Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): The morning came, and Diomede came to Criseyde—to give the spirit of it—and briefly, in case you interrupt my tale, he spoke so well for himself that he laid all her bitter sighs to rest; and finally, to tell the truth, he relieved her of the chief part of all her pain.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 事実の通り申し上げると、朝が来ると、ディオメーデはクリセイデのもとにやって来た。皆さんが私の話の腰を折るといけませんので、手短に申せば、彼は自分のために言業巧みに弁じ立てたので、彼は彼女の苦しい吐息をすっかり和らげた。偽りなく言うと、とうとう、彼女の苦痛の主要部分を取り去ってしまったのである。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 次晨，戴沃密得迳来看克丽西德；让我简捷地说来，免得你们打断我的话头，他把自己吹嘘得天花乱坠，竟缓和了她的嗟叹，最后消灭她的许多愁烦。

Comments from the Editor

Chaucer adds this scene, in which Criseyde gradually making up her mind not to return to Troy. However, Chaucer also adds the description (5.1051–85) depicting Criseyde as the most sorrowful lady in the world when she changes her heart.
