¶ Hoc operor factis, quod nunc narrando magister
Inquit. et hanc dagam proprio sub pectore figo.

¶ Manibus astringens Jaculum / brevis^: en vocor inter
Mortales / situs^:. et ni cuspis fallere tentet
Decipiam te forte Virum. meo Jupiter adsit.

¶ Sum situs en fortis. vocor et crux. nec(?) mihi quesquam
Ictus obest. nec adhuc cuspisque tricuspidis unquam.

Italian

[15a-d] Aquello che a'dito lo magistro aquello faço
La daga in lo peto t'o posta per men impaço

That which the Master has said, that I do:
I have put the dagger in your chest without trouble.

[27a-a] Posta breve son la serpentina cum la aça in mano
Se la punta non me mancha e ti faro ingano

[27a-b] Io son posta forte chiamada la crose
Colpi de azza ne punte niente mi nose

I am the Shortened Stance, the Serpent, with axe in hand;
If my point does not fail me, I will deceive you.

I am the strong stance called the Cross:
Neither blows of the axe nor thrusts can ever bother me.

English 08v

🛠️¶ This, which the master has now described, as cited, I am occupied with bringing about.
and I fix this dagger below your own chest


🛠️¶ A Javelin having been constrained by hands, lo! I am called the short position
Among mortals. And if the spear point should attempt to deceive,
I shall, as luck would have it, mislead you, the Man. If Jupiter were to aid me.


✅ ¶ Behold, I am a strong position. And I am called the cross. Neither does any
strike bother me. And neither the point of the triple-pointed [pollaxe] at any time.
