(p.191/#3) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Guardia Sopra Braccio vs Guardia di Faccia) Beat his sword to your left side with the rim of your buckler. Immediately step a little forward throwing a roverso to the right temple, the sword arm, or the forward leg; your roverso will not pass coda lunga stretta. Then throw a falso traversato to the sword hand that ends in sopra braccio, passing your right foot just behind the left. If it pleases you, beat his sword again with the rim of your buckler, and push your point into the side of his face over your buckler, with your left foot forward, in such a way, that no matter how he defends himself, it will be possible for you to pass with your right foot towards his left side, throwing a mandritto to his face or leg that will end in porta stretta di ferro while your buckler guards your head, and finally your left leg shall gracefully follow the right forward.
