Latin 02r

Page:MS Latin 11269 02r.jpg

Nunc hastile gero sub aprino dente coruscans.
Utque [??] variare queam / penetrabo medullas.[1][2]


En venio retinens muliebrj pectore telum.
Nec vereor terram genibus contingere lentis.
Et feriam variata tamen tua lancea praedet.

Italian

I carry my lance in the Boar's Tusk: 
To deviate yours, I'll make mine enter.

Because I have a short lance, I come in the Position of the Noblewoman: 
I hold myself certain to beat and to wound. 

English 02r

Now I carry the spear moving quickly underneath in the manner of the boar's tusk.
And in order that I be able to cause [yours][3] to diverge, I will penetrate the marrows.

Lo, I come, holding back my javelin at the womanly breast.
I don't fear touching the ground due to my flexible knees.
And I would strike, having marked [you] black and blue[4], nevertheless, your lance will lose [the fight]

  1. The second line has been over-written to darken worn-away letters. If there were annotations, they have not survived.
  2. This pair of verses has a bracket at the end, which has been posited as indicating enjambment of the lines by Mondschein. As there is clearly a period at the end of the first line, this cannot be the case here.
  3. The illegible letters could conceivably form tuam, which would support this reading.
  4. Variare and variata are from the same verb root, which has the distinct meanings "cause to vary, deviate" and "decorate with contrasting colors." The two verses on this page seem to deliberately use different senses of the verb.
