Quando Peri cortou umas dez braças do cipó que ia enrolando ao pescoço, embainhou a faca, e voltou-se para o escudeiro sorrindo. Aires Gomes sem trepidar puxou a espada e pôs-se em guarda, segundo as regras da nobre e liberal arte do jogo de espadão, que professava desde a mais tenra idade.

The setting

When Peri had cut some ten fathoms of the vine, which he wound about his neck, he sheathed the knife and turned to the squire smiling. Aires Gomes, without flinching, drew his sword and put himself on guard, according to the rules of the noble and liberal art of broadsword play, which he had practiced from his tenderest age.
