eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.This same place that thou clepest exil, is contree to hem that enhabiten heer, and forthy nothing [is] wrecched but whan thou wenest it: aswhoseith, thou thy-self, ne no wight elles, nisawrecche, but whan he weneth him-self a wrecche by reputacioun of his corage. And ayeinward, alle fortune is blisful[ ] to a man by the agreabletee or by the egalitee of him that suffreth it.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.This place which thou thy bannishment callst, is the inhabitantes countrey. so nothing is wretched, but when it is thought so, & blessed is all luck that haps with sufferers ease.
