(p.97/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Porta di Ferro Larga; as Patiente) If you have set yourself in coda lunga stretta with your right foot forward and your enemy is set in porta di ferro larga with his right foot forward; you will be mindful that if he plans to strike your hand with a roverso, then in that same tempo you will strike him with a stoccata trivillata, returning the sword into coda lunga stretta; or instead of the stoccata trivillata, when he strikes at your hand with a roverso, you will want to lower your point somewhat towards the ground and throw, with great speed, a rising falso to his sword hand that ends in the manner of guardia sopra braccio; and there you will immediately pull your right foot back, throwing a mezzo roverso to his sword hand that does not pass coda lunga stretta.
