Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And since I speak from good intentions, as I’ve said to you before, indeed, and love your honour and good name as well as anyone in this world, by all the oaths that I’ve sworn to you—if you should be angry because of this or think I’m lying, I’ll never set eyes on you again!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そして前にお前に話したように、私は善意から語るのであるから、そして私が立てたあらゆる誓いにかけて、この世に生まれたどの人よりもお前の誉れと評判を好もしく思っているので、もしお前が怒るなら、あるいは私が嘘をついていると思うなら、私はこの両方の目でもう二度とお前を見ることはないだろう。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 我已对你讲过，我的本心全是为好，我爱你的名与节，胜似全世界的任何一人，以我对你所立的一切誓愿为证，假使你还是不乐意，或以为我会撒谎，我就从此不再见你了。
