Latin 13v

¶ Sum situs hic brevior. longumque remetior^[1] ensem.
Cuspide sepe^[2] minor. illuc tamen inde revertor(?).

¶ Laevus^[3] e^:go situs ipse vocor / Veraeque fenestrae.
Sic celer in dextra velut hac sum nempe sinistra.

¶ Protrahor in terram situs en caudatus. et ante /
Postque ago persaepe traiectis ictibus ictus^[4].

¶ Nominor a cunctis certe situs ipse^[5] bicornis.
Nec pete quam falsus / quam sim nunc callidus in te

I am the Short Stance and I hold my sword long; Often I thrust the point and then return with cunning.	[19a-a] Io son posta breve e o de spada lungeça Spesso meto punta e in lei torno in freça
I am the left Stance of the True Window; I am just as swift in this one as from the right.	[19a-b] Io son la stancha posta de vera finestra Cussi dela drita como de questa son presta
Stance of the Long Tail, I am extended to the ground Forward and backward, I always make offense: And if I step forward and enter with a downward blow, I come to the narrow play without fail.	[19a-c] Posta de coda lunga son in terra destesa Denançi e dedredo sempre io faço offesa E se passo innançi e entro in lo fendent E vegno al'streto zogho senza faliment
I make myself called the Stance of the Anvil If I have enough deceit, I will not challenge it.	[19a-d] Posta de bicornio io me faço chiamar Si io ho falsitade asaii non men domandar

↑ potentially remeatio, but written as *tior to rhyme with brevior, minor, and revertor
↑ Or "saepe" (often), which may be more likely than "sepe" (hedge or defensive barrier)
↑ More likely laevus than levus
↑ The last word seems faded
↑ Added later: "scilicet ego."
