| <poem>We are three players that wish to strike this Master. One would strike with the point, another the edge, and another wants to throw his sword against the aforesaid Master, so that it will be a great feat indeed if this Master is not killed. Would that God made him very crafty.</poem>

| <poem>'''[2]''' <em>Whether throwing the sword or striking cuts and thrusts, 
Nothing will trouble me because of the guard that I hold.
Come one by one whoever wants to go against me
Because I want to contend with them all.
And whoever wants to see covers and strikes,
Taking the sword and binding without fail,
Watch what my Scholars know how to do: 
If you don't find a counter, they have no equal.</em></poem>

You are bad, and of this art know little. You do things which have no place in words. Come then, one by one, who can do it. And even if you were one hundred, I would wound you all, because of this guard, which is a good and powerful thing. I advance (''acresso'') the foot which is in front a little out of the way and with the left I pass traversing. And in this passing cross beating the swords I find uncovered and surely I will make injuries. And if a spear or sword is thrown at me, all will be beaten away, as I said, passing out of the way, as you will see in my plays hereafter. I pray you to look at them. And even with a sword one-handed I will do my art, as is shown in these papers.
| 
<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

You are wicked and of this art you know little; you do things that words cannot describe. Come one by one whoever knows what to do and is able, and even if you are a hundred I will waste all of you with this guard (which is so good and strong). I advance my forward foot slightly out of the way, and with my left I step to the side. I cover myself during that step, beating your swords and finding you uncovered, and I will be certain to strike you. And whether lance or sword is thrown at me, I will beat them all just as I have said, stepping out of the way according to that which you see in my plays hereafter. Watch what I show to you, and with the sword in one hand I will make my art.

To defend myself from you from each neglect and shame.</span></poem>

What the master said I have done well; that is I passed out of the way making a good cover. And I find the player uncovered, so that I surely want to put a thrust in his face. And with my left hand I want to try to make your sword go to the ground if I can.

''[In the Paris, the Scholar wears a crown.]''
| <poem><br/><br/></poem>

I have done that which the Master has said, that is, I stepped out of the way making a good cover. And I found the player uncovered such that I certainly want to thrust my point in his face. And I want to try this with my left hand, to see if I can make your sword hit the ground.

Because of the good cover that I knew to make.</em></poem>

In everything I have found you uncovered, and I surely have injured you in the head. And if I want to pass forward with the rear foot, I can do a lot of ''gioco stretti'' against you; that is binds, breaks and wrestling.
| <poem><br/><br/></poem>

I have found you completely uncovered and I have struck you in the head for certain. And if I want to step forward with my rear foot, I can make many narrow plays against you (that is, the binds and breaks of grappling).

| <poem>'''[7]''' <em>Because of the hand that I have put beneath your hilt,
If your sword doesn't hit the ground, call me feeble.</em>
&nbsp;</poem>

I can injure you with a cut (''taglio'') and a thrust. Also, if I advance (''acresco'') the forward foot, I can bind you in ''ligadura mezana'', which is drawn before, at the 3rd play of the 1st Master, Dagger Remedy. Also, I can do this play which is after me. And in this way I can injure and also bind you.

Your sword and your arm are well entrapped, and you cannot free yourself, that you don't get hurt by my way, because you seem to know little of this play.

| <poem>'''[17]''' <em>In order to wound you again with this, my point,
I have added my left hand to the sword.</em></poem>

This is a play in which, wanting to be armoured wants to put a thrust. When someone delivers thrusts and cuts, you do the cover, and immediately put this to him in the way that is drawn.

''[The Getty image resembles the Pisani-Dossi, including the lack of armor.]''
| <poem><br/><br/></poem>

This is a play in which he who wants to thrust the point wants to be armored. When someone strikes at you with the point, or with the edge, make the cover and immediately thrust this in the way that is depicted.
