il faire dans cette galere？。 。 。 Philosopher； metaphysician； Rhymer；
brawler； and musician； Famed for his lunar expedition； And the
unnumbered duels he fought； And lover also；by interposition！
Here lies Hercule Savinien De Cyrano de Bergerac； Who was
everything； yet was naught。 I cry you pardon； but I may not stay；
See； the moon…ray that comes to call me hence！ （He has fallen back in his
chair； the sobs of Roxane recall him to reality； he looks long at her； and；
touching her veil）： I would not bid you mourn less faithfully That
good； brave Christian： I would only ask That when my body shall be
cold in clay You wear those sable mourning weeds for two； And
mourn awhile for me； in mourning him。
ROXANE： I swear it you！。 。 。
CYRANO （shivering violently； then suddenly rising）： Not there！
what； seated？no！ （They spring toward him）： Let no one hold me up
（He props himself against the tree）： Only the tree！ （Silence）： It
comes。 E'en now my feet have turned to stone； My hands are gloved
with lead！ （He stands erect）： But since Death comes； I meet him still
afoot； （He draws his sword）： And sword in hand！
LE BRET： Cyrano！
ROXANE （half fainting）： Cyrano！
（All shrink back in terror。）
CYRANO： Why； I well believe He dares to mock my nose？
Ho！ insolent！ （He raises his sword）： What say you？ It is useless？ Ay；
I know But who fights ever hoping for success？ I fought for lost
cause； and for fruitless quest！ You there； who are you！You are
thousands！ Ah！ I know you now； old enemies of mine！ Falsehood！
（He strikes in air with his sword）： Have at you！ Ha！ and Compromise！
Prejudice； Treachery！。 。 。 （He strikes）： Surrender； I？ Parley？ No；
never！ You too； Folly；you？ I know that you will lay me low at last；
Let be！ Yet I fall fighting； fighting still！ （He makes passes in the air； and
stops； breathless）： You strip from me the laurel and the rose！ Take
all！ Despite you there is yet one thing I hold against you all； and
when； to…night； I enter Christ's fair courts； and； lowly bowed； Sweep
with doffed casque the heavens' threshold blue； One thing is left； that；

CYRANO DE BERGERAC
void of stain or smutch； I bear away despite you。
（He springs forward； his sword raised； it falls from his hand； he
staggers； falls back into the arms of Le Bret and Ragueneau。）
ROXANE （bending and kissing his forehead）： 'Tis？。 。 。
CYRANO （opening his eyes； recognizing her； and smiling）： MY
PANACHE。
