Fiore: Dagger: 5th Master: 5th Play (Fol 38v)
5th Master — 5th Play (Fol 38v)
Section: Fiore: Dagger
Source Text and Drawing
This is a play to make you let go, except that if I advance my right foot behind your left, I could make you go to the ground without fail. And if this play is not enough for me, with others I’ll give you a taste of your own dagger. Because my heart and my eye look at nothing except taking your dagger without waiting or delay.
