(p.78/#2) (Coda Lunga Stretta vs. Coda Lunga Stretta) Your enemy being found settled in coda lunga stretta with the right foot forward you yourself will be set in the same way; and there with all the noble skill possible, you will pass your left foot traversing his right side and will feint a thrust to his right flank; and as he makes to defend against it you will pass your right foot in a great pass towards his left side throwing the fist of the sword somewhat back, and then presently throwing a roverso traversato to his face or his sword arm that ends at the feet of your enemy; and if he makes some riposte at you, then you will presently step somewhat forward with the right foot throwing a mezzo mandritto or giving him a thrust to his sword hand, setting yourself then gracefully into porta di ferro stretta.
