Latin 38v

Page:MS Latin 11269 38v.jpg

Vt mihi prensuras lucrer, sum nempe paratus.
Si te non fallo poterit prodesse parumper.

Querito mutare[1] quo te confallere possim.
Hinc te per terram properanti pectore vertam.

Si non ingenio vinces quidem credere possum
viribus ipse[2] meis patieris pessima multa.

En venio tensis cupiens superare lacertis.[3]
Ut mihi prensuras lucrer ludendo potentes.

Italian

I am prepared to gain the holds; 
If I don't deceive you, you'll have a bargain. 

[4a-a] Per guadagnar le prese e son aparichiato,
Se non te ingano, tu harai bon merchato.

I seek to make a change to the fight, 
And with that, I'll make you go to the ground. 

[4a-b] De pugna mutacion cercho de'fare
E cum quella in terra ti faro andare.

If you don't defeat me with cunning, I believe 
That I'll do bad and worse to you with my strength. 

[4a-c] Se per inçegno non me vinceraii zo creço
Che cum mia força ti faro male e peço.

I come with my arms well-extended like this 
In order to gain holds in every way. 

[4a-d] Cum li braci vegno acusi ben destese
Per guadagnar in ogni modo le prese.

English 38v

 
✅ I am certainly prepared that I, myself, gain the grasps.[4]
This will be beneficial for a short time, if I don't deceive you

✅ I seek to shift to a place[5] from which I would be able to deceive you completely.
From here, I will, by hastening, turn you by the chest through the ground.

✅ If you will not succeed with a clever trick, I can indeed believe
[that] you yourself will suffer much the worse[6] due to my strength.

✅ Behold, I come, seeking to overcome [you] with extended arms;
In order that I, myself, gain powerful grasps through wrestling play.

  1. ↑ Added later: "pro".
  2. ↑ Added later: "scilicet tu".
  3. ↑ It looks like the period maybe was changed to a slash/comma.
  4. ↑ This line and the last line of the 4th couplet share an identical fragment in both the Latin and the Italian; however, it is not possible to render the two identically in fluent English.
  5. ↑ 'muto' can mean simply to change/shift, or to change/shift to/from a location. Due to 'hinc' in the following line, a change of location seemed apt.
  6. ↑ Although 'multa pessima' are plural in Latin, much is singular in English. English also uses a comparative where Latin uses a superlative.
