(p.189/#1) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Guardia Sopra Braccio) Pass with your left foot towards his right side, setting your sword into cinghiara porta stretta di ferro, inviting at an attack. Your enemy will throw a roverso to your right temple. You will immediately pass forward with your right foot, making as if to defend in guardia di testa, but you shall not let your sword touch his. Instead you will let it approach within a few inches, then throw a mandritto across his left temple; making a good defense of your head with the buckler, and your sword shall not pass porta alta di ferro. Then for your defense, pass back your right foot and extend with your sword and buckler into guardia di faccia.
