Latin 14v

Page:MS Latin 11269 14v.jpg

In medio nunc ense tenens ego callidus ensem
Ceu cruce / percutiam laevum tibi nempe lacertum
Sit nimis hoc tempus breve quaque uis tanta probando


Te ferio velut ille prior tulit[1] ante magister.
Qui cruce mucronem retinet /[2] quo fallere possit.

Italian

By crossing at mid-sword, I will strike your left arm;
I will do this quickly because time is short.

[19b-c] Per incrosar a'meça spada el braço stancho te feriro
Perche lo tempo si e curto ben presto io Lo faro

From the Master who crosses at mid-sword,
I strike you a bargain with that which he has said. 

[19b-d] Per lo magistro che incrosa a'meça spada
De quello che l'a dito de'quello te'faço derada

English 14v

I, the Clever One, currently holding the sword in the middle of the sword
 as in a cross, I will certainly thrust through your left shoulder
However exceedingly short this time might be, everything having been tested with such strength.

I strike a bargain with you just as that earlier master told before.
Whoever retains the point with the cross is therefore able to deceive.[3]
