Fiore: Dagger: 9th Master: 7th Play (Fol 18v)
9th Master — 7th Play (Fol 18v)
Section: Fiore: Dagger
Source Text and Drawing
I will not abandon the grip of my master so that this player saw that he could not leave the grip. And he leant down with the dagger towards the ground. And I immediately will grip his hand with my left hand between his legs. And when his hand has been well secured, I will pass behind him. As you can see, he cannot dismount [from my grip] without falling. And this play that is after me I can do. The right hand leaves the dagger, and I will come to grab him by the foot to put him completely on the ground, and I will not forget to take his dagger from him.
