- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘O cruel Jove, and you, adverse Fortune,’ he then said, full of high disdain, ‘this is the whole of it: that you have treacherously killed Criseyde, and since you can do no worse to me, I scorn your power and hostile actions!
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): それから彼ははげしい侮蔑の念を一杯にして、こう言った。「おお、残忍なユーピテルよ、そして汝、逆らう〈運命の女神〉よ、つまるところこうなのです。貴方たちはクリセイデを裏切って殺してしまわれたが、おれにはこれ以上ひどい事が出来ないから、貴方たちの力や敵意ある行動も大したことはないですね！
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他怨愤填胸，这样说道，“啊，残酷的穹父和无情的命运，你们既不顾一切，冤枉害死了克丽西德，已将我限于绝境，为害也止于此了，你们那威力，那颠倒的技能，都已不在我眼中！”
