Latin 15v

Page:MS Latin 11269 15v.jpg

¶ In forma crucis hic nos nunc luctando manemus.
Plura sciens ludos Victrices semper habebit.

¶ Nunc tua per terram subito manus impia puntam
Protrahat. hinc feriam te vulnere protinus alto.

Italian

Here we stand crossed near the ground: And more knowledge of plays will be given.	[21a-b] Aqui stasemo noii a terra incrosadi A piu saver li zoghi serano donadi
I beat your point to the ground very quickly And in this way, I strike you without a doubt.	[21a-a] Rebati tua punta in terra ben subito E per tal modo io te fiero sença dubito

English 15v

¶ We currently linger here, fighting in the shape of a cross.
[The one] Skilled in many things will always have victorious plays.

¶ Suddenly your wicked hand drags a point
to the ground. From here I would strike you with a high wound without pause.

Notes

The top verse seems like a nice example of poor memorization (without help from rhyming words)-- a lot of the roots match up but the plurals don't and there are unexpected other words included. Some of this not matching could be explained by very poor Latin: plura would need to be spelled differently to match sciens, but the Italian suggests these should go together.
