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 experience

Hath fro me raft; allas! Thyn advertence?

O trust; O feyth; O depe aseuraunce;

Who hath me reft Criseyde; al my plesaunce?  1260



‘Allas! Why leet I you from hennes go;

For which wel neigh out of my wit I breyde?

Who shal now trowe on any othes mo?

God wot I wende; O lady bright; Criseyde;

That every word was gospel that ye seyde!  1265

But who may bet bigylen; yf him liste;

Than he on whom men weneth best to triste?



‘What shal I doon; my Pandarus; allas!

I fele now so sharpe a newe peyne;

Sin that ther is no remedie in this cas;  1270

That bet were it I with myn hondes tweyne

My…selven slow; than alwey thus to pleyne。

For through my deeth my wo sholde han an ende;

Ther every day with lyf my…self I shende。'



Pandare answerde and seyde; ‘Allas the whyle  1275

That I was born; have I not seyd er this;

That dremes many a maner man bigyle?

And why? For folk expounden hem a…mis。

How darstow seyn that fals thy lady is;

For any dreem; right for thyn owene drede?  1280

Lat be this thought; thou canst no dremes rede。



‘Paraunter; ther thou dremest of this boor;

It may so be that it may signifye

Hir fader; which that old is and eek hoor;

Ayein the sonne lyth; on poynt to dye;  1285

And she for sorwe ginneth wepe and crye;

And kisseth him; ther he lyth on the grounde;

Thus shuldestow thy dreem a…right expounde。'



‘How mighte I thanne do?' quod Troilus;

‘To knowe of this; ye; were it never so lyte?'  1290

‘Now seystow wysly;' quod this Pandarus;

‘My reed is this; sin thou canst wel endyte;

That hastely a lettre thou hir wryte;

Thorugh which thou shalt wel bringen it aboute;

To knowe a sooth of that thou art in doute。  1295



‘And see now why; for this I dar wel seyn;

That if so is that she untrewe be;

I can not trowe that she wol wryte ayeyn。

And if she wryte; thou shalt ful sone see;

As whether she hath any libertee  1300

To come ayein; or ellis in som clause;

If she be let; she wol assigne a cause。



‘Thou hast not writen hir sin that she wente;

Nor she to thee; and this I dorste leye;

Ther may swich cause been in hir entente;  1305

That hardely thou wolt thy…selven seye;

That hir a…bood the beste is for yow tweye。

Now wryte hir thanne; and thou shalt fele sone

A sothe of al; ther is no more to done。'



Acorded been to this conclusioun;  1310

And that anoon; these ilke lordes two;

And hastely sit Troilus adoun;

And rolleth in his herte to and fro;

How he may best discryven hir his wo。

And to Criseyde; his owene lady dere;  1315

He wroot right thus; and seyde as ye may here。



‘Right fresshe flour; whos I have been and shal;

With…outen part of elles…where servyse;

With herte; body; lyf; lust; thought; and al;

I; woful wight; in every humble wyse  1320

That tonge telle or herte may devyse;

As ofte as matere occupyeth place;

Me recomaunde un…to your noble grace。



‘Lyketh it yow to witen; swete herte;

As ye wel knowe how longe tyme agoon  1325

That ye me lefte in aspre peynes smerte;

Whan that ye wente; of which yet bote noon

Have I non had; but ever wers bigoon

Fro day to day am I; and so mot dwelle;

While it yow list; of wele and wo my welle。  1330



‘For which to yow; with dredful herte trewe;

I wryte; as he that sorwe dryfth to wryte;

My wo; that every houre encreseth newe;

Compleyninge as I dar or can endyte。

And that defaced is; that may ye wyte  1335

The teres; which that fro myn eyen reyne;

That wolde speke; if that they coude; and pleyne。



‘Yow first biseche I; that your eyen clere

To look on this defouled ye not holde;

And over al this; that ye; my lady dere;  1340

Wol vouche…sauf this lettre to biholde。

And by the cause eek of my cares colde;

That sleeth my wit; if ought amis me asterte;

For…yeve it me; myn owene swete herte。



‘If any servant dorste or oughte of right  1345

Up…on his lady pitously compleyne;

Than wene I; that ich oughte be that
