Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): But when their two weary and unhappy spirits had returned to where they were supposed to dwell, and the pain began to weaken somewhat because of the length of time spent lamenting, and the spring of their tears started to ebb, and their hearts grow less swollen, Criseyde said these same words to Troilus, in a broken voice all hoarse and worn out from shrieking:

Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他两人的困倦的魂灵归到了原位，由于哭泣过度，感觉逐渐麻木，苦泪的源泉枯竭下来，红肿的心消减了些，这时克丽西德用她那哭糙了的破嗓子说道，
