(p.174/#3) (Sword vs. Pole Arms; Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward as Patiente) But if when you are set in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward, and he thrusts a partisan to your chest, you will pass with your right foot forward, and drive the true edge of your sword into it pushing quickly towards his right side, beating it towards the ground; and your left leg will turn behind your right (in the fashion of an inquartata). Then without delay you will pass with the right foot forward giving him a roverso to the face, or a thrust to the chest. And as above when you have defended the enemy's attack, you will make a presa of your left hand onto the haft of his weapon and you must not in any way let go.
