¶ Primus ego dagae cautus^[1] vocor ipse magister.
Cumque manu leva pretento tollere dagam.

¶ Circum nempe tuum dagam convolvo lacertum.
Nec perdens illam miserum te pectore tundam.

I am the First Master of the Dagger, full of guile, And with my left hand I will wind the dagger around your arm, And truth to tell I can make many other plays, And my students will do them cunningly.	[6a-e] Magistro primo son de daga pieno de ingano Et cum man stancha torote la daga de mano E asaii altri zoghi io posso far inveritade E li mie scholari li farano cum falsitade
If I make a turn around your arm with my dagger, I will strike you in the chest, and it will not be taken from me.	[6a-f] Cum mia daga intorno tuo braço faro volta E in lo peto te feriro, e non me sera tolta.

¶ I am called the first master of the dagger.
You lift with your hand and extended [arm] to steal the dagger.
