Latin 4r

Page:MS Latin 11269 4r.jpg

Tu pudibundus obhoc ensem vel forte relinques
Vel prostratus humi nullo prohibente iacebis.[1]

Expedit ut terram calcato pectore pulses.
Quidque velim de te potero tentare deinde.

English 4r

You [are] appropriately shameful, therefore, you wil either abandon the sword by chance,
or you, prostrate[1], will lie down on the ground, restrained by nothing

It is expedient that you beat the ground while your chest is trampled underfoot.
I will be able to try whatever I would want next with regard to you.

[1] prostratus can mean struck down, exhausted, overthrown, or laid low. There is no indication in the text of image as to *why* the person is lying on the ground or how they got there.
