Latin 5v
- ¶ Crure simul stafile levans / te vertet ad imum
Hec mea dextra potens. nec erit quae molliat artus.[1]
¶ Aspice quam forti teneo tua[2] colla lacerto /
Qui modo per terram frustra conatis[3] inermem[4]
Spargere[5] tentabas. sed te contraria vincunt .
English 5v
¶ Lifting by the leg and also by the stirrup[6], this, my strong right [hand],
will turn you to the farthest [the ground], nor will there be anything which would enfeeble [my] limb [arm].
¶ Observe how I hold your neck with my strong upper arm
by which means the efforts [are] in vain,
you attempted to throw the unarmed one to the ground, but the counters conquer you
- ↑ To the right of the verse are a bracket, a +, and some erased words. The binding did not open wide enough to reveal these with ultraviolet photography.
- ↑ Added later: "pro tui".
- ↑ This can also be read "conatus"
- ↑ Added later: "scilicet".
- ↑ This separation between the initial letter and remainder of the first word of the line is inconsistent with the rest of the text.
- ↑ stafile is probably a form of staffa, listed in DMLBS meaning "stirrup" and borrowed from German
