Fiore: Dagger: 6th Master: 4th Play (Fol 16r)
6th Master — 4th Play (Fol 16r)
Section: Fiore: Dagger
Source Text and Drawing
Of the Sixth my master, his cover, I do not abandon. My left arm I turn above your right. And co-ordinating my right foot with my left arm, I turned myself to the backhand side. You are half bound, and your dagger you will say “I lost it quickly”. And this play I do so quickly that I do not fear the counter, of that I have no doubt.
