(p.186/#4) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #504)) The counter will be, as he beats your sword, you will not move. But then, as he thrusts, you will defend this with the false edge of your sword. And then as he turns the mandritto to your face, or the roverso to your leg, you will gather back the right foot, giving your assailant a mezzo mandritto to the sword arm; and in this you will you move into guardia d'intrare for your safety.
