And Adriagne hir sorwe ladde;
For Theses hir Soster tok
And hire unkindely forsok。
I sih ther ek among the press
Compleignende upon Hercules   2560
His ferste love Deyanire;
Which sette him afterward afyre:
Medea was there ek and pleigneth
Upon Jason; for that he feigneth;
Withoute cause and tok a newe;
Sche seide; 〃Fy on alle untrewe!〃
I sih there ek Deijdamie;
Which hadde lost the compaignie
Of Achilles; whan Diomede
To Troie him fette upon the nede。  2570
Among these othre upon the grene
I syh also the wofull queene
Cleopatras; which in a Cave
With Serpentz hath hirself begrave
Alquik; and so sche was totore;
For sorwe of that sche hadde lore
Antonye; which hir love hath be:
And forth with hire I sih Tisbee;
Which on the scharpe swerdes point
For love deide in sory point;   2580
And as myn Ere it myhte knowe;
Sche seide; 〃Wo worthe alle slowe!〃
The pleignte of Progne and Philomene
Ther herde I what it wolde mene;
How Teres of his untrouthe
Undede hem bothe; and that was routhe;
And next to hem I sih Canace;
Which for Machaire hir fader grace
Hath lost; and deide in wofull plit。
And as I sih in my spirit;   2590
Me thoghte amonges othre thus
The doghter of king Priamus;
Polixena; whom Pirrus slowh;
Was there and made sorwe ynowh;
As sche which deide gulteles
For love; and yit was loveles。
And forto take the desport;
I sih there some of other port;
And that was Circes and Calipse;
That cowthen do the Mone eclipse;  2600
Of men and change the liknesses;
Of Artmagique Sorceresses;
Thei hielde in honde manyon;
To love wher thei wolde or non。
Bot above alle that ther were
Of wommen I sih foure there;
Whos name I herde most comended:
Be hem the Court stod al amended;
For wher thei comen in presence;
Men deden hem the reverence;    2610
As thogh they hadden be goddesses;
Of al this world or Emperesses。
And as me thoghte; an Ere I leide;
And herde hou that these othre seide;
〃Lo; these ben the foure wyves;
Whos feith was proeved in her lyves:
For in essample of alle goode
With Mariage so thei stode;
That fame; which no gret thing hydeth;
Yit in Cronique of hem abydeth。〃   2620
Penolope that on was hote;
Whom many a knyht hath loved hote;
Whil that hire lord Ulixes lay
Full many a yer and many a day
Upon the grete Siege of Troie:
Bot sche; which hath no worldes joie
Bot only of hire housebonde;
Whil that hir lord was out of londe;
So wel hath kept hir wommanhiede;
That al the world therof tok hiede;   2630
And nameliche of hem in Grece。
That other womman was Lucrece;
Wif to the Romain Collatin;
And sche constreigned of Tarquin
To thing which was ayein hir wille;
Sche wolde noght hirselven stille;
Bot deide only for drede of schame
In keping of hire goode name;
As sche which was on of the beste。
The thridde wif was hote Alceste;  2640
Which whanne Ametus scholde dye
Upon his grete maladye;
Sche preide unto the goddes so;
That sche receyveth al the wo
And deide hirself to yive him lif:
Lo; if this were a noble wif。
The ferthe wif which I ther sih;
I herde of hem that were nyh
Hou sche was cleped Alcione;
Which to Seyix hir lord al one  2650
And to nomo hire body kepte;
And whan sche sih him dreynt; sche lepte
Into the wawes where he swam;
And there a Sefoul sche becam;
And with hire wenges him bespradde
For love which to him sche hadde。
Lo; these foure were tho
Whiche I sih; as me thoghte tho;
Among the grete compaignie
Which Love hadde forto guye:    2660
Bot Youthe; which in special
Of Loves Court was Mareschal;
So besy was upon his lay;
That he non hiede where I lay
Hath take。 And thanne; as I behield;
Me thoghte I sih upon the field;
Where Elde cam a softe pas
Toward Venus; ther as sche was。
With him gret compaignie he ladde;
Bot noght so manye as Youthe hadde:   2670
The moste part were of gret Age;
And that was sene in the visage;
And noght forthi; so as thei myhte;
Thei made hem yongly to the sihte:
Bot yit herde I no pipe there
To make noise in mannes Ere;
Bot the Musette I myhte knowe;
For olde men which souneth lowe;
With Harpe and Lute and with Citole。
The hovedance and the Carole;   2680
In such a wise as love hath bede;
A softe pas thei dance and trede;
And with the wommen otherwhile
With sobre chier among thei smyle;
For laghtre was ther non on hyh。
And natheles full wel I syh
That thei the more queinte it made
For love; in whom thei weren glade。
And there me thoghte I myhte se
The king David with Bersabee;   2690
And Salomon was noght withoute;
Passende an hundred on a route
Of wyves and of Concubines;
Juesses bothe and Sarazines;
To him I sih alle entendant:
I not if he was sufficant;
Bot natheles for al his wit
He was attached with that writ
Which love with his hond enseleth;
Fro whom non erthly man appeleth。  2700
And overthis; as for a wonder;
With his leon which he put under;
With Dalida Sampson I knew;
Whos love his strengthe al overthrew。
I syh there Aristotle also;
Whom that the queene of Grece so
Hath bridled; that in thilke time
Sche made him such a Silogime;
That he foryat al his logique;
Ther was non art of his Practique;    2710
Thurgh which it mihte ben excluded
That he ne was fully concluded
To love; and dede his obeissance。
And ek Virgile of aqueintance
I sih; wher he the Maiden preide;
Which was the doghter; as men seide;
Of themperour whilom of Rome;
Sortes and Plato with him come;
So dede Ovide the Poete。
I thoghte thanne how love is swete;   2720
Which hath so wise men reclamed;
And was miself the lasse aschamed;
Or forto lese or forto winne
In the meschief that I was inne:
And thus I lay in hope of grace。
And whan thei comen to the place
Wher Venus stod and I was falle;
These olde men with o vois alle
To Venus preiden for my sake。
And sche; that myhte noght forsake    2730
So gret a clamour as was there;
Let Pite come into hire Ere;
And forth withal unto Cupide
Sche preith that he upon his side
Me wolde thurgh his grace sende
Som confort; that I myhte amende;
Upon the cas which is befalle。
And thus for me thei preiden alle
Of hem that weren olde aboute;
And ek some of the yonge route;    2740
Of gentilesse and pure trouthe
I herde hem telle it was gret routhe;
That I withouten help so ferde。
And thus me thoghte I lay and herde。
Cupido; which may hurte and hele
In loves cause; as for myn hele
Upon the point which him was preid
Cam with Venus; wher I was leid
Swounende upon the grene gras。
And; as me thoghte ; anon ther was    2750
On every side so gret presse;
That every lif began to presse;
I wot noght wel hou many score;
Suche as I spak of now tofore;
Lovers; that comen to beholde;
Bot most of hem that weren olde:
Thei stoden there at thilke tyde;
To se what ende schal betyde
Upon the cure of my sotie。
Tho myhte I hiere gret partie   2760
Spekende; and ech his oghne avis
Hath told; on that; an other this:
Bot among alle this I herde;
Thei weren wo that I so ferde;
And seiden that for no riote
An old man scholde noght assote;
For as thei tolden redely;
Ther is in him no cause why;
Bot if he wolde himself benyce;
So were he wel the more nyce。   2770
And thus desputen some of tho;
And some se
