CYRANO DE BERGERAC

A Voice

[singing at the back].

Monsieur de Cyrano
Displays his tyrannies:
A fig for tyrants! What, ho!
Come! Play us la Clorise!

All the Pit

[singing].

La Clorise! la Clorise!

Cyrano.

Let me but hear once more that foolish rhyme,
I slaughter every man of you.

A Burgher.

I slaughter every man of you. Oh! Samson?

Cyrano.

Yes, Samson! Will you lend your jawbone, Sir?

A Lady

[in the boxes].

Outrageous!

A Lord.

Outrageous! Scandalous!

A Burgher.

Outrageous! Scandalous! 'Tis most annoying!

A Page.

Fair good sport!

The Pit.

Fair good sport! Kss!—Montfleury… Cyrano!
