Additional quotes by Wace

Por remembrer des ancessours
Li fez è li diz è li mours,
Deit l'en li livres è li gestes
E li estoires lire as festes.

Tote rien se torne en déclin,
Tot chiet, tot meurt, tot vait à fin:
Hom muert, fer use, fust porrist,
Tur font, mur chiet, rose flaistrist,
Cheval trebusche, drap viésist:
Tot ovre fet od mainz périst.

Que force sormonte vertu.
Bone est force et engins mius valt,
Là vaut engins où force falt;
Engins et ars font mainte cose
Que force commenchier ne n'ose.
