lat 524 A.D. I,5pSi enim cuius oriundo sis patriae reminiscare, non uti Atheniensium quondam multitudinis imperio regitur, sed εἷς κοίρανός ἐστιν, εἷς βασιλεύς qui frequentia civium non depulsione laetetur; cuius agi frenis atque obtemperare iustitiae summa libertas est.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300Car se tu te remembres de quel pais tu as esté nez, il n’est pas gouvernés par empire ne par commandement de multitude, si comme fu jadis li pais des Atheniensiens, mais un seul en est sires, c’est un dieu qui s’esjoist du hanteiz et de la demourance de ses citeiens, non pas de bouter les hors en exil ; et est souveraine franchise de estre gouverné par les frains de celui et obeir a sa justice.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.For yif thou remembre of what contree thou art born, it nis nat governed by emperours, ne by governement of multitude, as weren the contrees of hem of Athenes ; but oo lord and oo king, and that is god, that is lord of thy contree, whiche that reioyseth him of the dwelling of hise citezenes, and nat for to putte hem in exil ; of the whiche lorde it is a soverayne fredom to be governed by the brydel of him and obeye to his Iustice.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.for if thou remember from what countrey thou cammest, not guyded as Athens was, by rule of multitude, but one King & Ruler, that Joyeth more in subiectes nomber than their expulse: with shose raynes to be guyded & Justice obeyde, is greatest libertie.
