For any thing, men shal the sothe see;

And swich a cas bitidde, and that as faste,

That Troilus wel understood that she

Nas not so kinde as that hir oughte be.

And fynally, he woot now, out of doute,

1645

That al is lost that he hath been aboute.

236. Stood on a day in his malencolye

This Troilus, and in suspecioun

Of hir for whom he wende for to dye.
