Line Information

  • Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
  • English translations (Windeatt: 1998): I also find elsewhere in the stories that, when Diomede was injured, thrust through the body by Troilus, she then wept many a tear, when she saw his wide wounds bleed, and that she took good care to look after him; and in order to heal him of his painful sorrows, people say—I don’t know—that she gave him her heart.
  • Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 物語の他の箇所を見ると、ディオメーデがトロイルスに体を突かれて傷を受け、大きな傷口から血が流れ出るのを見た時、彼女はたくさんの涙を流し、大いに心を砕いて、彼を看病したということである。そして彼のひどい悲しみを癒してやるために、彼女は情けをかけたと人は言う――私ではない――。
  • Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 我还在其他书中看到,戴沃密得被特罗勒斯刺伤,她见他伤口涌着血,竟流了许多泪;并细心护侍他;有人说—我却不知底细—她为了慰劳他的愁痛,竟将一颗心交给了他。
