Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): I am not saying that she gave him her love so suddenly, only that she began to be inclined to like him at first and I have told you why; and after that, his manhood and his suffering made love mine away inside her, which is why he obtained her love in the course of time and through devoted service in love, and in no sudden fashion.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 私が言いたいのはクリセイデがまったく突然にトロイルスに愛を許したのではなく、初めは好意を寄せてもよいという気になっただけのことである、その理由はもう話したから。その後トロイルスの男らしさと彼の恋の苦悩の力で彼女の心の中の愛を採掘したのであり、それゆえに彼は時の流れとまことの献身を経て彼女の愛を得たのであって、突然に得たのではないのである。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 我说她并没有很快就爱上了他，因为最初她的心不过有些倾向于他，我已叙述过是什么缘故；后来，他的威武，气度，以及对她那种渴望使爱情钻进了她的心房，再加上他的殷勤，逐渐地换得了她的心，这当然不是一朝一夕的事。
