Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998):
- And he stopped for a while, and when he could bring anything out his next word was:
- ‘God knows that, in so far as I have had any understanding at all, I have been entirely yours, God save me, and shall be until I, miserable wretch, am buried! And though I neither dare nor know how to make my lament to you, I certainly don’t suffer any the less pain.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): そしてしばらく沈黙し、口が利けるようになると、次の言葉を発した。「誓って、いやしくもおれが理解している限り、神よ、わが魂をお救いあれ、誓って、おれは君のものであります、悲しい人間たるおれは埋葬されるまでは変わらぬつもりです！たとえ君に悲しみを訴える試みもせず、すべも知らないとしても、問違いなく、それでもなお、苦しみを受けています。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 停了一会，等他勉强能再开口的时候，第二句话就是，“上天知道，以我所有 的智能，一向全力为你服役，并将永久如此，到死不变。我虽不敢，且不知，向你怎样诉说，我的痛苦却从未减轻过。
