Line Information

  • Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
  • English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Now the situation is this. Since I left you, to speak bluntly, Troilus has come in all this rain via a secret route, by a gutter, into my room, unbeknown to everyone except myself, indeed, as I hope to be happy, and by that loyalty I owe to Priam of Troy!
  • Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): さて状況はこうだ、私がお前のもとを去ってから、はっきり言うと、トロイルス様は樋伝いに、秘密の通路を経て、この雨の中、私の部屋に来られた、もちろん、断然うれしいことに、私自身を除いて、誰にも知られずに、私がトロイアのプリアモス王に抱いている忠誠にかけて誓うよ。
  • Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 干脆的说,在我辞别你之后,特罗勒斯冒着这大雨,穿过一道水沟,走一条隐秘的路径来到我房里,除我以外,没有一人知道,确是如此,我敢以对国王普莱谟的虔诚发誓担保!
