lat 524 A.D. I,2c,24-27
Nunc iacet effeto lumine mentis
Et pressus gravibus colla catenis
Declivemque gerens pondere vultum
Cogitur, heu, stolidam cernere terram.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Nunc iacet effeto lumine mentis.
Táz uuíssa er ál . nû íst er uuízzelôs . nû íst er âno-uuórten des mûotes túgende.
Et pressus colla grauibus catenis.

Únde úmbe den háls kechétennotêr . táz chît mít úndrôste beháftêr.
Et gerens decliuem vultum pondere.

Únde mít téro búrdi níder-genéigtêr.
Cogitur heu cernere stolidam terram.

Síhet er úndánches ze érdo . ténchet er lêuues án dia tóubûn érda . tíu ménniskan tóube máchôt.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Helas ! or se gist, avuglee la clarté de sa pensee et son col chargié de chaenes pesans, et portanz son voult enclin pour le faiz est contrains a regarder la foIe terre.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
Allas! now lyeth he empted of light of his thought; and his nekke is pressed with hevy cheynes; and bereth his chere enclyned adoun for the grete weighte, and is constreined to looken on the fool erthe !
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.
downe lies of mindz Light bereued,
with brused Nek by overheuy Chaines.
A bowed Low, Looke! by waight bearing,
driven, alas! the Sely erthe behold.
