lat 524 A.D. III,3p
Taceo quod naturae minimum, quod avaritiae nihil satis est.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
32. ITEM.
Taeco quod naturȩ minimum . quod auaritiȩ nihil satis est. Íh uuíle dés fersuîgen . dáz tero naturȩ lúzzel gnûoget . únde dero fréchi nîonêr ána gnûoge neíst. Fames únde sitis . únde nuditas . máchônt mánolichen egenum. Tia indigentiam múgen opes kebûozen . án dien únfréchên. Tîe áber fréh sínt . uuánda ín nîehtes fóllûn nedúnchet . pedíu sínt sie îo árm . únde îo dúrftîg.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Encores me tais je de ce que trop pou de chosez souffist a nature, mais a avarice nulle chose ne li souffist.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
I holde me stille, and telle nat how that litel thing suffiseth to nature; but certes to avarice y-nough ne suffiseth no-thing.
eng Elizabeth 1593 A.D. p.49, 45-47
I neede not tell you that Nature with lest, & Auarice with nothing is contented.
