Entonces el rey me dijo, (y la reina estaba sentada junto a él): ¿Hasta cuándo será tu viaje, y cuándo volverás? Y plugo al rey enviarme, después que yo le señalé tiempo.
El rey, con la reina sentada a su lado, me dijo: «¿Cuánto durará tu viaje y cuándo volverás?». Al rey le pareció bien enviarme, y le indiqué un plazo.
Le roi, auprès duquel la reine était assise, me dit alors: Combien ton voyage durera-t-il, et quand seras-tu de retour? Il plut au roi de me laisser partir, et je lui fixai un temps.

Então o rei me disse, estando a rainha assentada junto a ele: Quanto durará a tua viagem, e quando voltarás? E aprouve ao rei enviar-me, apontando-lhe eu um certo tempo.
