(p.139/#3) (Coda Lunga Larga vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) Finding yourself against your enemy, you being in coda lunga larga with the left foot forward, and he in coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward, you will be able to throw a rising falso traversato to his sword hand, and passing forward with your right foot, you will then be able to turn a rising roverso ridoppio that ends in guardia di testa, striking him subsequently with a great fendente to the head, that descends into porta di ferro stretta; but if should think to wound you with some blow to your head, you will change into guardia di testa throwing presently a mandritto tondo to the leg, or to the face, or to the sword hand; and then you will immediately withdraw your right foot back, striking his sword hand with a roverso that descends into coda lunga larga.
