(p.104/#3) (Guardia di Lioncorno vs. Porta Alta di Ferro) If your enemy is set with sword in presence in a manner of porta alta di ferro, you will be in guardia di lioncorno with your right foot forward; here it will be necessary to note if he is looking at your sword hand, and if so, you will make a show of preparing an imbrocatta to the left side of his chest; and as he makes some movement to defend against the imbrocatta, you will subsequently make a sfalsata of your sword under his, beating it somewhat with the true edge of your sword towards his left side; and presently you will pass the right foot somewhat forward throwing an imbrocatta to his chest or hos sword arm, in such a way that the sword descends into porta larga di ferro or porta di ferro stretta, as you prefer.
