Latin 36v

¶ Non cognosco hominem cum quo non ludere possem,
Si dagam in dagam vertendo ducimus ambo,
Armatus vel sim vel forte carentibus armis.
Et placet iste modus, sit strictus dummodo ludus.

¶ Hanc ego tecturam facio munitus in armis
Et subito in mediam clavem quae terminat omne
Bellum, nec contra valet ullus bellica tractans,
Intrabo. nec obesse potuit mihi quisque reluctans

Italian

From dagger to dagger, I don't know anyone that be;  In armor and without, I will do him great villainy,  And fighting in the lists, that is my delight,  Because I will defeat everyone through such tight play.	[11a-e] De daga a daga non cognoscho homo che sia In arme e sença gli farò grande vilania E de conbater in sBara aquello e mio dileto Che zaschum vinçero per tal zogho streto
Being armored, I want to take this cover  And I want to quickly enter into the middle lock [key]—  that which is the ending of battle,  And there is no defense that goes against it.	[11b-e] Siando arma questa coverta voio pigliar E subito in la chiave mezana voio intrar Aquella ch'e finimento de bataiia E contra lei non ne deffesa che gli uaiia

English 36v

 
¶ I am not aware of any human with whom I cannot play,
If we both lead by turning dagger into dagger,
[If] I were either armored or by chance without armor.
And that movement would be pleasing, provided that the play is tight.
