Latin 5r

Page:MS Latin 11269 5r.jpg

Te galea[1] prensum teneo / qui terga revolvis.
In terram post te currendo pectore mittam.

Ut meo[2] tellurem calcato corpore tundas
Est opus . hoc faciunt contraria gesta . malignus
Tu tamen illud idem mihimet tentare cupisti.

English 5r

I maintain this capture by your helmet, since you are turning your back,
I would send [your] chest on the ground while galloping behind you.


If you were to beat the ground with a trampled corpse in this way,
The countering gestures are effective for this. The work is spiteful.[3]
Nevertheless, you want to attempt the same at myself.

  1. ↑ There is an erased note here with multiple words, but the letters are not very clear. One speculated reading of the second word is "heaume."
  2. ↑ This abbreviation can also mean "modo"
  3. ↑ The countering gestures are grammatically surrounded by spite.
