- In the morning Pandarus came to his niece and greeted her pleasantly, saying:

- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 朝、パンダルスは姪のところにやって来て、姪に丁寧に挨拶して、言った。「夕べは、夜通し、ああ、ひどい雨だったね、姪よ、私が気遺っているのは、ただ眠り込むだけで夢を見る暇がほとんどなかったのではないかということだ。夜通し、雨の音のために私は眠れなかったが、そのせいで頭痛になった者もいると思うよ。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 早上，彭大瑞来看甥女，慰问着道，“通夜下雨，深虑你未能安然入梦呢；雨声吵得我一夜未眠，我想总有人难免被吵得头痛吧。”
