Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘Was there no other brooch you cared to let go, with which to endow your new love,’ said he, ‘but that very brooch that I gave you, with my tears, as a memento of me? You had no reason, alas, unless out of spite, and also because you meant to display your intentions quite openly.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 君には新しい恋人に贈るために手放したいと思うブローチは他になかったのか。おれの思い出の品として、涙で濡れながら、君に与えたまさにそのブローチしかなかったのか。ああ、君は軽蔑のため以外に他にどんな理由もなかったのだ、そしてかなり公然と君の本心も示そうとしたからなのだ。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 你就没有其他的扣针好送，而偏要把这一只沾湿了我的眼泪给你留作纪念的扣针转赠给你的新爱吗？呀，你送掉这个东西无非是要侮辱我，且藉此想表露你的心意！

Comments from the Editor

This stanza follows Fil.8.14, but there are slight differences as well. One notable distinction is that Troilolo explicitly mentions Diomede as Criseida’s new lover, whereas Troilus refrains from mentioning the name in his own account.
