Rara si constat sua forma mundo,
   Si tantas variat vices,
Crede fortunis hominum caducis,
   Bonis crede fugacibus.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Si mundo constat rara sua forma . si uariat tantas uices. Crede . fortunis hominum caducis . bonis crede fugacibus . constat et positum est ȩterna lege . ut nihil genitum constet.
Úbe állero uuérlte únstâte íst íro bílde . únde úbe sî síh ében-díccho uuéhselôt. Sô hábe díh ze múrgfârên sâldôn . únde ze únstâtemo gûote dero ménniskôn . sô íst táz kuís . únde fásto gesézzet . táz nîeht kebórnes . stâte nesî.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Se la forme du monde est ainsi a tart estable, se elle se trestorne par tant de muances, te veulz tu fier es fortunes muables des hommes, veulz tu mettre ta creance es biens fuitis ?
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
Yif the forme of this worlde is so selde stable, and yif it turneth by so many entrechaunginges, wolt thou thanne trusten in the tomblinge fortunes of men? Wolt thou trowen on flittinge goodes?
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D.
If rarely stedy be the worldz forme,
   If turnes so many hit makes,
Belive slippar mens Luckes,
   Trust that sliding be ther goodz!
