Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘What chance or destiny,’ said Troilus, ‘has brought you here to see me suffering, who am universally rejected? But for the love of God, go away from here, I ask you; because seeing me die will certainly distress you, and I’ve got to die. So go away then—there’s no more to say.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 「どんな巡り合わせで」とトロイルスは言った。「どんな偶然で皆に愛想をつかされているおれのもとに、思い悩むおれに会いに来るようになったんだ？だけど、後生だから、お願いだ、ここから出て行ってくれよ、きっとおれの死にざまを見れば心を痛めるよ、おれはどうしても死なねばならないのだ。だから出て行っておくれ、言いたいことはそれだけだよ。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): “是什么风向，”特罗勒斯道，“把你吹来看我这个日损月瘦，人人唾弃的家伙？看神的面上请你走开罢，我这样奄奄一息，你看了只有痛苦，而我是死定了的；走罢，我没有多话可讲。

Comments from the Editor

This stanza follows Fil.2.2, but only Troilus (not Troiolo) describes himself as rejected by every creature.
