Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Criseyde, who felt herself taken like this — as scholars write in their old books — started to tremble just like an aspen leaf, when she felt him enfold her in his arms. But Troilus, quite recovered from his chill cares, then gave thanks to the seven bright gods. Thus various pains bring people to paradise!
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): こうして捕らえられていると感じたクリセイデは、学者たちが古い本の中で書いているように、トロイルスの両腕に抱かれているのを感じた時、まさにポプラの葉のように震えだした。しかし寒気を催す心配からまったく元気になったトロイルスは七つの輝く神々(七惑星)に感謝した。こうしていろいろな苦しみを経て人びとは天国へと導かれるのだ。
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956):  特罗勒斯，冤枉着急了一阵，现已完全恢复过来，祝谢着七位幸福之神。如是，人们常常要经过几番痛苦，然后才得进乐境。
