Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): You’ll see among the Greeks so many fine knights, full of zest and distinction, and each of them will do his best with heart, mind, and strength to please you, that you’ll become bored with the lack of refinement of us simple Trojans, unless pity makes you feel remorse, or the strength of your loyalty.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 君もギリシャ人たちの中の、幾多の勇敢な騎士たちを、誉れ十分の騎士を、注目するだろう。そして彼らはそれぞれ心を込め知恵を出し、能力を駆使して君を喜ばせようとあらゆる努力をするだろう。それによって君はおれたち野暮なトロイア人の武骨さにあきあきするだろう、憐れみの情や、約束の言葉が強くなって君に悔いが生まれない限りはね。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 你还可会见许多精壮的希腊将士，德行高尚，每人都用尽心力来讨你的喜爱。那时你自然就鄙弃我们这班粗鲁简单的特罗亚人，除非还有怜悯足以刺激你，或忠诚足以感动你。
