This Silenus, with a stomach like a hogshead, still believes himself a danger to womankind. See him, while he stammers on the stage, ogling like a carp, with his frog's eyes! I hate him since he dared, once, to set those eyes of his upon her.... Oh! I felt as if I saw a long slug crawling over a flower!

CYRANO (with a bitter laugh).
That I love?
(changing to a solemn tone).
I do love.
LE BRET.
Whom? May I enquire? You never told me.
