Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): When she saw him, she at once hid her tear-stained face in her arms for shame, at which Pandarus felt so overwhelmed with sadness that he could scarcely remain in the house. His heart went out to the suffering that surrounded him on all sides, for if Criseyde had lamented bitterly before, she then began to lament a thousand times more.
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 彼女は彼を見ると、恥ずかしさのあまりすぐに涙に濡れた顔を両手で覆い隠した。そのためにパンダルスはひどく辛い気持になり、家に居たたまれなくならんばかりになった。どの点から見ても大変気の毒に感じたからで、クリセイデは前にもひどく嘆いたとしても、この時はさらにその千倍も悲しみ始めたからである。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 见他来了，她心中不自在，把泪脸躲进两臂；彭大瑞一阵心酸，觉得房中充满了悲伤，坐立不安。克丽西德原已哀泣不止，现竟千倍地悲恸起来。
