(p.95/#4) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs Guardia di Lioncorno) If you are set in porta di ferro larga with your right foot forward and he is settled in guardia di lioncorno with the point directed at your sword hand; there you will be advised to quickly turn a rising roverso to the sword of the enemy, to bring him true edge to true edge; and there with graceful skill you will step somewhat forward with the right foot feinting a thrust to the gut, and as he goes to defend it in some way, you will push his sword aside with your true edge, and you will subsequently pass forward abandoning your feint and giving him presently a roverso traversato to the face, that does not pass coda lunga stretta; and if the enemy does anything, go to his sword hand with a mezzo mandritto that ends in porta di ferro stretta. allowing the left leg to go somewhat behind the right.
