G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 16,1
ὁ πρόεδρος τῆς ἐμῆς βασιλείας καὶ ἀρχιστράτηγος τῆς ἐμῆς δυναστείας, παίγνιον μειρακίων σεαυτὸν καταστήσας, οὐ μόνον τῆς ἡμετέρας φιλίας καὶ παρρησίας μακρὰν λήθην πεποιηκώς, ἀλλὰ καὶ αὐτῆς κατεξαναστὰς τῆς φύσεως, καὶ μηδὲ τῶν ἰδίων τέκνων οἶκτον λαβών, πλοῦτόν τε καὶ πᾶσαν τὴν τοῦ βίου περιφάνειαν εἰς οὐδὲν λογισάμενος, τὴν τοσαύτην ἀδοξίαν τῆς περιβλέπτου προέκρινας (3) δόξης, ἵνα τί σοι γένηται;
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 447d1-448a1
Siccine tu, qui regno meo praeeras, atque in copias meas imperium militare obtinebas, teipsum puerorum ludibrium effecisti, (448a,1) ac non modo meae amicitiae memoriam ex animo procul ejecisti, verum etiam adversus ipsam naturam impetum fecisti, ac ne tuorum quidem filiorum miseratione affectus, tum opes, tum omnem vitae splendorem pro nihilo putasti, tantamque ignominiam tam luculenta gloria potiorem et praestabiliorem habuisti?
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
To what end hath the president of my kingdom, and chief commander of my realm made himself the laughingstock of boys, and not only forgotten utterly our friendship and fellowship, but revolted against nature herself, and had no pity on his own children, and cared naught for riches and all the splendour of the world, and chosen ignominy such as this rather than the glory that men covet?
Keyser & Unger p. 4,1
þu vesall fyrstr af minum allum lendom oc landzmonnum oc hofðingium gerer af þer latr oc spott. sveinum glyara. vitrum monnum briostbragð. ollum þinum vinum oc felagum hugarhvarf. glœymdr af vinatto allra þinna felaga oc allre þinni sælo. oc næsta virðizt mer sem þu haver natturunni glœymt oc tekit imot skom oc hað.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 7,1
Du, Elendige! er den förste af mine Vasaller og Undersaatter og Hövdinger, som gjör dig til Latter og Spot, til Legebold for Drenge, til Væmmelse for vise Mænd, til Uvilje for alle dine Venner og Stalbrödre, forladt af alle dine Bekjendtes Venskab og hele din Lykke. Ja næsten formoder jeg, at du har forglemt den naturlige menneskelige Fölelse og faaet Skam og Spot til Gjengjæld.
