Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): To put it in a nutshell, Troilus never had enough of speaking about this matter, of praising to Pandarus the goodness of his own dear lady, and of thanking and making much of Pandarus. This topic was always just like new each time it was begun again, until night parted them.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 一言で言うと、トロイルスはこの問題について話そうとしても十分に話し切れず、彼自身の大事な本当の愛人の良さをパンダルスに褒め称えようとしても十分に褒め切れず、感謝して気を配ろうにも十分にし切れなかった。この話はいつも再び話し出される毎に新しい話題のようになり、ついに夜になって二人が別れるまで続いた。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 总之，特罗勒斯对于此事百谈不厌，再三向彭大瑞称颂爱人的美德，又不断地谢他，博得他的欢心，他俩不乏新颖的谈话资料，直到天黑才分手。
