CHRISTIAN:   She'd love mewere I ugly。

CYRANO:   Said she so?

CHRISTIAN:   Ay! in those words!

CYRANO:   I'm glad she told you that!   But pooh!believe it not!  I am well pleased   She thought to tell you。  Take it not for truth。   Never grow ugly:she'd reproach me then!

CHRISTIAN:   That I intend discovering!

CYRANO:   No! I beg!

CHRISTIAN:   Ay! she shall choose between us!Tell her all!

CYRANO:   No! no!  I will not have it!  Spare me this!

CHRISTIAN:   Because my face is haply fair; shall I   Destroy your happiness?  'Twere too unjust!

CYRANO:   And I;because by Nature's freak I have   The gift to sayall that perchance you feel。   Shall I be fatal to your happiness?

CHRISTIAN:   Tell all!

CYRANO:   It is ill done to tempt me thus!

CHRISTIAN:   Too long I've borne about within myself   A rival to myselfI'll make an end!

CYRANO:   Christian!

CHRISTIAN:   Or union; without witnesssecret   Clandestinecan be easily dissolved   If we survive。

CYRANO:   My God!he still persists!

CHRISTIAN:   I will be loved myselfor not at all!   I'll go see what they dothere; at the end   Of the post:  speak to her; and then let her choose   One of us two!

CYRANO:   It will be you。

CHRISTIAN:   Pray God! (He calls):   Roxane!

CYRANO:   No! no!

ROXANE (coming up quickly):   What?

CHRISTIAN:   Cyrano has things   Important for your ear。 。 。

(She hastens to Cyrano。  Christian goes out。)



Scene 4。X。

Roxane; Cyrano。  Then Le Bret; Carbon de Castel…Jaloux; the cadets; Ragueneau; De Guiche; etc。

ROXANE:   Important; how?

CYRANO (in despair。 to Roxane):   He's gone!  'Tis naught!Oh; you know how he sees   Importance in a trifle!

ROXANE (warmly):   Did he doubt   Of what I said?Ah; yes; I saw he doubted!

CYRANO (taking her hand):   But are you sure you told him all the truth?

ROXANE:   Yes; I would love him were he。 。 。

(She hesitates。)

CYRANO:   Does that word   Embarrass you before my face; Roxane?

ROXANE:   I。 。 。

CYRANO (smiling sadly):   'Twill not hurt me!  Say it!  If he were   Ugly!。 。 。

ROXANE:   Yes; ugly! (Musket report outside):   Hark!  I hear a shot!

CYRANO (ardently):   Hideous!

ROXANE:   Hideous! yes!

CYRANO:   Disfigured。

ROXANE:   Ay!

CYRANO:   Grotesque?

ROXANE:   He could not be grotesque to me!

CYRANO:   You'd love the same?。 。 。

ROXANE:   The samenay; even more!

CYRANO (losing command over himselfaside):   My God! it's true; perchance; love waits me there! (To Roxane):   I。 。 。Roxane。 。 。listen。 。 。

LE BRET (entering hurriedlyto Cyrano):   Cyrano!

CYRANO (turning round):   What?

LE BRET:   Hush!

(He whispers something to him。)

CYRANO (letting go Roxane's hand and exclaiming):   Ah; God!

ROXANE:   What is it?

CYRANO (to himselfstunned):   All is over now。

(Renewed reports。)

ROXANE:   What is the matter?  Hark! another shot!

(She goes up to look outside。)

CYRANO:   It is too late; now I can never tell!

ROXANE (trying to rush out):   What has chanced?

CYRANO (rushing to stop her):   Nothing!

(Some cadets enter; trying to hide something they are carrying; and close round it to prevent Roxane approaching。)

ROXANE:   And those men? (Cyrano draws her away):   What were you just about to say before。 。 。?

CYRANO:   What was I saying?  Nothing now; I swear! (Solemnly):   I swear that Christian's soul; his nature; were。 。 。 (Hastily correcting himself):   Nay; that they are; the noblest; greatest。 。 。

ROXANE:   Were? (With a loud scream):   Oh!

(She rushes up; pushing every one aside。)

CYRANO:   All is over now!

ROXANE (seeing Christian lying on the ground; wrapped in his cloak):   O Christian!

LE BRET (to Cyrano):   Struck by first shot of the enemy!

(Roxane flings herself down by Christian。  Fresh reports of cannonclash of armsclamorbeating of drums。)

CARBON (with sword in the air):   O come!  Your muskets。

(Followed by the cadets; he passes to the other side of the ramparts。)

ROXANE:   Christian!

THE VOICE OF CARBON (from the other side):   Ho! make haste!

ROXANE:   Christian!

CARBON:   FORM LINE!

ROXANE:   Christian!

CARBON:   HANDLE YOUR MATCH!

(Ragueneau rushes up; bringing water in a helmet。)

CHRISTIAN (in a dying voice):   Roxane!

CYRANO (quickly; whispering into Christian's ear; while Roxane distractedly tears a piece of linen from his breast; which she dips into the water; trying to stanch the bleeding):   I told her all。  She loves you still。

(Christian closes his eyes。)

ROXANE:   How; my sweet love?

CARBON:   DRAW RAMRODS!

ROXANE (to Cyrano):   He is not dead?

CARBON:   OPEN YOUR CHARGES WITH YOUR TEETH!

ROXANE:   His cheek   Grows cold against my own!

CARBON:   READY!  PRESENT!

ROXANE (seeing a letter in Christian's doublet):   A letter!。 。 。   'Tis for me!

(She opens it。)

CYRANO (aside):   My letter!

CARBON:   FIRE!

(Musket reportsshoutsnoise of battle。)

CYRANO (trying to disengage his hand; which Roxane on her knees is holding):   But; Roxane; hark; they fight!

ROXANE (detaining him):   Stay yet awhile。   For he is dead。  You knew him; you alone。 (Weeping quietly):   Ah; was not his a beauteous soul; a soul   Wondrous!

CYRANO (standing upbareheaded):   Ay; Roxane。

ROXANE:   An inspired poet?

CYRANO:   Ay; Roxane。

ROXANE:   And a mind sublime?

CYRANO:   Oh; yes!

ROXANE:   A heart too deep for common minds to plumb;   A spirit subtle; charming?

CYRANO (firmly):   Ay; Roxane。

ROXANE (flinging herself on the dead body):   Dead; my love!

CYRANO (asidedrawing his sword):   Ay; and let me die to…day;   Since; all unconscious; she mourns mein him!

(Sounds of trumpets in the distance。)

DE GUICHE (appearing on the rampartsbareheadedwith a wound on his foreheadin a voice of thunder):   It is the signal!  Trumpet flourishes!   The French bring the provisions into camp!   Hold but the place awhile!

ROXANE:   See; there is blood   Upon the lettertears!

A VOICE (outsideshouting):   Surrender!

VOICE OF CADETS:   No!

RAGUENEAU (standing on the top of his carriage; watches the battle over the edge of the ramparts):   The danger's ever greater!

CYRANO (to De Guichepointing to Roxane):   I will charge!   Take her away!

ROXANE (kissing the letterin a half…extinguished voice):   O God! his tears! his blood!。 。 。

RAGUENEAU (jumping down from the carriage and rushing toward her):   She's swooned away!

DE GUICHE (on the rampartto the cadetswith fury):   Stand fast!

A VOICE (outside):   Lay down your arms!

THE CADETS:   No!

CYRANO (to De Guiche):   Now that you have proved your valor; Sir; (Pointing to Roxane):   Fly; and save her!

DE GUICHE (rushing to Roxane; and carrying her away in his arms):   So be it!  Gain but time;   The victory's ours!

CYRANO:   Good。 (Calling out to Roxane; whom De Guiche; aided by Ragueneau; is bearing away in a fainting condition):   Farewell; Roxane!

(Tumult。  Shouts。  Cadets reappear; wounded; falling on the scene。  Cyrano; rushing to the battle; is stopped by Carbon de Castel…Jaloux; who is streaming with blood。)

CARBON:   We are breaking!  I am woundedwounded twice!

CYRANO (shouting to the Gascons):   GASCONS!  HO; GASCONS!  NEVER TURN YOUR BACKS! (To Carbon; whom he is supporting):   Have no fear!  I have two deaths to avenge:   My friend who's slain;and my dead happiness! (They come down; Cyrano brandishing the lance to which is attached Roxane's handkerchief):   Float there! laced kerchief broidered with her name! (He sticks it in the ground and shouts to the cadets):   FALL ON THEM; GASCONS!  CRUSH THEM! (To the fifer):   Fifer; play!

(The fife plays。  The wounded try to rise。  Some cadets; falling one over the other down the slope; group themselves round Cyrano and the little flag。  The carriage is crowded with men inside and outside; and; bristling with arquebuses; is turned into a fortress。)

A CADET (appearing on the crest; beaten backward; but still fighting; cries):   They're climbing the redoubt! (and falls dead。)

CYRANO:   Let us salute them! (The rampart is covered instantly by a formidable row of enemies。  The standards of the Imperialists are raised):   Fire!

(General discharge。)

A CRY IN THE ENEMY'S RANKS:   Fire!

(A deadly answering volley。  The cadets fall on all sides。)

A SPANISH OFFICER (uncovering):   Who are these men who rush on death?

CYRANO (reciting; erect; amid a storm of bullets):   The bold Cadets of Gascony;   Of Carbon of Castel…Jaloux!   Brawling; swaggering boastfully; (He rushes forward; followed by a few survivors):   The bold Cadets。 。 。

(His voice is drowned in the battle。)

Act V。

Cyrano's Gazette。

Fifteen years later; in 1655。  Park of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Paris。  Magnificent trees。  On the left the house:  broad steps on to which open several doors。  An enormous plane tree in the middle of the stage; standing alone。  On the right; among big boxwood trees; a semicircular stone bench。

The whole background of the stage is crossed by an alley of chestnut trees leading on the right hand to the door of a chapel seen through the branches。  Through the double row of trees of this alley a
