Latin 19v
- ¶ Sex sumus in factis armorum valde periti
Actus. Quos faciet quicumque magister in armis
Ensem seu dagam superabit et inde bipennem.
¶ Sum situs ipse brevis. vocor et sub nomine recto
Serpentinus adhuc penetrando cuspide doctus.
- ¶ Sum situs, et dicor crux multis vera magistris.
Nec mihi cuspis obest, cesura nec ipsa nocebit.
¶ Hic mucro mutabit statum penetrando malignum.
Nam mea membra tego validis erectus in[1] armis
- ¶ Sum mediana quondem ferri stans condita porta.
Cuspide nec noceo nimis. At sum semper inanis[2].

English 19v
¶ We are six intensely skilled acts among the deeds of armor[,]
Which whoever is a master in arms executes
Thence he [the master] will conquer sword or dagger and the double axe.
¶ I am the short position and I am referred to under the correct name
of serpentine, besides I am skilled in penetrating with the point
¶ I am the position and I am called the true cross by many masters.
Neither the [your] point is hurtful to me, nor will the cut itself harm [me]
¶ This sword point will change the spiteful stance by penetrating.
On the other hand, when upright, I cover my limbs with strong armor.
¶ I am the middle, indeed, the gate of iron standing established.
I do no little harm with the point. And I am always deceptive.
