(p.65/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta as Patiente) If your adversary is set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward and you are set in the same way; you will stay aware that if he should want to to beat your sword towards your right side with a mezzo mandritto, to then pass somewhat with his right foot extending a thrust to your chest and throwing a roverso or falso to the face then you will make this counter: as he makes to beat your sword with the aforesaid mezzo mandritto, you will not allow him to find your sword, but you will quickly make a sfalsata of your sword under his, allowing his mezzo mandritto to go in vain; and now you will throw a mezzo mandritto to his sword arm; or if you prefer, after making the sfalsata, you may instead pass the left foot forward and push a thrust to his chest with all possible haste, the sword ending in coda lunga alta with the arm extended as far forward as possible.
