Fiore: Dagger: 5th Master: 4th Play (Fol 38v)
5th Master — 4th Play (Fol 38v)
Section: Fiore: Dagger
Source Text and Drawing
In this way I want to hurl you to the ground before the dagger gets close to me. And if your dagger would be half way to striking me, I would leave the grip and would follow your dagger. That you would not be able to offend in that way, and with the plays of the remedies I would treat you like a peasant.
