Latin 04r
- ¶ Tu pudibundus obhoc ensem vel forte relinques
Vel prostratus humi nullo prohibente iacebis.
¶ Expedit ut terram calcato pectore pulses.
Quidque velim de te potero tentare deinde.
Italian
|
You'll lose your sword because of this grip |
[32b-a] La tua spada perderaii per questa presa |
|
You'll have to go to the ground from horseback; |
[32b-c] Da cavallo in terra te conven andar |
English 04r
¶ You, shamefaced on account of this, will either by chance abandon your sword,
or having been struck down, you will lie on the ground with nothing to prevent it.
¶ It is convenient that you thump the ground while your chest is trampled[1].
Whatever I want concerning you, I will be able to attack afterwards.
- ↑ We've rendered "terram ... pulses" as "thump the ground" in order to capture the "hit the ground" of a body falling, but also the "beating a drum" sense of pulsare. Interestingly, pulsare can also mean "stamp upon the ground," which creates a bit of thematic echo with "calcato" which means "trample" including "trampling grapes for wine"
