Sed quis non spernat atque abiciat vilissimae fragilissimaeque rei corporis seruum?
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Sed quis non spernat atque abiciat corporis seruum . rei uilissimȩ et fragilissime? Uuémo nesól áber únuuért sîn . des lîchamen scálh ? tes feruuórfenôsten dínges . únde des prôdesten ? Tîe uoluptati dîenônt . tîe sínt tes lîchamen scálcha. Tîe spiritui dîenônt . tîe sínt spiritales . únde góte gelîh . tér spiritus íst . únde bedíu sínt tîe frî.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
chascun te despira et te deguerpira comme serf a chose tres vilz et tres foible, c’est a savoir a ton corps.1
1. Here Jean's translation agrees with Watts and with Kraggerud, it disagrees with Tester.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
every wight shal despisen thee and forleten thee, as thou that art thral to thing that is right foul and brotel ; that is to seyn, servaunt to thy body.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p.55, 11-12
But who wold not despise & throwe away tbe bodyes bondage so frayle & vile?
