Latin 4v

Page:MS Latin 11269 4v.jpg

Protego[1] cesura me nunc / ac cuspide forti.
Et capulo[2] faciem ferio / ne prensus hic ensis[3]
Sit mihi / sim terram nec adhuc proiectus ad imam.

Teque tuum iaciam nullo prohibente caballum[4]
Cuius clune / mei pectus fremitando sedebit.
Quadrupedis nec linquo tui resonantia frena[5] /
Donec humum praeceps limosam vertice tangas.
Ista quidem armato valet optima captio / possuntque[6]
Ledere[7] non armis ullum sibi posse pavescit[8]

English 4v

I now protect myself by withdrawing, and from the strong point.
I hit the face with the sword hilt, so that this my very own sword would not
have been caught. Nor would I have been thrown to the farthest ground.[9]

Neither you nor anyone can prevent me throwing your horse,
Whose resounding haunch[10] / will settle the heart of me.

The clamor of the haunches [human and horse] hitting the ground will warm the cockles of my cold, black heart.

  1. ↑ Added later: "te juc g???et".
  2. ↑ Added later: "de la poignee".
  3. ↑ There is no enjambment bracket, but the punctuation and text indicate it.
  4. ↑ Added later: "eqquus".
  5. ↑ Added later: "te mordé de\per bride".
  6. ↑ According to Cappelli, p. 257
  7. ↑ Probably laedere
  8. ↑ Possible scribal flourish
  9. ↑ the hand position pictured in this technique is very strange. Comparing it to the Italian copies, we think the artist doesn't have a martial background and has drawn a hand familiar from other artwork instead of a position that makes sense with a sword or other weapon.
  10. ↑ find out whether this would normally be used singular or plural
