SWORD VS. DAGGER
|
|
|
With my dagger I know how to parry cuts and thrusts:
If
one by one you come I have an infallible game:
And my scholar
will prove it:
And he'll do it according to the picture.
|
|
Proof is painted here: You can see
that I can hit you
with no problem. |
|
|
|
Here, I win over the dagger with the sword,
In that I
have turned and pushed you. |
|
If one wanted to hit my head with his sword,
I quickly
would do this parry: I would turn him with
my left hand, And hit
him on the back with the dagger. |
|
|
|
To avoid you hitting my back
I'll do this contrary
without any problem. |
|
The game is dagger against sword:
I invite the dagger
against the sword,
And I'll show through the scholar
Which
way this game can be done. |
|
|
|
In this manner does the sword defend against
the dagger:
I'll hit you with the sword:
the dagger can do nothing.
|
|
This other one is a strange case:
The dagger invites
against the sword:
The sword will do the game of the scholar
And will show that the dagger can do nothing.
|
|
|
 |
I'll hit your eye with the scabbard
And I won't stop
hitting you with the sword. |

" A crowned master with a
poleax in his hand,
who has thrown a rope tight to the cap
of the poleax, which cap is
one pound or more heavy, around the legs
of his opponent: and pulling the poleax,
he will pull the opponent to
the ground."
