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 quamvis 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 hit your left shoulder
This time might be exceedingly short: although [something] having been tested [something] by so much.

✅ I strike a bargain with you[3] just as that earlier master told before.
Whoever restrains the tip with the cross can deceive with it.[4]

  1. ↑ Added later: "dixit".
  2. ↑ Added later: "con? ut."
  3. ↑ This could also be translated as "I strike you"; however, the Italian has 'strike a bargain', which is also a translation of 'ferio te', and this is the only point where these two languages meet in this reading.
  4. ↑ We are using the marginalia to influence our reading/interpretation of this couplet.
