Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Seized with rapture at that, Troilus put everything in God’s hands, as one who meant nothing but good, and, suddenly resolved, he took her tightly to him in his arms. And Pandarus, full of goodwill, lay down to sleep, and said: ‘If you’re wise, don’t swoon now, in case more folk get up!’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): トロイルスはこの幸せに驚き、善のみを意図する人のように、神の御手にゆだねた。そして突然意を決して、彼女の両腕をしっかりと抱いた。パンダルスは十分に気を利かせて眠るために床に就こうとして言った。「もし分別がおありなら、これから気絶しないでください、人が起きると困りますから！」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 特罗勒斯想不到能得这幸福，把一切交付在上帝手中，像一个立志向善的人一样；心里一动，一把将她紧抱进怀里。彭大瑞为了要成人之美，就去睡觉，说道，“你假使漂亮一点，不可再晕倒了，免得惊醒了旁人。”

Comments from the Editor
Although it is unclear whether Pandarus slept in the “outer room” or stayed in the same one as the lovers, his speech to Criseyde the next day (3.1557–63) indicates that he probably stayed in the same room. See also my comment of ‘dere’ (adj., Tr3.494).
