lat 524 A.D. IV,3pQuod si extrinsecus accepto laetaretur, poterat hoc uel alius quispiam uel ipse etiam qui contulisset auferre; sed quoniam id sua cuique probitas confert, tum suo praemio carebit, cum probus esse desierit.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300Mais se aucuns bons s’esjoist d’aucun autre bien que il eust pris dehors, certez ou aucuns autres ou cil neis qui le li eust donné le li peust tollir ; mais pour ce que a chascun sa propre proece li donne ce loier, lors faudra il a ce loier avoir quant il delaissera a estre bons.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.But yif that any wight reioyse him of goodnesse that he hadde take fro with-oute (as who seith, yif that any wight hadde his goodnesse of any other man than of him-self), certes, he that yaf him thilke goodnesse, or elles som other wight, mighte binime it him. But for as moche as to every wight his owne propre bountee yeveth him his mede, thanne at erst shal he failen of mede whan he forleteth to ben good.
