(p.105#1) (Porta di Ferro Stretta as Patiente) Remaining in porta di ferro stretta with your right foot forward; you will be mindful that if your enemy intends to throw a roverso fendente to your head, you will pass the left foot forward in a great pass making a half turn of the hand and in the same tempo, you will defend the coming cut and strike him with a thrust to the face, the sword ending in coda lunga alta with the sword arm extended as far forward as you are able; and if he defends himself by retiring himself back or traversing to wound you with a mandritto to the head or for the leg, you will subsequently pass your right foot somewhat towards his left side making a half turn of the hand, giving him a thrust to his face, your sword ending in a form of guardia di intrare, and your left leg needs to follow faithfully behind the right; and then you will retire your right foot back pushing a thrust to his sword hand setting yourself then in coda lunga stretta.
