¶ I, the Lynx, defeat all things born under the heavens by means of [my] discerning eyes,
to try measuring everything will be satisfying
Prudence
¶ I am swift in the course and I will turn those who appear/attack unexpectedly in circles,[5]
and they can't overcome me, the Running Tiger, using lightning.
Swiftness
- ↑ 'subitos' is problematic, meaning plural masculine things that appear or attack unexpectedly. 'subito' is an adverb meaning 'suddenly', which appears several other times in the text. 'subitos' only appears here.
- ↑ The final letters are obliterated; the likeliest candidates are "am" or "or"
- ↑ This word does not appear in any dictionary. It must be a misspelling of some word related to lightning such as fulmen or a conjugation of fulminare.
- ↑ The bottom of the page, including the elephant verse, has been cut off.
- ↑ This reading assumes 'revolvam'. The alternate reading with 'revolvor' would be: I am swift in the course and I am suddenly turned in circles. This requires a reading of 'subitos' as an error for 'subito' because there are no accusative, plural, masculine nouns in this reading that make sense.
