(p.94/#2) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) If your enemy is set with the sword in coda lunga stretta with his right foot forward, you will be opposite him in coda lunga larga, but with your left foot forward; there you will feint a falso to his sword hand and as he makes some movement to defend against this falso, you will immediately pass your right foot forward feinting a thrust to the right side of his face, but with a trained mindfulness, so that as he will want to defend against this thrust, you will subsequently throw a mezzo roverso to his front leg that does not pass coda lunga stretta; and if the enemy in this tempo wants to throw some attack or even if he does not move, you will immediately throw, without any hesitation, a rising falso that beats his sword out towards his right side; and then you will strike his head with a mighty roverso while passing your right foot somewhat forward, letting your sword go into coda lunga larga; and without delay you will withdraw your right foot back throwing a mandritto to his sword hand that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga.
