Latin 13v

Page:MS Latin 11269 13v.jpg

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

Italian

I am the Short Stance and I have the sword's length;
Often I thrust the point and then return with cunning.

I am the left Stance of the True Window;
I am just as swift in this one as from the right.

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.

I make myself called the Stance of the Two-horned Anvil  
If I have enough deceit, I will not challenge it.

English 13v


I am the short stance here. And I move the sword back [to its original position].
I often threaten with the point. Yet I thenceforth return back to that place.

I am called the left position itself and the True window.
Thus swift on the right side just as I naturally am here on the left.

Behold the tailed position, I am pulled forward on the ground. I very often carry out
the strike before and after, while the strike is beaten through

I myself am certainly named by all the two-horned stance.
As falsely as you ought to attack, now I will be as cunning at you.

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