(p.194/#1) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #533)) The counter will be, as he throws the tramazzone to your head, you may push a thrust to his face under your buckler. Or, if you prefer, you may parry the tramazzone in guardia di testa, immediately responding with a mandritto feint to the head, preparing a way of wounding his sword hand. For at your feint the enemy will thrust you in the face or throw a mezzo mandritto to your sword hand. And as he does this you will wound his sword hand by throwing a rising roverso under your buckler in the manner of a montante, which you will stop in guardia di faccia for your defense.
