With pacience I wol my wo comporte.

And with your lettre of hope I wol desporte.

Now wryteth, swete, and lat me thus not pleyne;

1400

With hope, or deeth, delivereth me fro peyne.

201. Y-wis, myn owene dere herte trewe,

I woot that, whan ye next up-on me see,

So lost have I myn hele and eek myn hewe,

Criseyde shal nought conne knowe me!
