Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): imploring him, for the love of God and in honour of faithfulness and nobility that, as I mean well, he would also mean well towards me, and always safeguard my honour with judgement and diligence; and indeed, if I can make him happy from now on, I’ll not hold back. Now please get completely well again! Don’t go on with your lamenting any longer!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 神様の愛にかけて、若様におねがいしたいことがございます。若様は、真実と高貴な振舞いゆえに、わたしが、好意を持ちますのと同じ程度に、わたしに好意をお持ちくださり、わたしの体面をいつも思慮深く精出してお守りください。わたしも若様をお喜ばせできますれば、今後、絶対に、わたしは空々しい態度をとりません。さあ元気を出してください。もうお嘆きになりませんように。」
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 但我要恳求他，看神的面上，以诚敬为贵，我善意待他，他也照样待我，并以明达谨慎的态度永远维护我的节操；自从以后，只要能使他快乐，我相信，我决不会忧疑；现在愿你康复，不要再悲诉了。

Comments from the Editor

This is the scene where Criseyde totally accepts Troilus. See also my comment of ‘dere’ (adj., Tr3.176).
