Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- With that he sighed very deeply, and in this way he said:
- ‘My true lady, the fount and root of my happiness or sorrow, O my own excellent Criseyde! Must I get up, alas? Must I really? Now I feel my heart must break in two, for how should I go on living for an hour, since all the life I have is with you?
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そう言って彼は深くため息をつき、こう言った。「わが真の恋人よ、そしておれの幸せもしくは悲しみの源泉であり根本である、おおすばらしいわがクリセイデよ、ああ、おれは起きようか、そうしようか。今心臓は二つに裂けそうに感じる。離れてはどうして命を一時間も保てようか、命はすべて君とともにあるのだから。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他于是伤叹着，又说道，“我的爱，我的悲乐之源，好克丽西德，我必须起身吗？我的心要破裂了。除非你伴着我，我没有乐趣，没有你在身边，我哪里还争得一刻的生命？
