(p.197/#2) (Sword and Large Buckler) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) Finding your enemy set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will also be able to set yourself in coda lunga stretta, but with your left foot forward; and there you will push a punta trivillata at him, stepping somewhat forward with your left foot, then gathering it back immediately next to the right, and allowing the sword to go into coda lunga lunga you will pass immediately with the right foot forward pushing at him an imbrocatta to the face, after that you will be able to pull your right foot back next to the left, but because your sword will have from turned to your left side, you will be able to renew now with an imbrocatta roversa to the face passing in this same tempo with your right foot forward, and allowing your sword to go into coda lunga lunga, you will make without delay a feint of pushing another imbrocatta to the face, not allowing your sword to pass guardia di lioncorno, and as you throw this imbrocatta feint, note that as soon as goes to defend himself as he wishes, you will immediately pass forward with your left foot, making in this moment a half turn of the hand and next pushing an underhanded punta ferma to his chest pushing your buckler as far forward as possible in defense of your head, and withdrawing then the left foot back, you will bring the sword and buckler together into guardia di faccia for your defense, and note that these imbrocatte need to be made with the greatest speed because only the last will go to strike, the others simply go to disconcert him, creating in their tempi the opportunity to strike him with the final imbrocatta.
