ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.Uel recurrat circulum astri . quocumque micans nox pingitur.
Álde óuh hóhûr gestígenez . sélben dén hímel erréiche . íh méino daz firmamentum . dáz keméine ríng íst . állero dero ánderro stérnôn . dîe in héiterero náht skînent.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.And thilke thought renneth by the cercle of the sterres, in alle places ther-as the shyninge night is peinted; that is to seyn, the night that is cloudeles; for on nightes that ben cloudeles it semeth as the hevene were peinted with dyverse images of sterres.
