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。)


Curtain。



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 are seen lawns; other alleys; clusters of trees; winding of the park; the sky。

The chapel opens by a little side door on to a colonnade which is wreathed with autumn leaves; and is lost to view a little farther on in the right…hand foreground behind the boxwood。

It is autumn。  All the foliage is red against the fresh green of the lawns。 The green boxwood and yews stand out dark。

Under each tree a patch of yellow leaves。

The stage is strewn with dead leaves; which rustle under foot in the alleys; and half cover the steps and benches。

Between the benches on the right hand and the tree a large embroidery frame; in front of which a little chair has been set。

Baskets full of skeins and balls of wool。  A tapestry begun。

At the rising of the curtains nuns are walking to and fro in the park; some are seated on the bench around an older Sister。

The leaves are falling。



Scene 5。I。

Mother Marguerite; Sister Martha; Sister Claire; other sisters。

SISTER MARTHA (to Mother Marguerite):   S
