Latin 18r

Page:MS Latin 11269 18r.jpg

Serpentinus ego vocor / et sopranus, et alta
Cuspide planitiem pono mea membra sub imam.

Inque situ aspecto leopardi nempe serenum
Cesuras semper et cuspidis ima refrenans

Hac nunc tectura quemcumque refellere credas /
Ludere discipulos veluti quandoque videbis.

Italian

I am the Raised Serpent,
I shoot great thrusts down low.
I also cover against cuts and thrusts,
Those strikes amount to little to me.

I am the stance called the True Cross
And cuts and thrusts mean nothing to me.

With this cover I believe that I can waste anyone, 
Following that which you see the Scholar do.

English 18r

 
I am called the serpent, and also tall and high
with the point level, I place my limbs below it to the greatest extent.
