(p.253/#1) (Sword vs. Opposite Handed) (Guardia di Alicorno vs. Porta di Ferro Larga) But if your enemy were set in porta di ferro larga with his right foot forward you will place yourself into guardia di lioncorno against him with your right foot forward; and there you will feint an imbrocatta to his face or to his sword hand, and as he makes some motion to defend himself you will presently strike his sword hand with a rising falso traversato, but if he does not move at the imbrocatta feint, then you will not keep throwing the falso, which will not have passed guardia di faccia; and subsequently you will strike his sword arm with a roverso traversato that does not pass coda lunga larga; and if he should want to attack you here in some way, you will withdraw the right foot back giving him a mandritto to the sword hand that descends into cinghiara porta di ferro larga.
