Si me rolandus[1] peditem pulicanus[2] et asper
Fraxinea[3] peterent hasta spectando morarer /[4]
Dextraque vel iaculum teneat vel turbida clavam[5].
Atque repercussis feriam furibundior[6] hastis./
Quamprimum hoc actu retraham capita alta prementum.[7]


Nunc secat ista tuum caput amplo vulnere mestum[8]
Lancea. meque movet tum:idi cautela magistri.[9]

English 6r


If Roland, Pulicanus, and the Rude one were to attack me, on foot,
with spears made of ash, I, having observed, would have delayed,
and he holds either the javelin on the right side or the club in confusion.
I would strike more furiously, by causing the spears to rebound.
As soon as possible, I would pull back [withdraw] these heads, pressing them higher with this action.
