That I ne mot alwey compasse��
Me roghte noght be what queintise��
So that I mihte in eny wise
Fro suche that mi ladi serve
Hire herte make forto swerve
Withouten eny part of love。
For be the goddes alle above
I wolde it mihte so befalle��
That I al one scholde hem alle 2410
Supplante�察�and welde hire at mi wille。
And that thing mai I noght fulfille��
Bot if I scholde strengthe make��
And that I dar noght undertake��
Thogh I were as was Alisaundre��
For therof mihte arise sklaundre��
And certes that schal I do nevere��
For in good feith yit hadde I levere
In my simplesce forto die��
Than worche such Supplantarie。 2420
Of otherwise I wol noght seie
That if I founde a seker weie��
I wolde as for conclusioun
Worche after Supplantacioun��
So hihe a love forto winne。
Now�察�fader�察�if that this be Sinne��
I am al redy to redresce
The gilt of which I me confesse。
Mi goode Sone�察�as of Supplant
Thee thar noght drede tant ne quant�察 �2430
As for nothing that I have herd��
Bot only that thou hast misferd
Thenkende�察�and that me liketh noght��
For godd beholt a mannes thoght。
And if thou understode in soth
In loves cause what it doth��
A man to ben a Supplantour��
Thou woldest for thin oghne honour
Be double weie take kepe��
Ferst for thin oghne astat to kepe�察 �2440
To be thiself so wel bethoght
That thou supplanted were noght��
And ek for worschipe of thi name
Towardes othre do the same��
And soffren every man have his。
Bot natheles it was and is��
That in a wayt at alle assaies
Supplant of love in oure daies
The lief fulofte for the levere
Forsakth�察�and so it hath don evere。 2450
Ensample I finde therupon��
At Troie how that Agamenon
Supplantede the worthi knyht
Achilles of that swete wiht��
Which named was Brexei5da��
And also of Crisei5da��
Whom Troilus to love ches��
Supplanted hath Diomedes。
Of Geta and Amphitrion��
That whilom weren bothe as on 2460
Of frendschipe and of compaignie��
I rede how that Supplantarie
In love�察�as it betidde tho��
Beguiled hath on of hem tuo。
For this Geta that I of meene��
To whom the lusti faire Almeene
Assured was be weie of love��
Whan he best wende have ben above
And sikerest of that he hadde��
Cupido so the cause ladde�察 �2470
That whil he was out of the weie��
Amphitrion hire love aweie
Hath take�察�and in this forme he wroghte。
Be nyhte unto the chambre he soghte��
Wher that sche lay�察�and with a wyle
He contrefeteth for the whyle
The vois of Gete in such a wise��
That made hire of hire bedd arise��
Wenende that it were he��
And let him in�察�and whan thei be 2480
Togedre abedde in armes faste��
This Geta cam thanne ate laste
Unto the Dore and seide�察 �Undo。;
And sche ansuerde and bad him go��
And seide how that abedde al warm
Hir lief lay naked in hir arm��
Sche wende that it were soth。
Lo�察�what Supplant of love doth��
This Geta forth bejaped wente��
And yit ne wiste he what it mente�察 �2490
Amphitrion him hath supplanted
With sleyhte of love and hire enchaunted��
And thus put every man out other��
The Schip of love hath lost his Rother��
So that he can no reson stiere。
And forto speke of this matiere
Touchende love and his Supplant��
A tale which is acordant
Unto thin Ere I thenke enforme。
Now herkne�察�for this is the forme。 2500
Of thilke Cite chief of alle
Which men the noble Rome calle��
Er it was set to Cristes feith��
Ther was�察�as the Cronique seith��
An Emperour�察�the which it ladde
In pes�察�that he no werres hadde��
Ther was nothing desobeissant
Which was to Rome appourtenant��
Bot al was torned into reste。
To some it thoghte for the beste�察 �2510
To some it thoghte nothing so��
And that was only unto tho
Whos herte stod upon knyhthode��
Bot most of alle of his manhode
The worthi Sone of themperour��
Which wolde ben a werreiour��
As he that was chivalerous
Of worldes fame and desirous��
Began his fadre to beseche
That he the werres mihte seche�察 �2520
In strange Marches forto ride。
His fader seide he scholde abide��
And wolde granten him no leve��
Bot he�察�which wolde noght beleve��
A kniht of his to whom he triste��
So that his fader nothing wiste��
He tok and tolde him his corage��
That he pourposeth a viage。
If that fortune with him stonde��
He seide how that he wolde fonde 2530
The grete See to passe unknowe��
And there abyde for a throwe
Upon the werres to travaile。
And to this point withoute faile
This kniht�察�whan he hath herd his lord��
Is swore�察�and stant of his acord��
As thei that bothe yonge were��
So that in prive conseil there
Thei ben assented forto wende。
And therupon to make an ende�察 �2540
Tresor ynowh with hem thei token��
And whan the time is best thei loken��
That sodeinliche in a Galeie
Fro Romelond thei wente here weie
And londe upon that other side。
The world fell so that ilke tide��
Which evere hise happes hath diverse��
The grete Soldan thanne of Perse
Ayein the Caliphe of Egipte
A werre�察�which that him beclipte�察 �2550
Hath in a Marche costeiant。
And he�察�which was a poursuiant
Worschipe of armes to atteigne��
This Romein�察�let anon ordeigne��
That he was redi everydel��
And whan he was arraied wel
Of every thing which him belongeth��
Straght unto Kaire his weie he fongeth��
Wher he the Soldan thanne fond��
And axeth that withinne his lond 2560
He mihte him for the werre serve��
As he which wolde his thonk deserve。
The Soldan was riht glad with al��
And wel the more in special
Whan that he wiste he was Romein��
Bot what was elles in certein��
That mihte he wite be no weie。
And thus the kniht of whom I seie
Toward the Soldan is beleft��
And in the Marches now and eft�察 �2570
Wher that the dedli werres were��
He wroghte such knihthode there��
That every man spak of him good。
And thilke time so it stod��
This mihti Soldan be his wif
A Dowhter hath�察�that in this lif
Men seiden ther was non so fair。
Sche scholde ben hir fader hair��
And was of yeres ripe ynowh��
Hire beaute many an herte drowh 2580
To bowe unto that ilke lawe
Fro which no lif mai be withdrawe��
And that is love�察�whos nature
Set lif and deth in aventure
Of hem that knyhthode undertake。
This lusti peine hath overtake
The herte of this Romein so sore��
That to knihthode more and more
Prouesce avanceth his corage。
Lich to the Leoun in his rage�察 �2590
Fro whom that alle bestes fle��
Such was the knyht in his degre��
Wher he was armed in the feld��
Ther dorste non abide his scheld��
Gret pris upon the werre he hadde。
Bot sche which al the chance ladde��
Fortune�察�schop the Marches so��
That be thassent of bothe tuo��
The Soldan and the Caliphe eke��
Bataille upon a dai thei seke�察 �2600
Which was in such a wise set
That lengere scholde it noght be let。
Thei made hem stronge on every side��
And whan it drowh toward the tide
That the bataille scholde be��
The Soldan in gret privete
A goldring of his dowhter tok��
And made hire swere upon a bok
And ek upon the goddes alle��
That if fortune so befalle 2610
In the bataille that he deie��
That sche schal thilke man obeie
And take him to hire housebonde��
Which thilke same Ring to honde
Hire scholde bringe after his deth。
This hath sche swore�察�and forth he geth
With al the pouer of his lond
Unto the Marche�察�where he fond
His enemy full embatailled。
The Soldan hath the feld assailed�此 �2620
Thei that ben hardy sone assemblen��
Wherof the dredfull hertes tremblen��
That on sleth�察�and that other sterveth��
Bot above all his pris deserveth
This knihtly Romein�察�where he rod��
His dedly swerd noman abod��
Ayein the which was no defence��
Egipte fledde in his presence��
And thei of Perse upon the chace
Poursuien�此�bot I not what grace 2630
Befell�察�an Arwe out of a bowe
Al sodeinly that ilke throwe
The Soldan smot�察�and ther he lay��
The chace is left for thilke day��
And he was bore into a tente。
The Soldan sih how that it wente��
And that he scholde algate die��
And to this knyht of Romanie��
As unto him whom he most triste��
His Dowhter Ring�察�that non it wiste�察 �2640
He tok�察�and tolde him al the cas��
Upon hire oth what tokne it was
Of that sche scholde ben his wif。
Whan this was seid�察�the hertes lif
Of this Soldan departeth sone��
And therupon�察�as was to done��
The dede body wel and faire
Thei carie til thei come at Kaire��
Wher he was worthily begrave。
The lordes�察�whiche as wolden save 2650
The Regne which was desolat��
To bringe it into good astat
A parlement thei sette anon。
Now herkne what fell therupon��
This yonge lord�察�this worthi kniht
Of Rome�察�upon the same niht
That thei amorwe trete scholde��
Unto his Bacheler he tolde
His conseil�察�and the Ring with al
He scheweth�察�thurgh which that he schal�察 �2660
He seith�察�the kinges Dowhter wedde��
For so the Ring was leid to wedde��
He tolde�察�into hir fader hond��
That with what man that sche it fond
Sche scholde him take to hire lord。
And this�察�he seith�察�stant of record��
Bot noman wot who hath this Ring。
This Bacheler upon this thing
His Ere and his entente leide��
And thoghte more thanne he seide�察 �2670
And feigneth with a fals visage
That he was glad�察�bot his corage
Was al set in an other wise。
These olde Philosophres wise
Thei writen upon thilke while��
That he mai best a man beguile
In whom the man hath most credence��
And this befell in evidence
Toward this yonge lord of Rome。
His Bacheler�察�which hadde tome�察 �2680
Whan that his lord be nihte slepte��
This Ring�察�the which his maister kepte��
Out of his Pours awey he dede��
And putte an other in the stede。
Amorwe�察�whan the Court is set��
The yonge ladi was forth fet��
To whom the lordes don homage��
And after that of Mariage
Thei trete and axen of hir wille。
Bot sche�察�which thoghte to fulfille 2690
Hire fader heste in this matiere��
Seide openly�察�that men mai hiere��
The charge which hire fader bad。
Tho was this Lord of Rome glad
And drowh toward his Pours anon��
Bot al for noght�察�it was agon��
His Bacheler it hath forthdrawe��
And axeth ther upon the lawe
That sche him holde covenant。
The tokne was so sufficant 2700
That it ne mihte be forsake��
And natheles his lord hath take
Querelle ayein his oghne man��
Bot for nothing that evere he can
He mihte as thanne noght ben herd��
So that his cleym is unansuerd��
And he hath of his pourpos failed。
This Bacheler was tho consailed
And wedded�察�and of thilke Empire
He was coroned Lord and Sire�察 �2710
And al the lond him hath received��
Wherof his lord�察�which was deceived��
A seknesse er the thridde morwe
Conceived hath of dedly sorwe��
And as he lay upon his deth��
Therwhile him lasteth speche and breth��
He sende for the worthieste
Of al the lond and ek the beste��
And tolde hem al the sothe tho��
That he was Sone and Heir also 2720
Of themperour of grete Rome��
And how that thei togedre come��
This kniht and he�察�riht as it was��
He tolde hem al the pleine cas��
And for that he his conseil tolde��
That other hath al that he wolde��
And he hath failed of his mede��
As for the good he takth non hiede��
He seith�察�bot only of the love��
Of which he wende have ben above。 2730
And therupon be lettre write
He doth his fader forto wite
Of al this matiere as it stod��
And thanne with an hertly mod
Unto the lordes he besoghte
To telle his ladi how he boghte
Hire love�察�of which an other gladeth��
And with that word his hewe fadet
