Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): But Troilus, since I can do no better, and since you and I part company like this, I still pray for God’s blessing on you, as truly the noblest I ever saw in serving loyally, and can always best protect his lady’s honour.’—And with that word she at once burst out crying. —
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): しかし、トロイルス様、わたしはこれより良くできません。こうして貴方とわたしは離ればなれになっていますから。でも貴女に良き日が授けられんことを神様にお祈りします。本当に、一番優しいお方として、お祈りします。今までお会いしたうちで最高のお方で、忠実にお仕えなさり、いつも一番良く愛人の体面をお守りできるお方でした。」そう言うやいなやクリセイデはたちまちわっと泣き出した。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 特罗勒斯呀，事已至此，你我再不能重圆，我祈求上帝祝福你，你的确是我所见过的最和蔼忠诚，最能尊敬爱人的一个男子：”—说着，她破声而哭。
