- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translation (Windeatt: 1998) (Windeatt: 1998): With that he looked at Pandarus, with changed face and pitiful to see. And when he could find the right time, as he rode along, he continually told Pandarus about his new sorrow and his former happiness too, so piteously and with such a deathly pale colour that anyone would have had compassion on his sorrow.
- Japanese translation (Sasamoto: 2012) (Sasamoto: 2012): そう言って彼はパンダルスに視線を投げたが、変わり果てた見るも痛ましい顔つきだった。そして彼は適当な時を見計らうと、馬の背に揺られながら、絶えずパンダルスに新たな悲しみや、またかつての幸せについて語ったが、あまりにも痛ましい死人のように青い顔色だったので、誰しも彼の悲しみに同情を覚えざるを得なかったであろう。
- Chinese translation (Fang: 1956) (Fang: 1956): 他转过苦脸来注视着膨大瑞；他凑着时机，一面骑马，一面向彭大瑞倾吐着他的新愁旧欢，十分凄恻，面如土色，任何人见了也要伤痛。

Comments from the Editor
Troilus goes with Pandarus to see Criseyde’s palace. While looking at the closed windows and doors, Troilus realizes sadly that he cannot even kiss the cold door. Fil does not have a similar scene in which his complexion is described.
