(p.68/#1) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Sword in Presence ) If your adversary is in guard with the right foot forward with the sword in presence, and you are settled in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward; there you will pass forward with the right foot in a great pass traversing his left side, throwing a roverso to his sword hand that ends in coda lunga larga leaving yourself uncovered; thus will he be provoked into throwing some attack and when he does, you will pull the left foot close to the right throwing a mandritto to the sword hand and to his arm that will end in porta di ferro larga. Or if you rather, in lieu of this mandritto, you may instead push a thrust to his chest, the sword going to guardia di intrare.
