(p.110/#4) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) If your enemy is set in any guard he wants, you will be placed in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; and there you will step somewhat forward with the left foot, allowing the sword to turn as though throwing a molinetto, then throwing a roverso to his sword hand that descends into coda lunga larga; then pulling the left foot near the right and immediately passing forward with the right foot feinting an imbrocatta to the front foot, but nevertheless, you will subsequently make a half turn of the hand, pushing a thrust to his face, and if he defends this thrust in some way, then without any delay you will turn a rising roverso ridoppio to his sword arm and to his sword hand that does not go past guardia di lioncorno; and presently you will throw an imbrocatta to his face or to his chest, as you prefer, the sword then descending into porta di ferro stretta, and when you throw the imbrocatta, you will step somewhat forward with the right foot.
