(p.104/#4) (Porta di Ferro Larga vs. Guardia di Lioncorno) If your enemy is set in guardia di lioncorno with his right foot forward and you are again in porta di ferro larga with your right foot forward; here you will be mindful that if he directs the point of his sword at your hand in such a way as to make you think he intends to give you an imbrocatta to the sword hand, then you will pass your right foot somewhat forward immediately beating his sword with the true edge of yours in the manner of a roverso ridoppio, somewhat towards his left side; then you will immediately give him an imbrocatta to his chest; and if he defends against the imbrocatta in some way, you will subsequently turn a tramazzone to his head or onto his sword hand that will then drop into porta di ferro stretta or porta di ferro larga, as you prefer.
