Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): You have heard tell how it was agreed to be for the best that Pandarus should be sent from Troilus to Criseyde (and he was very happy to do him that service), so in a secret fashion he came to Criseyde, where she lay in torment and in frenzied grief, to tell her the whole of his message.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): パンダルスはトロイルスからの使いとしてクリセイデのもとへ遣わされたのだが、貴方がたは説明をお聞きになられたように、それが最善の策としてこのように同意され、パンダルスは大喜びでその務めを果たすのであるが、苦悶と狂乱の悲しみのうちに伏せっていたクリセイデのもとへと、極秘のうちに、トロイルスの言伝(ことづて)を一部始終伝えようとやって来た。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 我已说过，彭大瑞和特罗勒斯商量妥当，先来看克丽西德，他一心要为特罗勒斯解决困难，偷偷摸摸，一径来向克丽西德透露全部消息，正看见她愁愤不堪，无以自解。
