¶ 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 ante magister.
Qui cruce mucronem retinet / 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 will 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 cleverly holding the sword now in the middle of the sword
 as in a cross, I will certainly thrust through your left shoulder
 This situation might be exceedingly brief, however with great expressing of approbation.
