Piramus et Tisbé 385 Jeu et delit pour souspirer. Amis, ne puis or plus ester: Lermes m’aonbrent l’esgarder, Souspirs me tolent le parler. Pensez demain dou retorner, 390 Plus a loisir porrons parler Et li uns l’autre conforter.’ Ne pot lors plus parler a lui, Ensi departent ambedui. Li jours s’en vait, la nuis prist fin. 395 Ansi repairent au matin Et revienent a lor pertus. Primes parole Piramus: ‘Amie, moult sui angoissous, Quar a mort sui navrez pour vous 400 Que j’ain. Des or vieng je bien a reclain, Com li ostors quant il a fain; Plus sui pris que poissons a l’ain. Sorpris 405 Sui je pour vous, ce m’est avis: Ne sai que soit joie ne ris; S’auques me tient, n’en irai vis. Muir moi! Li diex d’amours ne garde foi, 410 Quar sormontez nous a sa loi: f. 93v col. b Lacié somes en une roi Andui. Ne sai cui prier, vous ou lui. Bele, a vous fais je mon refui. 415 Se por vous muir, tant mar i fui! Amie, Moult feriez grant felonie Se pour vous perdoie la vie, Quant par vous puis avoir aÿe. 420 Dolent! Moult puis avoir duel et torment, Qui tant ai amé longuement Et ne puis faire mon talent. Chetis! 425 Hé, bele, com sui entrepris, Com sui pour vostre amour conquis! Dolour Ne me default ne nuit ne jour: Or pens, souspir et emprez plour; 430 Toute ai perdue la coulour; Dormir, Boivre et mengier m’estuet gerpir; 50
Text and Translation 385 390 395 400 405 410 415 420 425 430 Joy and pleasure for sighing. My love, I cannot stay here any more: Tears cloud my eyes, Sighs prevent me from speaking. Be sure to come back tomorrow; We shall be able to talk at greater length And comfort one another.’ She could not say any more to him, And so the two of them parted. The day passes, the night comes to an end. In the morning both of them return And come back to their crevice. Piramus is the first to speak: ‘My love, I am in agony, For I am mortally wounded because of you, Whom I love. Now I come back to the call, Like a falcon when it is hungry; I am more securely hooked than a fish on a line, I am trapped Because of you, it seems to me: I do not know what joy and laughter are. If I am held much longer, I shall not escape alive. I am dying! The God of Love does not keep faith with us, For his justice has passed us by: We are entangled in one net Together. I do not know whom to implore, you or him. Fair one, I take refuge with you. If I die because of you, so much the worse for me! My love, You would be guilty of great treachery If I were to lose my life because of you, When you can save me. Unhappy me! Well may I suffer grief and torment, I who have loved so long And cannot do what I desire. Poor wretch! Ah, fair one, how I am afflicted, How I am overcome by love of you! Sorrow Never leaves me, night or day: One moment I am lost in thought, I sigh and then I weep; The colour has all vanished from my cheeks. Sleeping, Eating and drinking are things I must leave behind. 51
