Line Information
- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): Then he declared in this way: ‘O Love! O Charity! May your mother too, the sweet Cytherea, be praised next after yourself — I mean Venus, the benevolent planet! — and after that I salute you, Hymen, for never was a man beholden to you gods as I am, whom you have brought in out of the cold of misery.
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): それから彼はこう言った。「ああ、＜愛の神＞、ああ＜慈愛の神＞！貴方の母、美人のキュテレイア様も、貴方の次に、讃えましょうーー愛の神様とはウェヌスのこと、吉星たる金星のことなのです！――その次に、結婚の神イメネウス様に敬意を表します。なぜなら非情な悲しみから救われたおれほど、貴方がた神々から恩義を受けた者は誰もいないのですから。
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 他这样说着，“啊，爱之神，啊，恩惠之使，还有你的母亲，慈蔼的西塞丽亚也应受颂赞，维娜丝啊，你是仁慈的星辰；其次，我敬拜婚神海门；我感拜诸神救了我逃出困厄，谁也没有我这样诚恳。
