(p.190/#4) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #519)) The counter will be, as he beats your sword with the rim of his buckler, do not move. But when he throws the roverso to your right temple, you may defend in guardia d'intrare, immediately giving him a roverso to the leg. Or you may, when he beats at your sword, you may evade this offense, not letting his buckler touch your point, and instead throwing a roverso to the front leg that shall not go into coda lunga larga, defending your head with your buckler. Directly thereafter, for your defense, pass your right foot back and throw a rising falso to his sword hand that you will stop in guardia di faccia, accompanying it with your buckler. This will secure you from any mandritto.
