This is the counter to the three masters of the lance that finish in this play, and I want to tell you how: when the masters believe my lance to be pushed away from their persons, I give a turn to my lance and strike with its butt, since the iron in the butt is as good as in the point.

This play is taken from the play of the dagger—namely, from the first remedy master, who puts his left hand under the dagger so as to take it from the hand; similarly, this scholar puts his left hand under the right hand of the player so as to take his sword from his hand. Otherwise, he will put him in a middle bind as in the second play that is after the first remedy master of dagger that was mentioned before. And that bind is this scholar's.

[29v-b] ¶ Questo zogho e tolto del zogho dela daga çoe del primo magistro rimedio, che come ello mette la mane stancha sotto la daga per torgella de mane, per lo simile questo scolaro gli mette la mano stancha sotto la mane dritta del zugadore per trargli la spada di mano.

¶ I am not aware of any person with whom I cannot play,
If we both lead by turning dagger into dagger,
[If] I were either armored or by chance without armor.
And that movement would be pleasing, provided that the play is tight.


¶ Defending, I make this covering in armor.
I suddenly enter the Middle Key, which ends all war,
Any warlike dabbler is not strong against it.
Anyone resisting cannot hurt me.

From dagger to dagger, I don't know anyone that be;  In armor and without, I'll do him great villainy,  And fighting in the lists, that is my delight,  Because I'll defeat everyone through such tight play.	[11a-e] De daga a daga non cognoscho homo che sia In arme e sença gli farò grande vilania E de conbater in sBara aquello e mio dileto Che zaschum vinçero per tal zogho streto

¶ I bring my dagger to this cross in wrestling.
Any defense of the dagger given in the play does not hinder this.
But I will powerfully lay waste with many moves in playing.


¶ That move certainly prevails by keeping the dagger itself in the cross
in fact it can be worked above and below in armor
This lower play clearly goes to the outer bind
The middle is situated by chance under the highest.

I am the Eighth Master and I cross with my dagger, and this play is good in armor and without armor, and some of my plays are placed earlier and some later. Similar to the third previous play—that is, that he wounds the player in the hand with the point of his dagger—I could wound this man underhand just as [that student] wounded him overhand. Also, I could take his hand by the joint with my left hand and I could wound him with the right (according to that which you will find later in the ninth student of the Ninth Master, who wounds the player in the chest; abandoning my dagger, I could also do the final play).

[17r-c] ¶ L'otavo Magistro son, e incroso cum mia daga. E questo zogo e bon in arme e senç'arme. E li miei zogi sono posti alchuni denanzi alchuni di driedo. Lo zogo chi m'e denanzi zoe lo quarto zogo çoe chi fere lo zugadore in la man cum la punta di sua daga per lo simile poria ferir costuii di sotta mano, come ello lo fere di sopra. Anchora poria piglar la sua mano in la zuntura cum la mia man stancha, e cum la dritta lo poria ben ferire, segondo che trovarete dredo di mi lo nono scolaro del nono Magistro, che fere lo zugadore nel petto. Anchora poria fare Lo ultimo zogo ch'e dredo abandonando la mia daga.

In armor, this is a very strong crossing  Because it can bind from above and from below:  This goes to the low bind,  And that one from above goes to the middle.

[12a-c] In arme aquesto e un fortissimo incrosar Che desopra e desota se'po ligar Aquesto va ala ligadura sotana E quello de'sopra va ala meçana
