Latin 4v
- ¶ Protego[1] cesura me nunc / ac cuspide forti.
Et capulo[2] faciem ferio / ne prensus hic ensis[3]
Sit mihi / sim terram nec adhuc proiectus ad imam.
¶ Teque tuum iaciam nullo prohibente caballum[4]
Cuius clune / mei pectus fremitando sedebit.
Quadrupedis nec linquo tui resonantia frena[5] /
Donec humum praeceps limosam vertice tangas.
Ista quidem armato valet optima captio / possuntque[6]
Ledere[7] non armis ullum sibi posse pavescit[8]
English 4v
¶I now protect myself by withdrawing, and from the strong point.
I hit the face with the sword hilt, so that this my very own sword would not
have been caught. Nor would I have been thrown to the farthest ground.[9]
¶ I will throw your horse; neither you nor anyone can prevent [it],
My heart will be calm because of their haunches resounding [as they hit the ground]
until you precipitously strike the muddy ground with the crown of your head.

- ↑ the hand position pictured in this technique is very strange. Comparing it to the Italian copies, we think the artist doesn't have a martial background and has drawn a hand familiar from other artwork instead of a position that makes sense with a sword or other weapon.
