Ex quibus omnibus bonorum quidem potentia, malorum uero minime dubitabilis apparet infirmitas ueramque illam Platonis esse sententiam liquet solos quod desiderent facere posse sapientes, improbos uero exercere quidem quod libeat, quod uero desiderent explere non posse.
ger Notker ca. 950-1022 A.D.
Ex quibus onibus apparet bonorum potentia . malorum uero indubitabilis infirmitas. An állên dîen rationibus . skînet tero gûotên máht . únde dero úbelôn guíssíu únchráft. Et liquet ueram esse illam platonis sententiam . solos sapientes posse facere quid desiderent. Únde skînet . táz platonis réda uuâríu íst . tér-dir chád . éinen die uuîsen múgen getûon . dáz sie uuéllen. Inprobos uero exercere quidem quod libeat . quod uero desiderent . explere non posse. Únde die úbelen múgen íro mûot-uuíllen tûon . únde ín dóh nemúgen fólle-bríngen. Sîe âhtent tero gûotôn . álso sie uuéllen . sîe neuerâhtent íro îo dóh nîeht.
(fra Simon de Freine ca. 1189-1200) fra Jean de Meun ca. 1300
Et de toutez ces chosez apert il que li bon sont certainement puissant et li mauvais sans doubte sont non puissant. Et est clere chose que celle sentence de Platon est vraie qui dit que li seul sage peuent faire ce que il desirent et li mauvais hanter ce que il leur plaist, mais ce que il desirent, c’est venir a souverain bien, il n’ont pooir de acomplir.
eng Chaucer 1343-1400 A.D.
and of alle thise thinges it sheweth wel, that the goode folke ben certeinly mighty, and the shrewes douteles ben unmighty. And it is cleer and open that thilke opinioun of Plato is verray and sooth, that seith, that only wyse men may doon that they desiren; and shrewes mowen haunten that hem lyketh, but that they desiren, that is to seyn, to comen to sovereign good, they ne han no power to acomplisshen that.
