Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): O Pandarus, who’ve often blamed and reproached me for trusting in dreams, you can see for yourself, if you will, how true your fair niece Criseyde is now! In various forms, God knows,’ he said, ‘the gods reveal both joy and grief in sleep, and this is now seen by my dream.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): おおパンダルス、そなたはおれが夢を信用していることを責め、𠮟責したことがよくあった。さあ、望むなら、そなた自身、そなたの姪、美貌のクリセイデが、何と誠実だったかが今に見られるよ。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 呀，彭大瑞，你责备我相信梦幻，现在你该知道你的甥女是如何真心了！神在人们的睡梦中显示悲乐，我的这场梦就足以证实。
