Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘For all I know,’ Troilus then said to Pandarus, ‘Criseyde’s certainly not coming into this town before noon. She surely has enough to do to get away from her father, so I believe. Her old father will yet make her dine before she goes—God give his heart pain!’
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): それからトロイルスはパンダルスにこう言った。「ぼくが推知する限り、正午までには、どうやら、クリセイデはこの町にもここにも戻って来ないようだ。彼女はきっとお父上のもとを離れるためには、やるべきことがどっさりあるんだ、そう思うよ。老いたお父上は彼女が去る前にまだ食事をさせたいのだろう―苦しい思いをするがいいんだ！」
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “照我想来，”特罗勒斯对彭大瑞道，“克丽西德不会在午前进城。她一刻还不容易辞去她的父亲，我相信。她的老父还要她吃了饭再走；啊，上天勿让他有好日子过！”

Comments from the Editor

As mentioned in Tr2.1557, the time for dinner is around 10 a.m. Based on this assumption and knowing that Criseyde is expected to have dinner with her father, Troilus concludes that she will not return before noon.
