Line Information

Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘my own heart’s true fulfilment, since I’m completely yours alone, that while I’m away no pleasure in anyone else put me from your thoughts, for I’m afraid all the time, because people say “love is something always full of anxiety”.
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): わたしの心の真の充足であられるお方、わたしは完全に貴方のもの、それ以外のものでありませんから、わたしがいない間、他のどなたかとお楽しみになってわたしをお忘れにならないでください。だってわたしはずっと怯えておりますもの、なぜなら愛はつねに恐ろしい不安に満ちたものと人は言いますから。
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 我全心的占领者，我既归你所有，求你莫在我离去的时期中，移爱于人而忘记了我。我一向最忌俗语所说的一句话，‘爱情常多虑’。
