“Sed unde huic,” inquam, “tali maeror ullus obrepat ne cogitare quidem possum; quare plenum esse laetitiae, si quidem superiora manebunt, necesse est confiteri.”
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Sed huic inquam tali ullus meror unde obrepat ? ne cogitare quidem possum. Íh nemáhti sâr nîo erdénchen chád ih . uuánnân démo sólichen trûreghéit chómen sólti. Quare plenum esse lȩtitiȩ . si quidem superiora manebunt . necesse est confiteri. Fóne díu íst ze iéhenne . úbe diu êrera zála uuâr íst . táz iz fréuui fól sî.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
– Mais a ceste chose tele, dont li pourroit, dis je, venir ou courrous ou douleur, ce ne puis je mie certez neis penser. Donques nous couvient il ottroier que celle chose soit plaine de leesce, se les chosez dessus ditez sont vraiez1 .
1. According to the editor Dedeck-Héry this sentence (from "Donques nous couvient...") is a part of what Philosphy says. This does not agree with the way editors and translators interpret the Latin text. Jean must not be read this way either.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
‘But whennes ,’ quod I, ‘that any sorwe mighte comen to this thing that is swiche, certes, I may nat thinke.’
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p.58, 29-32
I can not imagine, how to such a man any sorow can happen, wherfore necessarily it must be confest, that he is full of Joye, if the forenamed remayne.
