Si beatitudo est summum naturae bonum ratione degentis nec est summum bonum quod eripi ullo modo potest, quoniam praecellit id quod nequeat auferri, manifestum est quoniam ad beatitudinem percipiendam fortunae instabilitas adspirare non possit.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Si beatitudo est summum bonum . naturȩ ratione degentis. Úbe sâlighéit íst táz fórderôsta ménniskôn gûot. Suspensio. Nec est summum bonum . quod eripi ullo modo potest.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Se beneurté est li souverain bien de nature vivant par raison, ne ce n’est pas souverain bien qui par aucune maniere peut estre tolu – car miex vaut et plus digne chose est ce qui ne puet estre tolu – c’est chose aperte que la muableté de fortune ne puet ataindre a beneurté recevoir.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
Yif blisfulnesse be the sovereyn good of nature that liveth by resoun, ne thilke thing nis nat sovereyn good that may be taken105 awey in any wyse, (for more worthy thing and more digne is thilke thing that may nat ben taken awey); than sheweth it wel, that the unstablenesse of fortune may nat atayne to receiven verray blisfulnesse.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.
Yf happynes be the greatest good of nature lyuing by reason, nor hit the greatest good that may be taken away, the cause hit doth exceede that may not so, It is manifest, that fortunes change can not attayn to the getting of bliss.
