(p.199/#3) (Sword and Small Buckler) (Guards Unstated) Make a gran passo of the right foot forward, lift a rising montante, and transforming it into a thrust to the right of the sword hand, accompanying it with your buckler, stopping him from making any cut for fear of wounding his hand. You may in that moment, with utmost skill, fall upon his foremost foot with a cut in the manner of a fendente, letting your buckler guard your head. And then you shall gather the right foot near the left, repairing into guardia di faccia. But if it does not please you, after thrusting at his hand, you may throw a cut at the buckler arm or you may turn a mandritto tondo to the shin of his leg or into the leading foot; the mandritto will go under your arm leaving your buckler to defend your head. Then you will gather back your right foot near the left, lifting a rising falso to the buckler rim that will sail up all the way to guardia alta.
