    THE CROWD (presses round Cyrano。               Chorus of):      Compliments! 

Bravo!     Let me congratulate!。 。 。Quite unsurpassed!。 。 。 

    A WOMAN'S VOICE:              There is a hero for you!。 。 。 

    A MUSKETEER (advancing to Cyrano with outstretched hand):                   Sir; 

permit;     Naught   could   be   finerI'm   a   judge   I   think; I   stamped;   i' 

faith!to show my admiration! 

    (He goes away。) 

    CYRANO (to Cuigy):           Who is that gentleman? 

    CUIGY:        WhyD'Artagnan! 

    LE BRET (to Cyrano; taking his arm):           A word with you!。 。 。 

    CYRANO:           Wait;   let   the   rabble   go!。   。   。   (To   Bellerose): May   I 

stay? 

    BELLEROSE (respectfully):            Without doubt! 

    (Cries are heard outside。) 

    JODELET (who has looked out):            They hoot Montfleury! 

    BELLEROSE          (solemnly):       Sic    transit!。  。  。  (To  the  porters): 

Sweepclose   all;   but   leave   the   lights。 We   sup;   but   later   on   we   must 

return;     For a rehearsal of to…morrow's farce。 

    (Jodelet and Bellerose go out; bowing low to Cyrano。) 

    THE PORTER (to Cyrano):            You do not dine; Sir? 

    CYRANO:          No。 

    (The porter goes out。) 

    LE BRET:        Because? 

    CYRANO (proudly):           Because。 。 。 (Changing his tone as the porter 

goes away):       I have no money!。 。 。

                               CYRANO DE BERGERAC 



    LE BRET (with the action of throwing a bag):               How!      The bag of 

crowns?。 。 。 

    CYRANO:           Paternal bounty; in a day; thou'rt sped! 

    LE BRET:         How live the next month?。 。 。 

    CYRANO:           I have nothing left。 

    LE BRET:         Folly! 

    CYRANO:           But what a graceful action!       Think! 

    THE      BUFFET…GIRL         (coughing;     behind    her   counter):      Hum! 

(Cyrano and Le Bret turn。        She comes timidly forward):           Sir; my heart 

mislikes to know you fast。         (Showing the buffet):         See; all you need。 

Serve yourself! 

    CYRANO         (taking   off  his  hat):     Gentle    child;     Although     my 

Gascon pride   would else   forbid        To   take the   least bestowal   from  your 

hands;      My   fear   of   wounding   you   outweighs   that   pride;    And   bids 

accept。 。 。 (He goes to the buffet):         A trifle!。 。 。These few grapes。 (She 

offers him the whole bunch。        He takes a few):        Nay; but this bunch!。 。 。 

(She tries to give him wine; but he stops her):           A glass of water fair!。 。 。 

And half a macaroon! 

    (He gives back the other half。) 

    LE BRET:         What foolery! 

    THE BUFFET…GIRL:              Take something else! 

    CYRANO:           I take your hand to kiss。 

    (He kisses her hand as though she were a princess。) 

    THE      BUFFET…GIRL:           Thank      you;  kind   Sir!   (She   courtesies): 

Good…night。 

    (She goes out。) 



                                    SCENE 1。V。 



    Cyrano; Le Bret。 

    CYRANO (to Le Bret):            Now talkI listen。 (He stands at the buffet; 

and    placing   before   him   first  the  macaroon):     Dinner!。     。  。  (then  the 

grapes):      Dessert!。   。   。   (then   the   glass of   water): Wine!。   。   。   (he   seats 

himself):      So!    And now   to table!       Ah!    I   was   hungry;   friend; nay; 



                                            27

ravenous! (eating):       You said? 

    LE BRET:         These   fops; would…be belligerent;         Will; if you   heed 

them only; turn your head!。 。 。        Ask people of good sense if you would 

know      The effect of your fine insolence 

    CYRANO (finishing his macaroon):              Enormous! 

    LE BRET:         The Cardinal。 。 。 

    CYRANO (radiant):           The Cardinalwas there? 

    LE BRET:         Must have thought it。 。 。 

    CYRANO:          Original; i' faith! 

    LE BRET:         But。 。 。 

    CYRANO:          He's an author。     'Twill not fail to please him        That I 

should mar a brother…author's play。 

    LE BRET:         You make too many enemies by far! 

    CYRANO   (eating   his   grapes):       How   many  think   you   I   have   made 

to…night? 

    LE BRET:         Forty; no less; not counting ladies。 

    CYRANO:          Count! 

    LE BRET:         Montfleury first; the bourgeois; then De Guiche;            The 

Viscount; Baro; the Academy。 。 。 

    CYRANO:          Enough!      I am o'erjoyed! 

    LE BRET:         But these strange ways;        Where will they lead you; at 

the end?    Explain      Your systemcome! 

    CYRANO:          I in a labyrinth      Was losttoo many different paths to 

choose;      I took。 。 。 

    LE BRET:         Which? 

    CYRANO:           Oh!    by  far  the  simplest   path。  。  。  Decided     to  be 

admirable in all! 

    LE BRET (shrugging his shoulders):             So be it!    But the motive of 

your hate      To Montfleurycome; tell me! 

    CYRANO (rising):           This Silenus;      Big…bellied; coarse; still deems 

himself a peril      A danger to the love of lovely ladies;        And; while he 

sputters    out  his  actor's  part;    Makes     sheep's   eyes   at  their  boxes 

goggling frog!       I hate him since the evening he presumed           To raise his 

eyes to hers。 。 。Meseemed I saw           A slug crawl slavering o'er a flower's

petals! 

     LE BRET (stupefied):          How now?        What?     Can it be。 。 。? 

     CYRANO (laughing bitterly):            That I should love?。 。 。 (Changing his 

tone; gravely):      I love。 

     LE BRET:        And may I know?。 。 。You never said。 。 。 

     CYRANO:           Come      now;   bethink   you!。   。  。The   fond   hope   to  be 

Beloved; e'en by some poor graceless lady;              Is; by this nose of mine for 

aye bereft me;        This lengthy nose which; go where'er I will;             Pokes 

yet a quarter…mile ahead of me;           But I may loveand who?          'Tis Fate's 

decree      I love the fairesthow were't otherwise? 

     LE BRET:        The fairest?。 。 。 

     CYRANO:          Ay;    the  fairest  of  the  world;     Most     brilliantmost 

refinedmost golden…haired! 

     LE BRET:        Who is this lady? 

     CYRANO:           She's    a  danger   mortal;      All    unsuspiciousfull    of 

charms   unconscious;        Like   a   sweet   perfumed   rosea   snare   of   nature; 

Within whose petals Cupid lurks in ambush!               He who has seen her smile 

has    known      perfection;        Instilling    into   trifles  grace's   essence; 

Divinity in every careless gesture;          Not Venus' self can mount her conch 

blown   sea…ward;        As   she   can   step   into   her   chaise   a   porteurs; Nor 

Dian fleet across the woods spring…flowered;             Light as my Lady o'er the 

stones of Paris!。 。 。 

     LE BRET:        Sapristi! all is clear! 

     CYRANO:          As spiderwebs! 

     LE BRET:        Your cousin; Madeleine Robin? 

     CYRANO:          Roxane! 

     LE BRET:         Well; but so much the better!         Tell her so!      She saw 

your triumph here this very night! 

     CYRANO:          Look well at methen tell me; with what hope                This 

vile protuberance can inspire my heart!            I do not lull me with illusions 

yet     At    times  I'm   weak:   in  evening    hours   dim     I   enter  some    fair 

pleasance;   perfumed   sweet;        With   my   poor   ugly   devil   of   a   nose  I 

scent spring's essencein the silver rays           I see some knighta lady on 

his   arm;     And   think   'To   saunter   thus   'neath   the   moonshine;   I   were

fain to have my lady; too; beside!'        Thought soars to ecstasy。 。 。O sudden 

fall!    The shadow of my profile on the wall! 

    LE BRET (tenderly):          My friend!。 。 。 

    CYRANO:           My  friend;   at   times   'tis   hard;   'tis   bitter; To   feel   my 

lonelinessmy own ill…favor。 。 。 

    LE BRET (taking his hand):           You weep? 

    CYRANO:           No;   never!   Think;    how   vilely   suited    Adown      this 

nose a tear its passage tracing!       I never will; while of myself I'm master; 

let the divinity of tearstheir beauty        Be wedded to such common ugly 

grossness。      Nothing more solemn than a tearsublimer;             And I would 

not   by   weeping     turn  to  laughter      The    grave   emotion
