Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): So get up at once, as if nothing were the matter, and wash your face, and go to the king, before he wonders where you’ve gone. You must deceive him and other people by acting wisely, or he may perhaps send for you before you’re aware. In brief, dear, dear brother, cheer up, and let me get to work on this matter.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): だから何事もなかったかのように、すぐに起き上がり、顔を洗って、王様のところにお越しになってください、貴方がどこへ行っていたのか王様が訝らないうちに。賢く振舞って王様や他の人たちを煙に巻かねばなりません。さもないと、場合によっては王様が迎えによこすかもしれません。貴方がお気づきになる前にね。つまりですね、親愛なる若君、安心してください、こういう問題は私にお任せください。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 起来吧，只当没有什么事一样，洗个脸，去见国王，莫让他稀奇你到哪儿去了。你得放乖巧些，才哄得过他和其余的人，否则他也许会突然派人来喊你去的；总之，好兄弟，这件事在我身上，你放心下来

Comments from the Editor

Pandarus relieves Troilus’ sorrow and promises him a night with Criseyde. This stanza concurs with Fil.4.77. In Fil, Pandaro asks Troiolo to cheer up in case “other people” notice that he is grieving for Criseida. However, in the preceding quotation, Pandarus emphasizes that Troilus should visit Priam so that he will not notice.
