(p.237/#2) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Larga with the Right Foot Forward vs. Coda Lunga Stretta with the Right Foot Forward) If your enemy were set in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward, you will place yourself in coda lunga lunga with the right foot forward; and there you throw a falso tondo to his face over his targa which will need to go under your arm without moving the feet one iota; and then subsequently passing your right foot forward, accompanying your sword and targa together, placing your false edge into the enemy's sword, keeping below him and to the outside such that you will be able to strike his legs thereafter with a mandritto, passing in that same tempo with your left foot towards his right side immediately turning a roverso tondo to his face which will need to go around his targa, and if he should lift his sword or targa to defend himself, you will throw a roverso to the leg that descends into coda lunga stretta, making a good defense of the head with the targa; then for your defense you will withdraw the right foot back pushing a thrust to the face under your targa, and then withdrawing your left foot back you can set yourself in coda lunga stretta.
