Latin 5v

Page:MS Latin 11269 5v.jpg

Crure simul stafile levans / te vertet ad imum
Hec mea dextra potens. nec erit quae molliat artus.[1][2]

Aspice quam forti teneo tua[3] colla lacerto
Qui modo per terram frustra conatus inermem[4]
Spargere[5] tentabas. sed te contraria vincunt .[6]

English 5v


Lifting by the leg and also by the stirrup[7], this, my strong right [hand],
will turn you to the farthest [the ground], nor will there be anything which would enfeeble [my] limb [arm].




Observe how I hold your neck with my strong upper arm

  2. Enjambment bracket
  3. Added later: "pro tui".
  4. Added later: "scilicet".
  5. or 'Si pargere', but Rebecca says there is a scribal practice for separating the first letter of a line in this manner.

  7. stafile is probably a form of staffa, listed in DMLBS meaning "stirrup" and borrowed from German
