eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.For certes, swiche is the condicioun of alle mankinde, that only whan it hath knowinge of it-selve, than passeth it in noblesse alle other thinges; and whan it forleteth the knowinge of it-self, than is it brought binethen alle beestes.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.For this is the state of humayn nature, that then it exceedes all other, whan it self it knowes, but is made baser than very beastes, if to know it self it leave.
