Latin 06v

Page:MS Latin 11269 6v.jpg

Callidus hoc ictu percussi labia duro,
Expectans reparare[1] gravi cum cuspide vulnus.

Consuetus mutare tamen, contraque referre
Cuspide pertenta, breve nunc moror omnia telo.

Italian

I've wounded you with the foot of my javelin,
Because I have that point even sharper than the other one.

I wait in this guard with my lance shortened:
My method is to beat and to exchange thrusts.

English 06v


I, the Clever One, thrust through the lips with the harsh strike,
expecting to renew the wound with the heavy spear point.

Customarily, I move back and forth with the extended spear point,
But now I linger in all respects with my shortened spear.

  1. Added later: "reparer renouvelir".
