O leuem nimium manum
Nec potentia gramina,
Membra quae ualeant licet,
Corda uertere non ualent!
Intus est hominum uigor
Arce conditus abdita.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
O leuem nimium manum . nec potentia gramina . quę licet ualeant uertere membra . non ualent corda.
Iâ uuîo héuig táz uuás. Uuáz kemáhtôn sâr díu chríuter . únde díu gífthánt . tíu dien líden táretôn . sínne nemáhtôn ?
Intus est hominum uigor . abdita arce conditus.
Ínne líget tiu máht. Târ sínt tîefo gebórgen . ménnisken chréfte.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
O certes, je di que ceste main de ceste deesse est trop vilz et trop foible ne ses herbez ne sont mie puissans ; que ja soit ce que elles puissent muer les membrez du corps, toutevois ne puent elles muer les cuers. Dedens est reposte la vigueur des hommes en la secree tour de leur cuer, c’est la force de raison.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
O overlight hand (as who seyth, O! feble and light is the hand of Circes the enchaunteresse, that chaungeth the bodyes of folkes in-to bestes, to regard and to comparisoun of mutacioun that is maked by vyces); ne the herbes of Circes ne ben nat mighty. For al-be-it so that they may chaungen the limes of the body, algates yit they may nat chaunge the hertes; for with-inne is y-hid the strengthe and vigor of men, in the secree tour of hir hertes; that is to seyn, the strengthe of resoun.
