- Description
- A comparison of TC 4.897-98 with Boccaccio's Italian suggests that more of the clause is Criseyde's quotation than is usually punctuated as such. Also, "sighte" may be a copying error for "right." The resulting text, corrected and repunctuated, would read: "'Gret is my wo,' quod she, 'and right sore, /As she that feleth...'"
