Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- Troilus then began to sigh sorrowfully—it seemed to him his heart was dying within him, in case she were angry—and said:
- ‘Alas, my sweet heart, Criseyde, have mercy on my sick man’s sorrows! And if there’s anything wrong in the words that I said, I won’t transgress any more. Do what you please. I’m completely dependent on your favour.’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): するとトロイルスは悲しみにため息をついた。彼女は怒らないかと心臓が消えてしまいそうに思えたが、言った。「ああ、おれの愛しの人、クリセイデよ、おれの病的な悲しみに慈悲を垂れたまえ。おれが言った言薬の中に何らかの間違いがあれば、もうこれ以上過ちを犯さない。好きなようにしてくれ、すべて君の情けにかかっているのだ。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 特罗勒斯觉得心焦，伤感地叹息，深怕她生气；说道，“呀，最甜蜜的克丽西德，请恕我这胡思乱想！我若说错了什么话，决不敢再犯；我愿一切顺从你的意愿，全靠你垂怜。”
