Line Information

• Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
• English translations (Windeatt: 1998): And this can’t be destroyed by length of years, or obliterated by changeable Fortune. But may Jupiter, who through his power can make the sorrowful happy, grant us the favour of meeting here before then nights, so that your heart and mine may find contentment enough! And now farewell, for it is time for you to get up.’
• Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): この気持ちは長い年月によって壊されるはずがありませんし、移り気の〈運命の女神〉によって消されるはずもありません。しかし願わくはその御力から悲しむ者を喜ばせてくださるユーピテル様が、お恵みを与えてくださり、十日が経たないうちにわたしたちがこの場所でお会いできて、それにより貴方のお心とわたしの心が満たされますように！それではご機嫌よろしゅう、もう起きていただく時刻ですから。」
• Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 年久也不能动摇，运歹也不能屈服。啊，求必妥，你能使悲哀的人快乐，让我们于十天之内再会于此，使我如愿以偿；再见了，现在是你起身的时候了。”
