    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 cannon 

clash 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 DE BERGERAC 



    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
