integer obsequio, manibus nunc obvia tela discutiens, instat gressu vultuque recedit: saepe etiam iniustis collatum viribus hostem (is vigor ingenio, tanta experientia dextrae est) ultro audax animis intratque et obumbrat et alte assilit.
Sometimes with a nod of his swift, obedient head he comes unscathed, now disperses the opposing weapons with his hands or advances with his feet while retreating with his face. Often too he engages the foe whose strength is greater than his own (so lively his wit, so practised his hand), boldly attacking him, getting inside, overshadowing, bounding at him in the air.
