Considera uero, ne quod nihilo indigere, quod potentissimum, quod honore dignissimum esse concessum est, egere claritudine quam sibi praestare non possit atque ob id aliqua ex parte uideatur abiectius.”
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Considera uero quod nihilo indigere . quod potentissimum . quod honore dignissimum esse concessum est . ne egere claritudine . quam sibi non possit prestare. Târ chíus tir . dáz álles tínges úndúrftîg íst . únde máhtîg . únde êrháfte íst . álso dû geiégen hábest . táz témo úndúrft íst . táz iz mâre nesî. Atque ob id uideatur aliqua parte abiectus.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Mais or regarde – ce que nous avons ottroié qu’il est suffisans a soi meismes et n’a besoing ne souffraite de riens et est tres puissant et tres digne de honneur – savoir mon, se ceste chose a souffraite ou faute de noblece que elle ne se puisse donner, si que elle semble estre d’aucune partie plus vilz et plus despite.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
Consider thanne,’ quod she, ‘as we han graunted her-biforn, that he that ne hath nede of no-thing, and is most mighty and most digne of honour, yif him nedeth any cleernesse of renoun, which cleernesse he mighte nat graunten of him-self, so that, for lakke of thilke cleernesse, he mighte seme the febeler on any syde or the more out-cast?’ Glose. This is to seyn, nay; for who-sothat is suffisaunt, mighty, and reverent, cleernesse of renoun floweth of the forseyde thinges; he hath it al redy of his suffisaunce.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p.58, 20-24
But consider lest it be graunted that that needes not, is most of powre, & worthyest most honour, yet wanting estimation, which to it self it can not giue, And therfore may seeme in som parte to be lesse wourth.
