Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translation (Windeatt: 1998) (Windeatt: 1998): This sorrow may undermine me for so long that death may well remove the life from my breast, but Criseyde’s arrow will never leave my soul, and when I am dead I will go and dwell in misery with Proserpina, and there I will lament my woe eternally, and how we two are separated.
Japanese translation (Sasamoto: 2012) (Sasamoto: 2012): この悲しみはおれを侵食したあげくの果てに、死がおれの胸から生命を奪っていくかもしれないのだ。しかしクリセイデの射た矢はおれの魂から決して抜けないだろう。そしておれは死ぬと下界に下ってプロセルピナと一緒に苦しみのうちに暮らすだろう。そこにおいておれは永遠におれの悲しみについて嘆き、おれたち二人が別れ別れになってしまったことを嘆くだろう。
Chinese translation (Fang: 1956) (Fang: 1956): 有这愁思潜伏在我胸中，死亡的魔就在讨取我的生命；克丽西德的一支箭将永刺着我的心魂；我死后要入地狱中和勃洛梭娉同受苦难，永诉着这段恨事，追念着我俩的离情。

Comments from the Editor

Proserpina is Pluto’s wife and the queen of the underworld. However, in Fil.4.54, Boccaccio does not mention Proserpina.
