- Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
- English translations (Windeatt: 1998): I’ll stand by you myself in this action, though I and all my kin shall in one hour lie dead in a street like dogs, pierced through with many a gaping and bleeding would! In every situation you’ll find me a friend. And if you want to die here like a wretch — goodbye, and to hell with anyone who cares about it!’
- Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 私自身これを行なうに際しておそばでご一緒します。たとえ私と私の家族全員がたちまち幾多の流血の深手を負って、犬のように野たれ死にして、町の路上に横たわっても構いません。どんな場合でも力になって差し上げましょう。ただ、もしここで駄目な男として死ぬほうを選ばれるなら、おさらば、悪魔にお助けあれ、となりますよ。」
- Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 大胆做去，我一定扶助你，哪怕我和亲友们都立刻像狗一样死在路旁，满身宽阔的伤口，淋着鲜血，无论怎样，你仍可信任我是你的朋友。可是你若一无魄力，情愿在这里奄奄一息，那就请了，只好由恶魔来同你周旋！”
