Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translation (Windeatt: 1998) (Windeatt: 1998): To speak in an ordinary sense about “substance”—about money—we can both carry with us enough to live in honour and pleasure until the day we die; so we can avoid all this anxiety. (For every other way you can think of, indeed, at heart I can’t agree with.)
• Japanese translation (Sasamoto: 2012) (Sasamoto: 2012): 月並みなことだが、資力について話すとね、つまりお金のことだ、おれたち二人でやっていけるだけあるよ。おれたちが死ぬその時まで名誉を保ち楽しんで生きていけるだけ十分あるよ。だからこの心配をすべて避けられるんだ。君が思いつく他のあらゆる方法に、いや、本当に、賛成できないね。
• Chinese translation (Fang: 1956) (Fang: 1956): 至于日常应用的银钱财物，我们可以带足，一生不愁没有高尚安乐的生活；这才可以避免这一切忧虑。管你说任何其他妙方，总使我心感不安。

Comments from the Editor

Although Troilus describes the details of his plan, Criseyde insists on going to the Greek camp. However, she later regrets not going with him (see 5.736–7).
