Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): When Criseyde heard her uncle—with anxious heart, and eager to hear the reason for his coming—she answered like this: ‘Now, on your honour, my dear uncle,’ said she, ‘what kind of winds now guide you here? Tell us about your “jolly woe” and your suffering! How far have you got in love’s dance’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): クリセイデは気がかりな気持を持って叔父の言うことを聞くと、叔父がやってきた理由をしきりにたずねたく思い、こう答えた。「さて、叔父様、誓って申し上げますが、叔父様、どのような風の吹き回しでここへいらしたの？叔父様の楽しい悲しみと苦行とやらをお話くださいな。どのくらい恋のダンスは上達されまして？」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 克丽西德听了舅父的话，心上颤栗，很想知道他因何而来，答道，“亲爱的舅父，到底是什么风把你吹来的？告诉我，你所感觉的快乐的悲哀是什么？你忏悔了什么？在爱的舞场上你已跳到什么程度了？”
