lat 524 A.D. I,6pSed quoniam firmioribus remediis nondum tempus est et eam mentium constat esse naturam, ut quotiens abiecerint veras falsis opinionibus induantur ex quibus orta perturbationum caligo verum illum confundit intuitum, hanc paulisper lenibus mediocribusque fomentis attenuare temptabo, ut dimotis fallacium affectionum tenebris splendorem verae lucis possis agnoscere.

(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300Mais pour ce que li temps n’est pas encores venus aus plus fermez remedes et la nature des pensees est tele que toutez les fois que elles gettent les vraies opinions elles se vestent des fausses des quiex nest l’occurté de perturbacions confundans ycelui vrai regart, je assaierai a atenuraier la un petit par norrissemens soués et moiens, si que, les tenebres des decevans desiriers ostees, tu puissez cognoistre la resplendisseut de vraie lumiere. »
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.But for as moche as it is nat tyme yit of faster remedies, and the nature of thoughtes deceived is this, that as ofte as they casten awey sothe opiniouns, they clothen hem in false opiniouns, of which false opiniouns the derkenesse of perturbacioun wexeth up, that confoundeth the verray insighte : and that derkenesse shal I assaye som-what to maken thinne and wayk by lighte and meneliche remedies ; so that, after that the derkenesse of deceivinge desiringes is don awey, thou mowe knowe the shyninge of verray light.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.but because the tyme is not yet for stronger remedyes, & that the nature of the myndes is such, that when they haue cast away the true, are indued with false opinion,, by which a springing darknes of woe confoundes that true sight, I will assay a while therfore with lenitiues, & meane fomentations to skant them, that darknes of deceauing affection remoouid, the shyne of true light mayst obtayne.”
