Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And so I will conclude on this subject that truly, as far as I can discern, there is no true happiness here in this world. But O jealousy, you wicked serpent, you misbelieving and envious madness, why have you made Troilus distrustful of me, who never yet did him any wrong that I know of?’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): だからわたしはこのように結論づけましょう、正直に言えば、おそらく、この世には本当の幸せはないでしょうと。しかし、おお、よこしまな蛇たる、嫉妬よ、疑い深い、嫉妬深い愚か者よ、知る限り、トロイルス様には未だ悪いことをしたことがない、わたしに対しどうして貴方は不信を抱くように仕向けたのですか。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 由此看来，我不得不说这世上的确没有真正的幸福。可是，嫉妒啊，你确是一条毒蛇，你一味邪言謬说，我从未有意得罪过特罗勒斯，为什么竟使他怀疑起来？”
