Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- Her father took her in his arms and kissed his sweet daughter twenty times and said:
- ‘O my dear daughter, welcome!’
- She too said she was glad to meet him again and stood there mute, mild-mannered, and meek. But there I leave her to remain with her father, and I will tell you further about Troilus.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 彼女の父は彼女を両腕に抱き寄せ、二十度も美しい娘にキスをして、言った。「わが愛しの娘を、よくぞ来てくれた！」彼女もお父様にお会いできてうれしいと言って、そこに、黙って、物腰柔らかく、大人しく立った。しかし私はここに彼女を父親と一緒に置いておき、さらにトロイルスについて貴方がたに話そう。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 她父亲接住她在怀里，再三亲吻，说道，“好女儿，欢迎你来了！”她也说很高兴能来为他作伴，说完后默然站着，态度温和可爱。这里我将暂时按下不提，让她和父亲一起，且先讲特罗勒斯。
