Neque enim est aliquid in tam breuibus uitae metis ita serum quod exspectare longum immortalis praesertim animus putet: quorum magna spes et excelsa facinorum machina repentino atque insperato saepe fine destruitur, quod quidem illis miseriae modum statuit.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Car, en si brieves bonnes de ceste vie, nulle chose n’y est si tardive que courage meismement qui n’est pas mortiex doie cuidier que elle soit longue a atendre : se elle est du nombre des choses des quiex la grant esperance et la haulte joie des choses faites est souvent destruite par fin soudaine et desesperee, ceste chose certez leur establist fin de chetiveté.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
For ther nis no-thing so late in so shorte boundes of this lyf, that is long to abyde, nameliche, to a corage inmortel; of whiche shrewes the grete hope, and the hye compassinges of shrewednesses, is ofte destroyed by a sodeyn ende, or they ben war; and that thing estableth to shrewes the ende of hir shrewednesse.
