Latin 02v

Page:MS Latin 11269 02v.jpg

Regia forma decet muliebris. teque mucrone[1]
Percutiens contra que furens transmittet ad umbras
Hic animus / faveant illi modo numina caeli.

Stringens membra simul, iaculum complector[2] acerbus
In medio. tardatus eris refringere[3] tandem
Vulnere letali sonipes[4] tuus ictus abibit.

Italian

I'll beat your lance with my sword, 
And I'll wound you with either point or edge. 

[30b-b] Cum la spada tua lança io rebatero
O de punta o de taglio io te feriro

At mid-lance I come, well-enclosed like this, 
So that you'll be delayed in beating my lance. 
I believe I'll wound your horse without fail; 
You'll see my play carried out hereafter. 

[31a-a] A meça lança io vegno acossi ben asserato
Che a'rebater mia lança tu sera intardato
De ferir el tuo cavallo sença fallo el'credo
Vederaii Lo mio çogho conpire aqui dedredo

English 02v

The royal, womanly form is proper. And this spirit,
striking and raging against you with the tip, sends [you] to the shadows.
Should the gods in heaven favor this method.

Drawing [my] limbs simultaneously inward, I, the Bitter One, grip the javelin
in the middle. You will have been delayed in breaking through [my guard].
In the end, your horse will depart having been struck with deadly wounds.

  1. ↑ Added later: "de la pointe".
  2. ↑ Added later: "remoror [!] jaculum".
  3. ↑ The translator appears to be using 'stringere-refringere' as a pair, as both words are associated with defending and attacking fortified gates, for rhetorical effect; however, English doesn't have a good oppositional pair that also conveys the meanings of the words.
  4. ↑ Added later: "eqqus". Probably meant to be “equus”, but the two q’s are fairly clear.
