Latin 6v

Page:MS Latin 11269 6v.jpg

Callidus hoc ictu percussi labia duro,
Expectans reparare[1] gravi cum cuspide vulnus.

Consuetus mutare tamen, contraque referre
Cuspide pertenta, breve nunc moror omnia telo.[2][3]

Italian

With the foot, I have struck you with my javelin,
But I have another point which is even sharper than this one.

I wait in this guard with my lance shortened:
My method is to beat and to exchange thrusts.

English 6v


I thrust through the lips with the harsh strike, cleverly
expecting to renew the wound with the heavy spear tip.

Customarily, I move back and forth with the extended spear point,
But now I linger in all respects with my shortened spear.
