¶ Si subito nostrum ludendo vertimus ensem /
Sic capiti ut palmis ludendo nocere valemus.

¶ Quamvis me teneas manibus / quid proderitur. Hac te
Cuspide percutiam vultum scindendo madentem.

Italian

This is a cruel exchange of thrusts: A more deceptive thrust than this cannot be made in the art.  You attacked me with the point and I have given you this; And I can make more secure it by dodging out of the way.	[20b-c] Aquesto e de punta un crudelle schambiar In l'arte piu falssa punta de questa non se'po'far Tu me trasisti de punta e questa io t'o dada E piu seguro se po far schivando la strada
Because of your hilt, which I have in my hand, I will mark you with my point in your face.	[20b-d] Per tuo mantigner che io in mia man tegno Cum la punta in lo volto io te faço segno

English 15r

¶ If, in the swordplay, we suddenly turn our sword,
Thus we are strong to injure the head using the hands in the swordplay.

¶ Although you hold me in your hands, something was trodden underfoot. By
rending with this point, I will beat your dripping face.
