 。e'en so;   You would not have been let to utter one   Nay; not the half or quarter of such jest!   I take them from myself all in good part;   But not from any other man that breathes!

DE GUICHE (trying to draw away the dismayed viscount):   Come away; Viscount!

THE VISCOUNT (choking with rage):   Hear his arrogance!   A country lout who。 。 。who。 。 。has got no gloves!   Who goes out without sleeve…knots; ribbons; lace!

CYRANO:   True; all my elegances are within。   I do not prank myself out; puppy…like;   My toilet is more thorough; if less gay;   I would not sally fortha half…washed…out   Affront upon my cheeka conscience   Yellow…eyed; bilious; from its sodden sleep;   A ruffled honor;。 。 。scruples grimed and dull!   I show no bravery of shining gems。   Truth; Independence; are my fluttering plumes。   'Tis not my form I lace to make me slim;   But brace my soul with efforts as with stays;   Covered with exploits; not with ribbon…knots;   My spirit bristling high like your mustaches;   I; traversing the crowds and chattering groups   Make Truth ring bravely out like clash of spurs!

THE VISCOUNT:   But; Sir。 。 。

CYRANO:   I wear no gloves?  And what of that?   I had one;。 。 。remnant of an old worn pair;   And; knowing not what else to do with it;   I threw it in the face of。 。 。some young fool。

THE VISCOUNT:   Base scoundrel!  Rascally flat…footed lout!

CYRANO (taking off his hat; and bowing as if the viscount had introduced himself):   Ah?。 。 。and I; Cyrano Savinien   Hercule de Bergerac

(Laughter。)

THE VISCOUNT (angrily):   Buffoon!

CYRANO (calling out as if he had been seized with the cramp):   Aie!  Aie!

THE VISCOUNT (who was going away; turns back):   What on earth is the fellow saying now?

CYRANO (with grimaces of pain):   It must be movedit's getting stiff; I vow;   This comes of leaving it in idleness!   Aie!。 。 。

THE VISCOUNT:   What ails you?

CYRANO:   The cramp! cramp in my sword!

THE VISCOUNT (drawing his sword):   Good!

CYRANO:   You shall feel a charming little stroke!

THE VISCOUNT (contemptuously):   Poet!。 。 。

CYRANO:   Ay; poet; Sir!  In proof of which;   While we fence; presto! all extempore   I will compose a ballade。

THE VISCOUNT:   A ballade?

CYRANO:   Belike you know not what a ballade is。

THE VISCOUNT:   But。 。 。

CYRANO (reciting; as if repeating a lesson):   Know then that the ballade should contain   Three eight…versed couplets。 。 。

THE VISCOUNT (stamping):   Oh!

CYRANO (still reciting):   And an envoi   Of four lines。 。 。

THE VISCOUNT:   You。 。 。

CYRANO:   I'll make one while we fight;   And touch you at the final line。

THE VISCOUNT:   No!

CYRANO:   No? (declaiming):   The duel in Hotel of Burgundyfought   By De Bergerac and a good…for…naught!

THE VISCOUNT:   What may that be; an if you please?

CYRANO:   The title。

THE HOUSE (in great excitement):   Give room!Good sport!Make place!Fair play!No noise!

(Tableau。  A circle of curious spectators in the pit; the marquises and officers mingled with the common people; the pages climbing on each other's shoulders to see better。  All the women standing up in the boxes。  To the right; De Guiche and his retinue。  Left; Le Bret; Ragueneau; Cyrano; etc。)

CYRANO (shutting his eyes for a second):   Wait while I choose my rhymes。 。 。I have them now! (He suits the action to each word):   I gayly doff my beaver low;   And; freeing hand and heel;   My heavy mantle off I throw;   And I draw my polished steel;   Graceful as Phoebus; round I wheel;   Alert as Scaramouch;   A word in your ear; Sir Spark; I steal   At the envoi's end; I touch! (They engage):   Better for you had you lain low;   Where skewer my cock?  In the heel?   In the heart; your ribbon blue below?   In the hip; and make you kneel?   Ho for the music of clashing steel!   What now?A hit?  Not much!   'Twill be in the paunch the stroke I steal;   When; at the envoi; I touch。

  Oh; for a rhyme; a rhyme in o?   You wriggle; starch…white; my eel?   A rhyme! a rhyme!  The white feather you SHOW!   Tac!  I parry the point of your steel;   The point you hoped to make me feel;   I open the line; now clutch   Your spit; Sir Scullionslow your zeal!   At the envoi's end; I touch。 (He declaims solemnly):   Envoi。   Prince; pray Heaven for your soul's weal!   I move a pacelo; such! and such!   Cut overfeint! (Thrusting):   What ho!  You reel? (The viscount staggers。  Cyrano salutes):   At the envoi's end; I touch!

(Acclamations。  Applause in the boxes。  Flowers and handkerchiefs are thrown down。  The officers surround Cyrano; congratulating him。  Ragueneau dances for joy。  Le Bret is happy; but anxious。  The viscount's friends hold him up and bear him away。)

THE CROWD (with one long shout):   Ah!

A TROOPER:   'Tis superb!

A WOMAN:   A pretty stroke!

RAGUENEAU:   A marvel!

A MARQUIS:   A novelty!

LE BRET:   O madman!

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!。 。 。

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…G
