Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- At this he turned a little red, out of modesty, when he heard the people acclaiming him, so that it was rare sport to watch how modestly he looked down. Criseyde absorbed everything about his manner, and let it sink so softly into her heart that she said to herself:
- ‘Who gave me a drink?
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): トロイルスは人びとが自分に対して叫ぶのを聞いた時、恥ずかしくなって少し赤くなった。そのためにいかに慎み深く目を落としたかを見ることは、ほほえましい光景であり楽しいことだった。クリセイデは王子の姿を一部始終見て、そっと心の中に沈ませて、独り言ちた。「どなたかしら、わたしにお酒を振舞ったのは？」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他听着人们这样叫喊，脸上羞得发红，他沉默着，垂下了眼，看去煞有风致。克丽西德看得出神，他那神情深深地映进了她的心坎，她不禁自言自语起来，说道，“是谁把我喝醉了酒？”
