CYRANO DE BERGERAC
159

First Page

[in a low voice].

We've played the serenade you bade
To Montfleury !

Cyrano

[quickly, in a low voice].

Go ! lurk in ambush there,
One at this street corner, and one at that ;
And if a passer-by should here intrude,
Play you a tune !

Second Page.

What tune, Sir Gassendist ?

Cyrano.

Gay, if a woman comes, - for a man, sad !

[The Pages disappear, one at each street corner. To Christian.]

Call her !

Christian.

Roxane !

Cyrano

[picking up stones and throwing them at the window],

Some pebbles ! wait a while !

Roxane

[half-opening the casement].

Who calls me ?

Christian.

I!

Roxane.

Who's that ?
