LE BRET (entering; and running up to Cyrano):   They're looking for you!  Here's a crazy mob   Led by the men who followed you last night。 。 。

CYRANO (alarmed):   What!  Have you told them where to find me?

LE BRET (rubbing his hands):   Yes!

A BURGHER (entering; followed by a group of men):   Sir; all the Marais is a…coming here!

(Outside the street has filled with people。  Chaises a porteurs and carriages have drawn up。)

LE BRET (in a low voice; smiling; to Cyrano):   And Roxane?

CYRANO (quickly):   Hush!

THE CROWD (calling outside):   Cyrano!。 。 。

(A crowd rush into the shop; pushing one another。  Acclamations。)

RAGUENEAU (standing on a table):   Lo! my shop   Invaded!  They break all!  Magnificent!

PEOPLE (crowding round Cyrano):   My friend!。 。 。my friend。 。 。

Cyrano:   Meseems that yesterday   I had not all these friends!

LE BRET (delighted):   Success!

A YOUNG MARQUIS (hurrying up with his hands held out):   My friend;   Didst thou but know。 。 。

CYRANO:   Thou!。 。 。Marry!。 。 。thou!。 。 。Pray when   Did we herd swine together; you and I!

ANOTHER:   I would present you; Sir; to some fair dames   Who in my carriage yonder。 。 。

CYRANO (coldly):   Ah! and who   Will first present you; Sir; to me?

LE BRET (astonished):   What's wrong?

CYRANO:     Hush!

A MAN OF LETTERS (with writing…board):   A few details?。 。 。

CYRANO:     No。

LE BRET (nudging his elbow):   'Tis Theophrast;   Renaudet;。 。 。of the 'Court Gazette'!

CYRANO:     Who cares?

LE BRET:   This paperbut it is of great importance!。 。 。   They say it will be an immense success!

A POET (advancing):   Sir。 。 。

CYRANO:     What; another!

THE POET:   。 。 。Pray permit I make   A pentacrostic on your name。 。 。

SOME ONE (also advancing):   Pray; Sir。 。 。

CYRANO:     Enough!  Enough!

(A movement in the crowd。  De Guiche appears; escorted by officers。  Cuigy; Brissaille; the officers who went with Cyrano the night before。  Cuigy comes rapidly up to Cyrano。)

CUIGY (to Cyrano):   Here is Monsieur de Guiche? (A murmurevery one makes way):   He comes from the Marshal of Gassion!

DE GUICHE (bowing to Cyrano):   。 。 。Who would express his admiration; Sir;   For your new exploit noised so loud abroad。

THE CROWD:   Bravo!

CYRANO (bowing):   The Marshal is a judge of valor。

DE GUICHE:   He could not have believed the thing; unless   These gentlemen had sworn they witnessed it。

CUIGY:   With our own eyes!

LE BRET (aside to Cyrano; who has an absent air):   But。 。 。you。 。 。

CYRANO:   Hush!

LE BRET:   But。 。 。You suffer?

CYRANO (starting):   Before this rabble?I?。 。 。 (He draws himself up; twirls his mustache; and throws back his shoulders):   Wait!。 。 。You shall see!

DE GUICHE (to whom Cuigy has spoken in a low voice):   In feats of arms; already your career   Abounded。You serve with those crazy pates   Of Gascons?

CYRANO:   Ay; with the Cadets。

A CADET (in a terrible voice):   With us!

DE GUICHE (looking at the cadets; ranged behind Cyrano):   Ah!。 。 。All these gentlemen of haughty mien;   Are they the famous?。 。 。

CARBON:   Cyrano!

CYRANO:   Ay; Captain!

CARBON:   Since all my company's assembled here;   Pray favor me;present them to my lord!

CYRANO (making two steps toward De Guiche):   My Lord de Guiche; permit that I present (pointing to the cadets):   The bold Cadets of Gascony;   Of Carbon of Castel…Jaloux!   Brawling and swaggering boastfully;   The bold Cadets of Gascony!   Spouting of Armory; Heraldry;   Their veins a…brimming with blood so blue;   The bold Cadets of Gascony;   Of Carbon of Castel…Jaloux:

  Eagle…eye; and spindle…shanks;   Fierce mustache; and wolfish tooth!   Slash…the…rabble and scatter…their…ranks;   Eagle…eye and spindle…shanks;   With a flaming feather that gayly pranks;   Hiding the holes in their hats; forsooth!   Eagle…eye and spindle…shanks;   Fierce mustache; and wolfish tooth!

  'Pink…your…Doublet' and 'Slit…your…Trunk'   Are their gentlest sobriquets;   With Fame and Glory their soul is drunk!   'Pink…your…Doublet' and 'Slit…your…Trunk;'   In brawl and skirmish they show their spunk;   Give rendezvous in broil and fray;   'Pink…your…Doublet' and 'Slit…your…Trunk'   Are their gentlest sobriquets!

  What; ho!  Cadets of Gascony!   All jealous lovers are sport for you!   O Woman! dear divinity!   What; ho!  Cadets of Gascony!   Whom scowling husbands quake to see。   Blow; 'taratara;' and cry 'Cuckoo。'   What; ho!  Cadets of Gascony!   Husbands and lovers are game for you!

DE GUICHE (seated with haughty carelessness in an armchair brought quickly by Ragueneau):   A poet!  'Tis the fashion of the hour!   Will you be mine?

CYRANO:   No; Sir;no man's!

DE GUICHE:   Last night   Your fancy pleased my uncle Richelieu。   I'll gladly say a word to him for you。

LE BRET (overjoyed):   Great Heavens!

DE GUICHE:   I imagine you have rhymed   Five acts; or so?

LE BRET (in Cyrano's ear):   Your play!your 'Agrippine!'   You'll see it staged at last!

DE GUICHE:   Take them to him。

CYRANO (beginning to be tempted and attracted):   In sooth;I would。 。 。

DE GUICHE:   He is a critic skilled:   He may correct a line or two; at most。

CYRANO (whose face stiffens at once):   Impossible!  My blood congeals to think   That other hand should change a comma's dot。

DE GUICHE:   But when a verse approves itself to him   He pays it dear; good friend。

CYRANO:   He pays less dear   Than I myself; when a verse pleases me   I pay myself; and sing it to myself!

DE GUICHE:   You are proud。

CYRANO:   Really?  You have noticed that?

A CADET (entering; with a string of old battered plumed beaver hats; full of holes; slung on his sword):   See; Cyrano;this morning; on the quay   What strange bright…feathered game we caught!   The hats   O' the fugitives。 。 。

CARBON:   'Spolia opima!'

ALL (laughing):   Ah! ah! ah!

CUIGY:   He who laid that ambush; 'faith!   Must curse and swear!

BRISSAILLE:   Who was it?

DE GUICHE:   I myself。 (The laughter stops):   I charged themwork too dirty for my sword;   To punish and chastise a rhymster sot。

(Constrained silence。)

The CADET (in a low voice; to Cyrano; showing him the beavers):   What do with them?  They're full of grease!a stew?

CYRANO (taking the sword and; with a salute; dropping the hats at De Guiche's feet):   Sir; pray be good enough to render them   Back to your friends。

DE GUICHE (rising; sharply):   My chair therequick!I go! (To Cyrano passionately):   As to you; sirrah!。 。 。

VOICE (in the street):   Porters for my lord De Guiche!

DE GUICHE (who has controlled himselfsmiling):   Have you read 'Don Quixote'?

CYRANO:   I have!   And doff my hat at th' mad knight…errant's name。

DE GUICHE:   I counsel you to study。 。 。

A PORTER (appearing at back):   My lord's chair!

DE GUICHE:   。 。 。The windmill chapter!

CYRANO (bowing):   Chapter the Thirteenth。

DE GUICHE:   For when one tilts 'gainst windmillsit may chance。 。 。

CYRANO:   Tilt I 'gainst those who change with every breeze?

DE GUICHE:   。 。 。That windmill sails may sweep you with their arm   Downin the mire!。 。 。 

CYRANO:   Or upwardto the stars!
