Differences among the manuscripts and editions:
English translations (Windeatt: 1998): ‘Love, that rules the earth and sea; Love, that has its commands in heaven on high; Love, that holds peoples united in beneficial alliance as it is pleased to direct them; Love, that knits together law of companionship and causes couples to live together in virtue—bind together this accord that I have talked of and talk of still!
Japanese translations (Sasamoto: 2012): 「大地と海を治めたもう〈愛の神〉よ、高い天空にて指揮なさる〈愛の神〉よ、御心のままに、健全な絆により人びとを結びつけなさる〈愛の神〉よ、交わりの掟を織り上げなさり、夫婦に徳を持って暮らせたもう〈愛の神〉よ、語りきて今も語るこの和合を固く結びたまえ！
Chinese translations (Fang: 1956): 情爱统治着大陆汪洋，情爱驾驭着高天，情爱使人们取得美满的结合，情爱颁定友伴间的规律，夫妇同居的礼让，愿它也紧繋住这段良缘。
