Latin 17v

Page:MS Latin 11269 17v.jpg

Ense tuo tutum[1] facit hec[2] captura. fit ergo
Nempe meus[3] liber. tuus at sub carcere restat.
Efficit atque ensis ludum qui quartus habetur.[4]
Arte[5] bipennifera / facile ceu quisque videbit.

Inferiore quidem nexura stratus abibis,
Atque tuum feriam letali vulnere pectus.

Italian

This catch makes me safe from your sword:
Mine is free and yours is imprisoned.
And the fourth play which is in the art of the poleax, 
Troubles the sword in armor with this play.

[Not in PD]

English 17v

 
This seizing makes <me> safe from your sword. Therefore, it happens
that mine <that is [my]sword> is truly free. But on the other hand, yours remains imprisoned.

  1. Added later: "scilicet me".
  2. Likely haec
  3. Added later: "scilicet ensis".
  4. The period after habetur may be a later addition, since it overlaps the final stroke of the r.
  5. There's a light mark above Arte that looks like the abbreviation for haec.
