Source Text and Drawing
This play completes that of the scholar that is before me, who leaves his wretched dagger and wants your good [one]. That which I do to you, explain it to him. The counter of the ninth master is that, when the player has gripped [your] right hand with the dagger with [his] left hand, then immediately the player grabs his dagger near the point and drags it or pulls it towards him so strongly that [you] have to let go, or he pushes the dagger into [your] elbow to make [you] waver.
