- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- And he came closer and said: How do things stand now, this merry morning? How are you getting on, niece?’
- ‘Never any the better for you, fox that you are!’ Criseyde replied. ‘God give your heart care! God help me, you caused this whole affair, I believe,’ said she, ‘for all your white lies. O, whoever only sees you knows you very little!’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 彼はさらに近づいて、言った。「調子はどうだね、気持のいい朝なんだが。姪よ、どう元気かね。」クリセイデは答えた。「おかげで散々ですわ。叔父様は狐だわ！天罰が下りますように！天に誓って、こうなったのは叔父様の仕業ね。きっとそうだわ、もっともらしいことをおっしゃって。ああ、外面だけでは叔父様の本心は殆ど分かりませんわ。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他走近一步又道，“在这大好的晨光里你觉得怎样？甥女，你好吗？”
- “再好也没有了，”克丽西德答道，“你这个狐狸精，天不容你！上帝照看我，听你怎样能说坦白的话，却凑成这套把戏来。啊，只看你的外表，哪里知道你心中的鬼！”
