A man thus armed engages in quarte or tierce, but standing with his left
foot in front, his quarte will be your tierce and his tierce your
quarte; that is, his right side is his quarte and your right side is
your tierce, and _vice versâ_.
He will parry attacks made at the right side of his head or body with
quarte, and those made at the left side of the head or body with tierce.
He will defend the top of his head with prime and his leg with
half-circle. In both of these guards his left arm is very much exposed.
