Latin 2r

Nunc hastile gero sub aprino dente coruscans.
Utque [??] variare queam / penetrabo medullas.^[1]^[2]

¶ En venio retinens muliebrj pectore telum.
Nec vereor terram genibus contingere lentis.
Et feriam variata tamen tua lancea praedet.

I carry my lance in the Boar's Tusk: To deviate yours, I'll make mine enter.	[29a-b] Io porto mia lança a'dent de çenchiar Per svariar la tua la mia io faro intrar
Because I have a short lance, I come in the Position of the Noblewoman: I hold myself certain to beat and to wound.	[29b-b] Per curta lança che io ho in posta de dona vegno Per rebater e ferir certo io me tegno

English 2r

Now I carry the spear moving quickly underneath in the manner of the boar's tusk.
And in order that I be able to cause [yours]^[3] to diverge, I will penetrate the marrows.

¶ Lo, I come, holding back my javelin at the womanly breast.
I don't fear touching the ground due to my flexible knees.
And I would strike, having marked [you] black and blue^[4], nevertheless, your lance will lose [the fight]

↑ This pair of verses has a bracket at the end, which has been posited as indicating enjambment of the lines by Mondschein. As there is clearly a period at the end of the first line, this cannot be the case here.

↑ Variare and variata are from the same verb root, which has the distinct meanings "cause to vary, deviate" and "decorate with contrasting colors." The two verses on this page seem to deliberately use different senses of the verb.
