(p.242/#4) (Sword and Targa) (Coda Lunga Stretta with the Left Foot Forward vs. Any) Finding your enemy again in any guard you will place yourself in coda lunga stretta with the left foot forward, and here pulling the left foot back near the right, you will make in this tempo a falso tondo such that goes over your head, and then giving him a mandritto to the leg, which mandritto will be interrupted as it goes not to wound your enemy and it will not pass porta di ferro larga, but after it's done you will subsequently pass your right foot forward turning a roverso tondo to his face and over his targa, and if he perhaps lifts his targa high to defend against this roverso you will presently pass your left foot towards his right side pushing a thrust under his targa to his face, accompanying your targa with the thrust, and if he wants to defend this in some way you will be able to quickly strike his front leg with a roverso that does not pass coda lunga stretta allowing the targa to guard the head then for your security will you withdraw your left foot back, going with the sword accompanied by the targa into guardia di faccia.
