Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And after this he went to the gates where Criseyde had ridden out at a good pace, and he took many a turn up and down there, and he very often said to himself: ‘Alas, my bliss and my joy rode out from here! Blessed God, now grant, for his joy, that I might see her come back into Troy again!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): この後トロイルスはクリセイデが馬に乗って去った城門まで早駈けして行き、その辺りを行ったり来たり何回となく巡り、たびたび独り言ちた。「ああ、おれの幸せとおれの慰めがここから馬に乗って去ってしまった！願わくは幸せを与える神様、今貴方の喜びとして、あの人が再びトロイアへ戻って来る姿が見られますように！
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他于是纵马去克丽西德离去时所经过的城门下徘徊，一再自言道，“呀，我的欢爱由此出城而去！愿上天赐福，让我见她重进特罗亚来！
