Latin 2r
- ¶ En venio retinens muliebrj pectore telum.
Nec vereor terram genibus contingere lentis.
Et feriam variata tamen tua lancea praedet.
Italian
|
I carry my lance in the Boar's Tusk: |
[29a-b] Io porto mia lança a'dent de çenchiar |
|
Because I have a short lance, I come in the Position of the Noblewoman: |
[29b-b] Per curta lança che io ho in posta de dona vegno |
English 2r
Now I carry the spear moving quickly underneath in the manner of the boar's tusk.
And in order that I be able to cause [yours][3] to diverge, I will penetrate the marrows.
¶ Lo, I come, holding back my javelin at the womanly breast.
I don't fear touching the ground due to my flexible knees.
And I would strike, having marked [you] black and blue, nevertheless, your lance will lose [the fight]
- ↑ The second line has been over-written to darken worn-away letters. If there were annotations, they have not survived.
- ↑ This pair of verses has a bracket at the end, which has been posited as indicating enjambment of the lines by Mondschein. As there is clearly a period at the end of the first line, this cannot be the case here.
- ↑ The illegible letters could conceivably form tuam, which would support this reading.
