lat 524 A.D. I,4p
At vero hic etiam nostris malis cumulus accedit, quod existimatio plurimorum non rerum merita sed fortunae spectat eventum eaque tantum iudicat esse provisa quae felicitas commendaverit.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
22. DE INIQUIA OPINIONE ERGA MISEROS.
At uero accedit hic etiam cumulus nostris malis. Táz hûfôt síh óuh úber daz ánder léid. Quod existimatio plurimorum non spectat merita rerum . sed euentum fortunȩ. Táz mánigero uuân síh nîeht nechêret . án dîe urêhte dero uuércho . núbe an dîa geskíht tero trúgsâldôn. Et ea tantum iudicat esse prouisa . quȩ felicitas commendauerit. Únde uuânet échert târ geuuárehéite . dâr sâlighéit fólgêt. Tár-bî uuéllen sie diu díng chîesen álso tres amici iob uuóltôn.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Mais certes a nos malz s’aproiche et se conjoint cist acraissement de malz que li pris et li juigement de pluseurs n’atent pas ne ne regarde les merites des chosez, mais l’avenement de fortune, et juge celles choses tant seulement estre pourveues de dieu que beneureté recommande, c’est a dire que tant seulement sont faites bien et pourveablement les chosez que li riche home loent et font.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
But certes, to the harmes that I have, ther bitydeth yit this encrees of harm, that the gessinge and the Iugement of moche folk ne looken no-thing to the desertes of thinges, but only to the aventure of fortune ; and iugen that only swiche thinges ben purveyed of god, whiche that temporel welefulnesse commendeth.
Glose. As thus : that, yif a wight have prosperitee, he is a good man and worthy to han that prosperitee ; and who-so hath adversitee, he is a wikked man, and god hath forsake him, and he is worthy to han that adversitee. This is the opinioun of some folk.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.
But this is greatest heape to our midhap, that the valuiing of most, regards more fortunes event, than causes merit, And Judgith that best prouided, that felicitie reco¯mendith.
