Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): When she wished to retire, and those who ought to withdraw had withdrawn, she said that she wanted to sleep. Her women soon escorted her to her bed. When all was hushed, she lay quietly and thought over this whole thing—there is no need to go over the mode and manner of everything again, for you are wise!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 間もなくクリセイデは床に就きたく思い、立ち去るべき人たちがたち去ると、寝たいと言った。侍女たちはすぐに彼女をベッドへ導いた。すべてがしんと静まり返ると、静かに横になり、このたびのことをあれこれ考えた。それを繰り返す必要はないだろう、皆さんは賢いから。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 她预备休息，应告辞的人都告辞，她说很想就寝了。女侍把她安置上床，一切安静无声，她躺着只顾前思后想。何用我来复述，你们都是聪明人。
