。



Quod Troilus; ‘I see wel now; that she  1135

Is taried with hir olde fader so;

That er she come; it wole neigh even be。

Com forth; I wol un…to the yate go。

Thise portours been unkonninge ever…mo;

And I wol doon hem holden up the yate  1140

As nought ne were; al…though she come late。'



The day goth faste; and after that comth eve;

And yet com nought to Troilus Criseyde。

He loketh forth by hegge; by tree; by greve;

And fer his heed over the wal he leyde。  1145

And at the laste he torned him; and seyde。

‘By god; I woot hir mening now; Pandare!

Al…most; y…wis; al newe was my care。



‘Now douteles; this lady can hir good;

I woot; she meneth ryden prively。  1150

I comende hir wysdom; by myn hood!

She wol not maken peple nycely

Gaure on hir; whan she comth; but softely

By nighte in…to the toun she thenketh ryde。

And; dere brother; thenk not longe to abyde。  1155



‘We han nought elles for to don; y…wis。

And Pandarus; now woltow trowen me?

Have here my trouthe; I see hir! Yond she is。

Heve up thyn eyen; man! Maystow not see?'

Pandare answerde; ‘Nay; so mote I thee!  1160

Al wrong; by god; what seystow; man; wher art?

That I see yond nis but a fare…cart。'



‘Allas; thou seist right sooth;' quod Troilus;

‘But; hardely; it is not al for nought

That in myn herte I now reioyse thus。  1165

It is ayein som good I have a thought。

Noot I not how; but sin that I was wrought;

Ne felte I swich a confort; dar I seye;

She comth to…night; my lyf; that dorste I leye!'



Pandare answerde; ‘It may be wel; y…nough';  1170

And held with him of al that ever he seyde;

But in his herte he thoughte; and softe lough;

And to him…self ful sobrely he seyde:

‘From hasel…wode; ther Ioly Robin pleyde;

Shal come al that thou abydest here;  1175

Ye; fare…wel al the snow of ferne yere!'



The wardein of the yates gan to calle

The folk which that with…oute the yates were;

And bad hem dryven in hir bestes alle;

Or al the night they moste bleven there。  1180

And fer with…in the night; with many a tere;

This Troilus gan hoomward for to ryde;

For wel he seeth it helpeth nought tabyde。



But natheles; he gladded him in this;

He thoughte he misacounted hadde his day;  1185

And seyde; ‘I understonde have al a…mis。

For thilke night I last Criseyde say;

She seyde; 〃I shal ben here; if that I may;

Er that the mone; O dere herte swete!

The Lyon passe; out of this Ariete。〃  1190



‘For which she may yet holde al hir biheste。'

And on the morwe un…to the yate he wente;

And up and down; by west and eek by este;

Up…on the walles made he many a wente。

But al for nought; his hope alwey him blente;  1195

For which at night; in sorwe and sykes sore;

He wente him hoom; with…outen any more。



This hope al clene out of his herte fledde;

He nath wher…on now lenger for to honge;

But for the peyne him thoughte his herte bledde;  1200

So were his throwes sharpe and wonder stronge。

For when he saugh that she abood so longe;

He niste what he iuggen of it mighte;

Sin she hath broken that she him bihighte。



The thridde; ferthe; fifte; sixte day  1205

After tho dayes ten; of which I tolde;

Bitwixen hope and drede his herte lay;

Yet som…what trustinge on hir hestes olde。

But whan he saugh she nolde hir terme holde;

He can now seen non other remedye;  1210

But for to shape him sone for to dye。



Ther…with the wikked spirit; god us blesse;

Which that men clepeth wode Ialousye;

Gan in him crepe; in al this hevinesse;

For which; by…cause he wolde sone dye;  1215

He ne eet ne dronk; for his malencolye;

And eek from every companye he fledde;

This was the lyf that al the tyme he ledde。



He so defet was; that no maner man

Unneth mighte him knowe ther he wente;  1220

So was he lene; and ther…to pale and wan;

And feble; that he walketh by potente;

And with his ire he thus himselven shente。

But who…so axed him wher…of him smerte;

He seyde; his harm was al aboute his herte。  1225



Pryam ful ofte; and eek his moder dere;

His bretheren and his sustren gonne him freyne

Why he so sorwful was in al his chere;

And what thing was the cause of al his peyne?

But al for nought; he nolde his cause pleyne;  1230

But seyde; he felte a grevous maladye

A…boute his herte; and fayn he wolde dye。



So on a day he leyde him doun to slepe;

And so bifel that in his sleep him thoughte;

That in a forest faste he welk to wepe  1235

For love of hir that him these peynes wroughte;

And up and doun as he the forest soughte;

He mette he saugh a boor with tuskes grete;

That sleep ayein the brighte sonnes hete。



And by this boor; faste in his armes folde;  1240

Lay kissing ay his lady bright Criseyde:

For sorwe of which; whan he it gan biholde;

And for despyt; out of his slepe he breyde;

And loude he cryde on Pandarus; and seyde;

‘O Pandarus; now knowe I crop and rote!  1245

I nam but deed; ther nis non other bote!



‘My lady bright Criseyde hath me bitrayed;

In whom I trusted most of any wight;

She elles…where hath now hir herte apayed;

The blisful goddes; through hir grete might;  1250

Han in my dreem y…shewed it ful right。

Thus in my dreem Criseyde I have biholde' 

And al this thing to Pandarus he tolde。



‘O my Criseyde; allas! What subtiltee。

What newe lust; what beautee; what science;  1255

What wratthe of iuste cause have ye to me?

What gilt of me; what fel ex
