Line Information

  • Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
  • English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Altogether innocent of Pandarus’ intentions, Criseyde then said: ‘Let’s go, dear uncle.’  And she went to go in, arm in arm with him, having carefully considered her words and her manner. And Pandarus said very earnestly:  ‘For the love of God, I beg you all to stay right here and amuse yourselves quietly!
  • Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): パンダルスの意図をまったく知らずに、その時クリセイデは「参りましょう、叔父様」と言って、言葉遣いと態度についてよく考えながら、パンダルスと腕を組んで中に入った。そしてパンダルスは、真面目な態度になって、言った。「お付きの皆さん、お願いだから、どうか、ここにいてください。くつろぎが嵩じて騒がないようにね。
  • Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 克丽西德满不知道彭大瑞的用意,说道,“我们进去,好舅父;”挽着臂膀他俩走进去,心中盘算如何开口,如何举止;彭大瑞诚恳地说道,“请各位在这里多等一下,谈笑时请轻声些。
