Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): When Troilus had heard how Pandarus agreed to help him in his loving of Criseyde, he became (as one might say) untormented by his unhappiness, but his love grew hotter and he spoke like this, with a sober expression although his heart was light: ‘Now blessed Venus grant that I may deserve some thanks from you, Pandarus, before I die!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): トロイルスは、パンダルスがクリセイデへの愛の助けになることに同意するのを聞いた時、いわば、悲しみの責め苦が和らいできたが、しかし彼の恋はさらに熱くなり、心は軽くなったけれども、真面目な顔つきをしながら、彼はこう言った。「さあ恵み深いウェヌスよ、お助けください、おれが死ぬ前に、パンダルス、そなたから何らかの感謝をされてよいように。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 特罗勒斯听得彭大瑞答应帮他完成这段情缘，他的悲哀虽已不来侵扰，他的爱火却愈加炽热，他的心灵虽在舞跃，脸色却是沉静的，他一面说道，“啊，祝福维娜丝，在我未死之前，彭大瑞，我一定要努力不负你的美意。
