sweet;      My heart has been yours in every beat!' 

     (The shades of evening fall imperceptibly。) 

    ROXANE:           You read in such a voiceso strangeand yet            It is 

not the first time I hear that voice! 

     (She comes nearer very softly; without his perceiving it; passes behind 

his   chair;  and;  noiselessly   leaning   over  him;   looks   at   the  letter。 The 

darkness deepens。) 

    CYRANO:           'Here; dying; and there; in the land on high;          I am he 

who loved; who loves you;I。 。 。' 

    ROXANE (putting her hand on his shoulder):                 How can you read? 

It is too dark to see! (He starts; turns; sees her close to him。           Suddenly 

alarmed;   he   holds   his   head   down。   Then   in   the   dusk;   which   has   now 

completely   enfolded   them;   she   says;   very   slowly;   with   clasped   hands): 

And; fourteen years long; he has played this part            Of the kind old friend 

who comes to laugh and chat。 

    CYRANO:           Roxane! 

    ROXANE:          'Twas you! 

    CYRANO:           No; never; Roxane; no! 

    ROXANE:          I should have guessed; each time he said my name! 

    CYRANO:           No; it was not I!

                            CYRANO DE BERGERAC 



    ROXANE:        It was you! 

    CYRANO:        I swear! 

    ROXANE:         I  see  through  all  the  generous  counterfeit   The 

lettersyou! 

    CYRANO:        No。 

    ROXANE:        The sweet; mad love…words!       You! 

    CYRANO:        No! 

    ROXANE:        The voice that thrilled the nightyou; you! 

    CYRANO:        I swear you err。 

    ROXANE:        The soulit was your soul! 

    CYRANO:        I loved you not。 

    ROXANE:        You loved me not? 

    CYRANO:        'Twas he! 

    ROXANE:        You loved me! 

    CYRANO:        No! 

    ROXANE:        See! how you falter now! 

    CYRANO:        No; my sweet love; I never loved you! 

    ROXANE:        Ah!     Things dead; long dead; see! how they rise again! 

Why; why keep silence all these fourteen years;       When; on this letter; 

which he never wrote;      The tears were your tears? 

    CYRANO (holding out the letter to her):       The bloodstains were his。 

    ROXANE:        Why; then; that noble silence;kept so long     Broken 

to…day for the first timewhy? 

    CYRANO:        Why?。 。 。 

    (Le Bret and Ragueneau enter running。) 



                               SCENE 5。VI。 



    The same。    Le Bret and Ragueneau。 

    LE BRET:       What madness!     Here?    I knew it well! 

    CYRANO (smiling and sitting up):        What now? 

    LE BRET:       He has brought his death by coming; Madame。 

    ROXANE:        God!     Ah; then! that faintness of a moment since。 。 。? 

    CYRANO:        Why; true!    It interrupted the 'Gazette:'  。 。 。Saturday;

twenty…sixth; at dinner…time;         Assassination of De Bergerac。 

     (He takes off his hat; they see his head bandaged。) 

    ROXANE:           What   says   he?    Cyrano!His   head   all   bound!       Ah; 

what has chanced?        How?Who?。 。 。 

     CYRANO:          'To   be   struck   down;    Pierced   by   sword   i'   the   heart; 

from   a   hero's   hand!'   That   I   had   dreamed。   O   mockery   of   Fate!      

Killed; I! of all menin an ambuscade!             Struck from behind; and by a 

lackey's hand!       'Tis very well。     I am foiled; foiled in all;      Even in my 

death。 

    RAGUENEAU:              Ah; Monsieur!。 。 。 

     CYRANO (holding out his hand to him):                Ragueneau;         Weep not 

so bitterly!。 。 。What do you now;          Old comrade?       RAGUENEAU (amid 

his tears):     Trim the lights for Moliere's stage。 

     CYRANO:          Moliere! 

    RAGUENEAU:              Yes; but I shall leave to…morrow。           I cannot bear 

it!Yesterday;   they   played      'Scapin'I   saw   he'd   thieved   a   scene   from 

you! 

    LE BRET:         What! a whole scene? 

    RAGUENEAU:              Oh;    yes;  indeed;   Monsieur;       The    famous    one; 

'Que Diable allait…il faire?' 

    LE BRET:         Moliere has stolen that? 

     CYRANO:          Tut!    He   did   well!。   。   。   (to   Ragueneau): How   went 

the scene?     It toldI think it told? 

    RAGUENEAU (sobbing):                Ah! how they laughed! 

     CYRANO:          Look you; it was my life           To be the prompter every 

one    forgets!   (To   Roxane):       That    night   when     'neath  your   window 

Christian     spoke       Under      your   balcony;    you    remember?        Well! 

There    was   the   allegory   of  my   whole   life:    I;  in  the  shadow;    at  the 

ladder's   foot;    While   others   lightly   mount   to   Love   and   Fame!    Just! 

very just!    Here on the threshold drear          Of death; I pay my tribute with 

the   rest;    To   Moliere's   genius;Christian's   fair   face!   (The   chapel…bell 

chimes。     The   nuns   are   seen   passing   down   the   alley   at   the   back;   to   say 

their office):     Let them go pray; go pray; when the bell rings! 

    ROXANE (rising and calling):             Sister!   Sister!

                               CYRANO DE BERGERAC 



    CYRANO          (holding   her   fast):     Call   no   one。    Leave     me   not; 

When you come back; I should be gone for aye。 (The nuns have all entered 

the chapel。     The organ sounds):         I was somewhat fain for musichark! 

'tis come。 

    ROXANE:           Live; for I love you! 

    CYRANO:           No; In fairy tales       When to the ill…starred Prince the 

lady says      'I love you!' all his ugliness fades fast         But I remain the 

same; up to the last! 

    ROXANE:           I have marred your lifeI; I! 

    CYRANO:            You    blessed    my   life!    Never     on   me   had   rested 

woman's   love。       My   mother   even   could   not   find   me   fair:  I   had   no 

sister; and; when grown a man;            I feared the mistress who would mock 

at   me。    But    I   have   had   your   friendshipgrace  to   you   A   woman's 

charm has passed across my path。 

    LE   BRET   (pointing   to   the   moon;   which   is   seen   between   the   trees): 

Your other lady…love is come。 

    CYRANO (smiling):            I see。 

    ROXANE:           I loved but once; yet twice I lose my love! 

    CYRANO:           Hark     you;  Le   Bret!   I   soon   shall  reach   the  moon。 

To…night; alone; with no projectile's aid!。 。 。 

    LE BRET:         What are you saying? 

    CYRANO:           I tell you; it is there;    There; that they send me for my 

Paradise;      There I shall find at last the souls I love;       In exile;Galileo… 

…Socrates! 

    LE   BRET   (rebelliously):        No;    no!   It   is   too  clumsy;   too  unjust! 

So great a heart!     So great a poet!     Die      Like this? what; die。 。 。? 

    CYRANO:           Hark to Le Bret; who scolds! 

    LE BRET (weeping):            Dear friend。 。 。 

    CYRANO         (starting   up;  his  eyes   wild):     What     ho!    Cadets     of 

Gascony!       The elemental massah yes!          The hic。 。 。 

    LE BRET:         His science stillhe raves! 

    CYRANO:           Copernicus       Said。 。 。 

    ROXANE:           Oh! 

    CYRANO:           Mais que diable allait…il faire;       Mais que diable allait…

il   faire   dans   cette   galere?。   。   。 Philosopher;   metaphysician;       Rhymer; 

brawler;     and   musician;      Famed      for  his  lunar   expedition;       And     the 

unnumbered        duels   he   fought;     And     lover   also;by    interposition! 

Here     lies  Hercule    Savinien       De    Cyrano     de   Bergerac;       Who      was 

everything;   yet     was   naught。      I  cry   you   pardon;   but   I  may   not   stay; 

See; the moon…ray that comes to call me hence! (He has fallen back in his 

chair; the sobs of Roxane recall him to reality; he looks long at her; and; 

touching   her veil):       I   would   not bid   you   mourn   less   faithfully     That 

good; brave Christian:         I would only ask         That when my body shall be 

cold   in   clay    You   wear   those   sable   mourning   weeds   for   two;        And 

mourn awhile for me; in mourning him。 

     ROXANE:           I swear it you!。 。 。 

     CYRANO   (shivering   violently;   then   suddenly   rising):            Not   there! 

what; seated?no! (They spring toward him):                 Let no one hold me up 

(He    props    himself    against   the  tree):     Only    the   tree!  (Silence):      It 

comes。      E'en now my feet have turned to stone;               My hands are gloved 

with lead! (He stands erect):          But since Death comes;            I meet him still 

afoot; (He draws his sword):           And sword in hand! 

     LE BRET:         Cyrano! 

     ROXANE (half fainting):             Cyrano! 

     (All shrink back in terror。) 

     CYRANO:           Why;     I  well   believe     He    dares   to  mock    my   nose? 

Ho! insolent! (He raises his sword):            What say you?        It is useless?     Ay; 

I   know      But   who   fights   ever   hoping   for   success?     I   fought   for   lost 

cause;    and    for  fruitless   quest!     You     there;   who    are  you!You      are 

thousands!        Ah!      I know you now; old enemies of mine!               Falsehood! 

(He strikes in air with his sword):           Have at you!      Ha! and Compro
