English translations (Windeatt: 1998): 　And with that she laid her arm over him, and forgave him everything, and often kissed him.

Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そう言いながら両腕を彼の体にかけ、すべて許し、たびたび彼にキスをした。彼は彼女に感謝し、彼女に話しかけて、自分の心の安らぎに相応しいようなことを言った。彼女はそれに対して好むままに彼に答え、喜びを与える言葉を使って元気づけながら、彼をたびたび慰めた。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 手膀挽着他，亲吻不已，一切都饶恕了。他向她道谢，和她谈说着，消除了心中的苦闷，她也以好言相待，为他解忧。

Comments from the Editor

Troilus faints when he is blamed by his lady. This scene describes the two protagonists’ behavior after Troilus wakes up. See also my comment of ‘dere’ (adj., Tr3.494).
