Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- To this Troilus replied very quietly and said:
- ‘By God, my dear, dear brother, I’ve very often thought of all this myself, and of more than you suggest here. But I’ll certainly tell you why I haven’t done this, and when you’ve listened to me, you can say what you think afterwards.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): これに対してトロイルスは大変物静かに応えて、言った。「もちろん、親愛なる兄弟、おれ自身たびたびそのことをよく考えたよ、ここでそなたが提案してくれている以上にね。しかしなぜこの計画を取り消したか、そなたに聞かせよう。そして、おれの言うことを聞いてくれたら、その後でそなたの意見を言ってくれたまえ。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 于是特罗勒斯温和地答道，“亲爱的朋友，这些我都想到过，并且还不止于此。你且听我说来，为什么这些都办不通；等听了之后，再说你的话。
