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。
