CYRANO (calling):
Christian!

[Scene 3.IV.]

Cyrano, Christian.

CYRANO:
I know all that is needful. Here’s occasion
For you to deck yourself with glory. Come,
Lose no time; put away those sulky looks,
Come to your house with me, I’ll teach you. . .

CHRISTIAN:
No!

CYRANO:
Why?

CHRISTIAN:
I will wait for Roxane here.

CYRANO:
How? Crazy?
Come quick with me and learn. . .

CHRISTIAN:
No, no! I say.
I am aweary of these borrowed letters,
—Borrowed love-makings! Thus to act a part,
And tremble all the time!—’Twas well enough
At the beginning!—Now I know she loves!
I fear no longer!—I will speak myself.

CYRANO:
Mercy!
