(p.195/#3) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Guardia Sottobraccio vs Guardia di Faccia) Beat the enemy's sword to your left side, passing immediately towards his right side, and you immediately throw a roverso that cuts all the way to his feet or you may thrust into his flank accompanied by your buckler and in this your right foot will follow the left as you settle into coda lunga stretta. 540 (p.195/#4) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Counter to (play #539)) The counter will be that when your enemy beats at your sword with his buckler you will not move your sword, only lowering your point a little towards the ground. But when your enemy passes to wound you with a roverso or with the point, defend with the false edge of the sword accompanied by the buckler, then wound him with a mandritto to the face or leg that ends in porta stretta di ferro while guarding your head with the buckler. Alternatively as he beats your sword with the buckler, do not move your point. Then when he comes with the roverso or thrust, pass back the right foot, skillfully throwing a rising falso to the sword hand in the manner of a montante that shall end in guardia di faccia with your buckler adroitly accompanying it.
