without stirring the Feet.

See the Chapter of Reprises.

The Cut may be made not only after a Half-thrust, or strait Feint, as I
have said, but also after an Engagement, Lunge, or Pass, and in
Risposting, which is the best and most used; because that is to be done
only in recovering to Guard, or by bringing one Foot behind the other,
or springing back; To the first you must Rispost with the Foot firm, and
to the other by closing the Measure.

CHAP. XV.

_Of the_ Reprise, _or redoubled Thrust_.

The Term _Reprise_ signifies a succession of Thrusts without Interval,
or with very little. It may be done in three Manners; First after having
pushed without recovering, Secondly, in recovering or being recovered;
and Thirdly, when the Enemy steals Measure.

The first and last of these three Reprises may be called Redoubles.

The first Reprise is made after having pushed _Quart_, the Enemy having
parryed with his Feeble, you must return in _Seconde_, advancing the
left Foot a little to make the Action easier to the right Foot, and tho'
it be not necessary to advance it unless the Enemy retires, it serves
for an Ornament, and to give more Vigour to the Thrust: But if as soon
as the Enemy has parryed he Risposts, you must only redouble with the
Hand, the Body low without stirring the Feet, and join. If he Risposts
under the Wrist in the Flank, you must either parry crossing his Sword
as you recover, opposing with the left Hand, or return, as I said, with
the Hand in _Seconde_.

Upon the Rispost of the Enemy, you may also redouble, volting strait, or
cutting in the Flank according as he raises his Hand more or less in his
Rispost, in order to facilitate your Volt; you must immediately after
your Lunge follow a little with the left Foot.

The second Reprise is made, after having pushed _Quarte_, when in
recovering to Guard the Enemy advances, without being covered, or that
suffering the Superiority of your Sword, he gives you room to thrust in
_Quarte_, if he disengages, you must go off in _Tierce_, if he forces
your Sword with his Feeble, you must disengage to _Tierce_, and if with
his Fort cut _Quarte_ under the Wrist.

In order to get time for this Redouble, you must make a half Thrust,
immediately getting out of Measure, either with the Body Simply, or by
the first Demarche backwards, or by leaping a little back; if the Enemy
advances it will be either strait or making a Feint, or on your Sword;
