Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Like someone accustomed to guiding his young knights about, this Troilus was leading them up and down throughout that spacious temple, always quizzing the ladies of the city, now here, now there, for he had no devotion to any of them to deprive him of his rest, but praised and found fault with whichever he pleased.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): このトロイルスはいつものように、若い騎士たちをあちこち引き具し、この大きな寺院の至る所へ連れ歩きながら、ここかしこにおいて、いつも町の淑女たちに目をやった。だが、興味をおぼえる女性を褒めたり貶したりするだけで、彼の心の平穏を奪うほど、真心を傾けられる女性は未だまったく見当たらなかった。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 这时，特罗勒斯和平常一样，带领着他的年轻武士们在大庙中到处游逛，东张西望，眼睛却离不了城中仕女的身上，只因他并未钟情于谁，他的心情也就没有受到任何骚扰，因而或褒或贬，漫不经心。

Comments from the Editor

This stanza and the subsequent ones closely follow Fil. Regarding the use of the demonstrative pronoun ‘this’ with the name Troilus in line 183, Windeatt (1998: 156) observes that it appears with the name Troilus approximately 42 times, 11 times with Pandarus, and 16 times with Diomede, but it is never used with Criseyde.
