(p.108/#2) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword In Presence) If your enemy has the sword in presence with the right foot forward, you will be set against him in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward; and there you will throw a rising falso to his sword hand that goes to guardia alta; and subsequently you will pass the right foot forward, feinting another rising falso to the sword hand, and as he goes to defend himself from the falso in some way, you will presently disengage your sword under his, pushing a thrust to the right side of his face; and if he defends himself from the aforementioned thrust in some way, you will immediately retire the right foot back, giving him a pushed thrust to the sword hand or to the sword arm; or you may instead make a mandritto or a mezzo roverso, then placing yourself in coda lunga stretta.
