Latin 40v

¶ In terram tendes tristi confusus honore.
Hoc quia sub laevo teneo^[1] caput ipse^[2] lacerto.

¶ Aure sed hac digitum teneo luctando sinistra
Prensuram ut perdas qua me superare tenebas.

Because I have positioned my head under your arm, I'll make you go to the ground with little trouble.	[5a-a] Per la testa che io o posta soto el tuo braço In terra ti faro andare cum poco mio impaço
Because I hold my thumb under your left ear, I see that the hold that you had fails you.	[5a-b] Per lo dedo che io te tegno soto la rechia stancha. Veço che la presa che tu avivi te mancha

¶ You, the Disorderly One, will aim toward the ground with sorrowful honor.
Because I hold this head under the left^[3] shoulder.

↑ Added later: "+ posuj".
↑ Added later: "scilicet ego".
↑ No Italian copy mentions left or right in this technique. The images in all manuscripts consistently show the head under the right shoulder. Interestingly, the Getty illustration shows the opponent's legs swapped, but the Pisani Dossi has the same body position shown here.
