¶ Serpentinus ego vocor / et sopranus, et alta
Cuspide planitiem pono mea membra sub imam.

¶ Inque situ aspecto leopardi nempe serenum
Cesuras semper et cuspidis ima refrenans

¶ Hac nunc tectura quemcumque refellere credas /
Ludere discipulos veluti quandoque videbis.

Italian

I am the Serpent, the Sovereign; I shoot great thrusts down low. I also cover against cuts and thrusts, Those strikes amount to little to me.	[25a-c] E son sonno serpentino Lo sovrano Cum grande punte me meto al'piano Anchora per covrir de taglio e de punta Aquilli colpi a'mi pocho si monta
I am the stance called the True Cross And cuts and thrusts mean nothing to me.	[25a-b] Io son posta chiamata vera crose Che a'mi tagli e punte niente nose
With this cover I believe that I can waste anyone, Following that which you will see the student do to you.	[25b-c] Per questa coverta crederia çaschun guastar Segondo che voii vederiti far li scholar

English 18r

 
✅¶ I am called the serpent, and also tall and high
with the point level, I place my limbs below it to the greatest extent.

🛠️¶ And in the position of the leopard, I truly gaze out serenely,
always restraining the deepest cuttings of the point as well.

✅¶ You currently have faith in this cover to refute anyone at any time,
just as you will see whenever the students are playing.
