(p.115/#2) (Coda Lunga Alta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any; as Patiente) Your enemy being found in any guard he wants, you will be placed in coda lunga alta with the left foot forward, in the mode of guardia di lioncorno, in such a way that your point menaces his face; and if he throws some attack to beat aside your sword in some away, you will be advised to withdraw your sword with dexterity, making a molinetto outside of the arm, then immediately passing somewhat forward with the right foot, throwing a roverso traversato to his sword arm and to his front leg, that will then descend into coda lunga larga; and then you will immediely throw a rising falso traversato to his sword hand; or if you prefer, instead of attacking him with the aforementioned roverso, you may feint a roverso to his right temple, and as goes to defend himself from this in some way, you will immediately turn a mandritto fendente to his face, or to his sword hand; or rather than these cuts, you may simply throw a rising falso traversato to the sword hand, that goes in the manner of guardia sopra braccio; and then you will immediately throw a rising roverso to his sword hand, that will end in guardia alta.
