“In contrarium igitur relapsa res est; nam quae sufficientes sibi facere putabantur opes, alieno potius praesidio faciunt indigentes.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
In contrarium igitur relapsa est res. Úbe díz sús íst chád si . sô íst taz tíng uuíderuuártîgo bechêret. Nam opes quȩ putabantur facere sufficientes sibi . indigentes potius faciunt alieno presidio. Íh méino dâr-ána . uuánda der rîhtûom dér sie gnúhtîge tûon sólta . íro sélbero hálb . tér tûot sie dúrftîge ánderro hélfo. Táz íst argumentum ab euentu. Sámo sî cháde. Quia diuites euenit egere . ideo diuitiȩ sunt causa egestasis.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
– Or est donques la chose tournee en contraire : que les richeces, que li homme cuidoient que elles les feissent suffisans, les font plus avoir besoing de estrange aide.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
‘Than is this thinge torned in-to the contrarye,’ quod she. ‘For richesses , that men wenen sholde make suffisaunce, they maken a man rather han nede of foreyne help!
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p. 48-49, 35-37
The matter is fallen otherwise now, for such riches as were thought sufficient of them selves, are needy of others ayde.
