(p.215/#1) (Guardia di Lioncorno vs. Coda Lunga Stretta or Porta di Ferro Stretta) If you find your enemy in coda lunga stretta or porta di ferro stretta with his right foot forward, I would like you to place yourself into guardia di lioncorno wit your right foot forward; and there you will feint an imbrocatta to the face, and if he should go to defend against this feint, without any further footwork, you will presently turn a rising falso traversato to his sword hand that goes in the manner of a montante, which will then end in guardia alta; you may now also feint another montante, which, as he goes to defend against it, you will then transform into a tramazzone to the sword hand, that will then descend into cinghiara porta di ferro larga; and if he should attack you here you will now pass forward with your right foot defending yourself with a falso and subsequently push a thrust into his face, following that with a roverso to his sword arm, or to his front leg, bringing the sword down into coda lunga larga; now without any delay you may give him rising falso to his sword hand that goes in the manner of guardia sopra braccio; and then withdrawing the right foot back you will be able to his his sword hand with a roverso traversato that descends into coda lunga larga.
