Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Troilus was simply wonderfully well pleased with the way she moved and with her manner, which was somewhat haughty, for she let fall a sidelong glance, as if to say: ‘What! May I not stand here?’ After that her look brightened, so that it seemed to him he had never seen so fine a sight.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): その上、少し人を見下すような、クリセイデの身のこなしや態度は、トロイルスには殊のほか好ましく見え始めた。まるで「ああ、わたし、ここにいることはできないのですか」と、言うような態度で、ちょっと脇見をしたからである。その後明るい表情になったが、そのために彼は、これほど素晴らしい女性の景色を見たことがないように思われた。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 特罗勒斯赞赏着她的动作和姿态，她的眼睛略闪过一边，露出一点抱怨的心情，似乎在说，“难道我不应该站在这里？”一会儿她脸上却又开朗起来，使得他心中私度，如此可人的模样在这天地间何曾见过。
