Of thilke blinde maladie;
To which no cure of Surgerie
Can helpe。 Bot yit natheles
At thilke time he hield his pes;
That he no contienance made;
Bot openly with wordes glade;   4860
So as he couthe in his manere;
He spak and made frendly chiere;
Til it was time forto go。
And Collatin with him also
His leve tok; so that be nyhte
With al the haste that thei myhte
Thei riden to the Siege ayein。
Bot Arrons was so wo besein
With thoghtes whiche upon him runne;
That he al be the brode Sunne   4870
To bedde goth; noght forto reste;
Bot forto thenke upon the beste
And the faireste forth withal;
That evere he syh or evere schal;
So as him thoghte in his corage;
Where he pourtreieth hire ymage:
Ferst the fetures of hir face;
In which nature hadde alle grace
Of wommanly beaute beset;
So that it myhte noght be bet;  4880
And hou hir yelwe her was tresced
And hire atir so wel adresced;
And hou sche spak; and hou sche wroghte;
And hou sche wepte; al this he thoghte;
That he foryeten hath no del;
Bot al it liketh him so wel;
That in the word nor in the dede
Hire lacketh noght of wommanhiede。
And thus this tirannysshe knyht
Was soupled; bot noght half ariht;    4890
For he non other hiede tok;
Bot that he myhte be som crok;
Althogh it were ayein hire wille;
The lustes of his fleissh fulfille;
Which love was noght resonable;
For where honour is remuable;
It oghte wel to ben avised。
Bot he; which hath his lust assised
With melled love and tirannie;
Hath founde upon his tricherie  4900
A weie which he thenkth to holde;
And seith; 〃Fortune unto the bolde
Is favorable forto helpe。〃
And thus withinne himself to yelpe;
As he which was a wylde man;
Upon his treson he began:
And up he sterte; and forth he wente
On horsebak; bot his entente
Ther knew no wiht; and thus he nam
The nexte weie; til he cam   4910
Unto Collacea the gate
Of Rome; and it was somdiel late;
Riht evene upon the Sonne set;
As he which hadde schape his net
Hire innocence to betrappe。
And as it scholde tho mishappe;
Als priveliche as evere he myhte
He rod; and of his hors alyhte
Tofore Collatines In;
And al frendliche he goth him in;  4920
As he that was cousin of house。
And sche; which is the goode spouse;
Lucrece; whan that sche him sih;
With goodli chiere drowh him nyh;
As sche which al honour supposeth;
And him; so as sche dar; opposeth
Hou it stod of hire housebonde。
And he tho dede hire understonde
With tales feigned in his wise;
Riht as he wolde himself devise;   4930
Wherof he myhte hire herte glade;
That sche the betre chiere made;
Whan sche the glade wordes herde;
Hou that hire housebonde ferde。
And thus the trouthe was deceived
With slih tresoun; which was received
To hire which mente alle goode;
For as the festes thanne stode;
His Souper was ryht wel arraied。
Bot yit he hath no word assaied    4940
To speke of love in no degre;
Bot with covert subtilite
His frendly speches he affaiteth;
And as the Tigre his time awaiteth
In hope forto cacche his preie。
Whan that the bordes were aweie
And thei have souped in the halle;
He seith that slep is on him falle;
And preith he moste go to bedde;
And sche with alle haste spedde;   4950
So as hire thoghte it was to done;
That every thing was redi sone。
Sche broghte him to his chambre tho
And tok hire leve; and forth is go
Into hire oghne chambre by;
As sche that wende certeinly
Have had a frend; and hadde a fo;
Wherof fell after mochel wo。
This tirant; thogh he lyhe softe;
Out of his bed aros fulofte;    4960
And goth aboute; and leide his Ere
To herkne; til that alle were
To bedde gon and slepten faste。
And thanne upon himself he caste
A mantell; and his swerd al naked
He tok in honde; and sche unwaked
Abedde lay; but what sche mette;
God wot; for he the Dore unschette
So prively that non it herde;
The softe pas and forth he ferde   4970
Unto the bed wher that sche slepte;
Al sodeinliche and in he crepte;
And hire in bothe his Armes tok。
With that this worthi wif awok;
Which thurgh tendresce of wommanhiede
Hire vois hath lost for pure drede;
That o word speke sche ne dar:
And ek he bad hir to be war;
For if sche made noise or cry;
He seide; his swerd lay faste by   4980
To slen hire and hire folk aboute。
And thus he broghte hire herte in doute;
That lich a Lomb whanne it is sesed
In wolves mouth; so was desesed
Lucrece; which he naked fond:
Wherof sche swounede in his hond;
And; as who seith; lay ded oppressed。
And he; which al him hadde adresced
To lust; tok thanne what him liste;
And goth his wey; that non it wiste;  4990
Into his oghne chambre ayein;
And clepede up his chamberlein;
And made him redi forto ryde。
And thus this lecherouse pride
To horse lepte and forth he rod;
And sche; which in hire bed abod;
Whan that sche wiste he was agon;
Sche clepede after liht anon
And up aros long er the day;
And caste awey hire freissh aray;  5000
As sche which hath the world forsake;
And tok upon the clothes blake:
And evere upon continuinge;
Riht as men sen a welle springe;
With yhen fulle of wofull teres;
Hire her hangende aboute hire Eres;
Sche wepte; and noman wiste why。
Bot yit among full pitously
Sche preide that thei nolden drecche
Hire housebonde forto fecche    5010
Forth with hire fader ek also。
Thus be thei comen bothe tuo;
And Brutus cam with Collatin;
Which to Lucrece was cousin;
And in thei wenten alle thre
To chambre; wher thei myhten se
The wofulleste upon this Molde;
Which wepte as sche to water scholde。
The chambre Dore anon was stoke;
Er thei have oght unto hire spoke;    5020
Thei sihe hire clothes al desguised;
And hou sche hath hirself despised;
Hire her hangende unkemd aboute;
Bot natheles sche gan to loute
And knele unto hire housebonde;
And he; which fain wolde understonde
The cause why sche ferde so;
With softe wordes axeth tho;
〃What mai you be; mi goode swete?〃
And sche; which thoghte hirself unmete   5030
And the lest worth of wommen alle;
Hire wofull chiere let doun falle
For schame and couthe unnethes loke。
And thei therof good hiede toke;
And preiden hire in alle weie
That sche ne spare forto seie
Unto hir frendes what hire eileth;
Why sche so sore hirself beweileth;
And what the sothe wolde mene。
And sche; which hath hire sorwes grene;  5040
Hire wo to telle thanne assaieth;
Bot tendre schame hire word delaieth;
That sondri times as sche minte
To speke; upon the point sche stinte。
And thei hire bidden evere in on
To telle forth; and therupon;
Whan that sche sih sche moste nede;
Hire tale betwen schame and drede
Sche tolde; noght withoute peine。
And he; which wolde hire wo restreigne;  5050
Hire housebonde; a sory man;
Conforteth hire al that he can;
And swor; and ek hire fader bothe;
That thei with hire be noght wrothe
Of that is don ayein hire wille;
And preiden hire to be stille;
For thei to hire have al foryive。
Bot sche; which thoghte noght to live;
Of hem wol no foryivenesse;
And seide; of thilke wickednesse   5060
Which was unto hire bodi wroght;
Al were it so sche myhte it noght;
Nevere afterward the world ne schal
Reproeven hire; and forth withal;
Er eny man therof be war;
A naked swerd; the whi
