Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): By way of courtesy, Troilus rode, with a hawk on his hand and with a huge crowd of knights, and kept her company, passing far beyond the valley; he would certainly have ridden further very gladly and was sad to leave so soon, but turn he must. It had to be done.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): トロイルスは、礼儀正しい態度で、手に鷹を止まらせ、大勢の騎士を引き連れ、彼女の供をして、町の外遠く谷を越えて行った。無論、さらに馬に乗って行きたくて行きたくてたまらなかっただろう、それにすぐさま別れるのは辛かった。しかし向きを変えねばならず、それもまたせざるを得なかった。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 特罗勒斯礼节周到，老鹰憩在手上，带领着大队的武士，骑马远送过山凹；他当然很想能再送远些，如此急迫的别离令他悲痛；只恨已送到那里，实在不能不回头了。

Comments from the Editor

This stanza differs from its counterpart of Fil in some details. Firstly, Troiolo has the hawk on his fist and Troilus has it on his hand. Secondly, Troiolo goes far as to the outer ring of the rampart, but Troilus is described as passing beyond the valley.
