Chaucer - Boethius
(_Chaucer's Boethius_, bk. iv. pr. 6, p. 134. )
V. THE PART IS DERIVED FROM THE WHOLE, THE IMPERFECT FROM THE PERFECT.
Wel may men knowe, but it be a fool,
That every partye dyryveth from his hool.
For nature hath nat take his bygynnyng
Of no partye ne cantel of a thing,
But of a thing that parfyt is and stable,
Descendyng so, til it be corumpable.
(_Knightes Tale_, vol. ii. p. 92. )
