- 13:51Speaker 18: only Jacques Callot, now dead and gone, had succeeded better

- 19:55Speaker 1: He hurries out, did the viscal. The mutt cases have
- 20:01Speaker 1: all disappeared behind the curtain to take their places on
- 20:04Speaker 1: the benches placed on the stage. The pit is quite full.
- 20:08Speaker 1: The galleries and the boxes are also crowded. The bourgher
- 20:13Speaker 1: whose veg is drawn up on the end of a
- 20:15Speaker 1: string by a page in the upper gallery, my wig.

- 20:23Speaker 1: Furious, shaking his fist, young villain. Total silence.
- 20:32Speaker 5: What means the sudden silence?
- 20:34Speaker 1: A spectator says something to him in a low voice.
- 20:38Speaker 5: It's true, I.
- 20:39Speaker 11: Have just heard it on good authority.

- 20:57Speaker 1: A knock has heard upon the stage. Every one is motionless.

- 21:21Speaker 20: Silence.
- 21:22Speaker 1: Three knocks are heard on the stage. The curtain opens
- 21:26Speaker 1: in the center tableau, the marquises and insolent attitudes seated
- 21:30Speaker 1: on each side of the stage. The scene represents a
- 21:33Speaker 1: pastoral landscape. Four little lusters light the stage. The violence
- 21:39Speaker 1: plays softly. Libree in a low voice to Ragnau comes
- 21:44Speaker 1: on the scene.
- 21:45Speaker 18: I tis he who begins.
- 21:48Speaker 5: Sirano is not here.
- 21:50Speaker 18: I have lost my wager the better.

- 22:29Speaker 7: Villain, did I not forbid you to show your face
- 22:31Speaker 7: here for a month.
- 22:32Speaker 1: General stupor. Everyone turns round murmurs, hey, what what is it?
- 22:39Speaker 1: The people stand up in the boxes to look Sirano.
- 22:44Speaker 7: King of clowns, leave the stage this instant, But do
- 22:50Speaker 7: you dare defy me?
- 22:52Speaker 1: Different voices from the pit and the boxes.

- 23:17Speaker 1: Qui the cane is shaken off the stage, Oh, choking,
- 23:25Speaker 1: Sirrano appearing suddenly in the pit, standing on a chair,

- 24:09Speaker 7: ears and slit him up. But out he goes yet
- 24:13Speaker 7: Is he not gone yet?
- 24:15Speaker 1: He makes the gesture of turning up his cuffs.
- 24:17Speaker 7: Good. I shall mount the stage now, buffet wise to

- 28:11Speaker 13: for what reason? Say hate you?
- 28:14Speaker 1: Montfiuray graciously, still seated.
- 28:17Speaker 7: Youthful gander. No, I have two reasons. Either will suffice
- 28:22Speaker 7: Primo an actor villainous who mouths and heaves up like
- 28:26Speaker 7: a bucket from a well. The verses that should birdlike
- 28:30Speaker 7: fly secundo, that is my secret.
- 28:33Speaker 9: The burgher behind him, shameful, you deprive us of the clories.
- 28:39Speaker 9: I must insist.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Turning his chat toward the burgher respectfully.
- 28:44Speaker 7: Old mule. The verses of all the burrow are not
- 28:47Speaker 7: worth a dwart.
- 28:48Speaker 1: I'm glad to interrupt a lady in the boxes.
- 28:52Speaker 11: A barrow my dear, how dares he venture.

- 29:10Speaker 7: with your sweet smiles, inspire our verse, but criticize it not.
- 29:16Speaker 22: We must give back the entrance phase.
- 29:19Speaker 1: Turning his chat toward the stage.
- 29:21Speaker 7: Bellos, you make the first intelligent remark, Would I rend
- 29:26Speaker 7: Thespi's sacred mantle? Nay?
- 29:29Speaker 1: He rises and throws the bag on the stage.
- 29:32Speaker 7: Catch then the purse, I throw and hold your peace, ah.
- 29:38Speaker 1: Catching the puse dexterously and veighing it.

- 29:49Speaker 26: a pack.
- 29:50Speaker 22: Clear out the hole, get you all gone at once.
- 29:53Speaker 1: The people begin to go out, while Serano looks on
- 29:56Speaker 1: with satisfaction, But the crowd soon stop, on hearing the
- 30:00Speaker 1: following scene and remind that they are the women who,
- 30:03Speaker 1: with their mantles on, are already standing up in the boxes,
- 30:07Speaker 1: stop to listen and finally reseat themselves. Libre to Serrano,

- 35:56Speaker 7: you of wit or letters, the least jot, but o
- 35:59Speaker 7: most lamentable man. Of wit, you never had an atom,
- 36:03Speaker 7: and of letters you have three letters only they spell
- 36:08Speaker 7: A S S as. And had you had the necessary
- 36:12Speaker 7: wit to serve me all the pleasantries I quote before

- 36:54Speaker 7: less gay, I would not sell you forth half washed
- 36:57Speaker 7: out affront upon my cheek. A conscience, yellow eyed, bilious
- 37:02Speaker 7: from its sodden sleep, a ruffled honor, scruples grimed and dull.
- 37:06Speaker 7: I show no bravery of shining gems. Truth, independence are
- 37:11Speaker 7: my fluttering plumes. Tis not my form. I lace to
- 37:14Speaker 7: make me slim, but brace my soul with efforts as
- 37:18Speaker 7: with stays covered with exploits, not with ribbon knots my

- 45:14Speaker 1: Insolence finishing is nacaroon enormous? The cardinal radiant?
- 45:20Speaker 7: The cardinal was there, must have thought it original if

- 45:27Speaker 7: him that I should marrow a brother Arthur's play.
- 45:30Speaker 5: You make too many enemies by far.
- 45:33Speaker 1: Eating as grapes.
- 45:34Speaker 7: How many think you I have made tonight?
- 45:37Speaker 5: Forty no less, not counting ladies. Count Montflorie first the bourgeois,
- 45:45Speaker 5: then de Guiche, the Viscount Borrow the academy.
- 45:49Speaker 7: Enough I am more enjoyed.
- 45:51Speaker 5: But these strange ways, where will I lead you? At
- 45:54Speaker 5: the end? Explain your system.
- 45:57Speaker 7: Come, I in a labyrinth, was lost, too many different
- 46:02Speaker 7: paths to choose. I took, which, oh, by far the
- 46:07Speaker 7: simplest path, decided to be admirable in.
- 46:11Speaker 1: All shrugging his shoulders.
- 46:13Speaker 7: So be it.
- 46:14Speaker 5: But the motive of your hate de Montflorie, Come tell me.
- 46:19Speaker 7: Rising this silinus, big bellied course, still deems himself apperil,
- 46:26Speaker 7: a danger to the love of lovely ladies. And while
- 46:29Speaker 7: he sputters out his actor's part, makes sheep's eyes at
- 46:34Speaker 7: their boxes, goggling frog. I hate him since the evening
- 46:39Speaker 7: he presumed to raise his eyes to hers, beseemed I
- 46:42Speaker 7: saw a slug crawl slavery, or a flower's.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Petils stupefied, How now, what can it be? Laughing bitterly
- 46:54Speaker 1: that I should love?
- 46:55Speaker 7: Changing his tone, I love, And may I know you
- 47:00Speaker 7: never said, come now, bethink you the fond hope to
- 47:04Speaker 7: be beloved eaten by some poor, graceless lady is by
- 47:09Speaker 7: this nose of mine. For I bereft me. This lengthy
- 47:14Speaker 7: knows which or where'er I will pokes yet a quarter
- 47:17Speaker 7: mile ahead of me. But I may love, and who
- 47:21Speaker 7: tis fate's decree? I love the fairest. How were it
- 47:25Speaker 7: otherwise the fairest I, the fairest of the world, most brilliant,
- 47:32Speaker 7: most refined, most golden haired.
- 47:36Speaker 5: Who is this lady?
- 47:37Speaker 7: She's a danger, mortal, all unsuspicious, full of charms, unconscious
- 47:43Speaker 7: like a sweet, perfumed rose, a snare of nature within
- 47:49Speaker 7: whose petals Cupid lurks in ambush. He who has seen
- 47:54Speaker 7: her smile, has known perfection, instilling into trifles grace's essence,
- 47:59Speaker 7: divinity in every careless gesture. Not Venus itself can mount
- 48:04Speaker 7: her conch blown seaward as she can step into her
- 48:08Speaker 7: chase of potiers, nor Diane Fleet across the woods spring
- 48:14Speaker 7: flowered light as my lady, or the stones of Paris Sopristi.
- 48:20Speaker 7: All is clear as spiderwebs. Your cousin Madeleine Robin rock
- 48:27Speaker 7: sand well, but so much the better. Tell her so
- 48:31Speaker 7: she saw your triumph here this ready night. Look well
- 48:34Speaker 7: at me, then tell me with what hope this vile
- 48:37Speaker 7: protuberance can inspire my heart. I do not lull me
- 48:41Speaker 7: with illusions, Yet at times I'm weak in evening hours,
- 48:46Speaker 7: dim I enter some fair pleasance, perfumed sweet with my poor,
- 48:51Speaker 7: ugly devil of a nose. I scent springs essence in
- 48:54Speaker 7: the silver rays. I see some night a lady on
- 48:58Speaker 7: his arm, and think to unter thusneath the moonshine, I
- 49:03Speaker 7: were fain to have my lady too beside thought sores
- 49:07Speaker 7: to ecstasy, Oh sudden fall, the shadow of my profile
- 49:11Speaker 7: on the wall, My friend, my friend. At times tis hard,
- 49:17Speaker 7: tis bitter to feel my loneliness, my own ill favor.
- 49:21Speaker 21: Shaking his hand, you weep, No, never.
- 49:24Speaker 7: Think how vilely suited adown this nose a tear, it's
- 49:28Speaker 7: passage tracing. I never will, while of myself I'm master.
- 49:32Speaker 7: Let the divinity of tears, their beauty be wedded to
- 49:36Speaker 7: such common, ugly grossness, nothing more solemn than a tear sublimer.
- 49:44Speaker 7: And I would not, by weeping turn to laughter the
- 49:47Speaker 7: grave emotion that the tear engenders.
- 49:50Speaker 5: Never be sad. What's love? A chance of fortune?
- 49:55Speaker 7: Shaking his head, look, I a caesar to woo Cleopatra,
- 49:59Speaker 7: I tito to aspire to bear anci your.
- 50:03Speaker 5: Courage and your wit. The little maid who offered you refreshment,
- 50:06Speaker 5: even now her eyes did not abhoy you.
- 50:09Speaker 1: You saw well impressed, true, well?
- 50:12Speaker 5: How then I saw roxane herself was death pale as
- 50:17Speaker 5: she watched the jewel tale, her heart, her fancy already caught.
- 50:22Speaker 7: Put it to the touch that she may mock my face.
- 50:25Speaker 7: That is the one thing on this earth.
- 50:27Speaker 1: I fear introducing someone to Serrano, Sir. Someone asks for

- 52:00Speaker 7: I live.
- 52:01Speaker 1: Now you be calm, I hope beside himself for joy.
- 52:05Speaker 7: Calm, I now calm. I'll be phrenetic, frantic, raving mad.
- 52:10Speaker 7: Oh for an army to attack a host. I have
- 52:13Speaker 7: ten hearts in my breast, a score of arms. Note
- 52:16Speaker 7: worse to cleave in Twain no giants.
- 52:19Speaker 1: Now for a few moments, the shadows of the actors

- 53:08Speaker 8: To get to my own house, I must pass there.

- 53:15Speaker 8: your roof.
- 53:16Speaker 7: Allow a hundred men, you're sleep in your own bed.

- 1:27:37Speaker 7: cadets of Gascony, husbands and lovers are game for you?
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: Seated with a hearty carelessness in an arm chat brought

- 1:28:01Speaker 5: A word to him, for you read heavens.
- 1:28:04Speaker 21: I imagine you have rhymed five acts.
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: Or so in Serrano's ear, your pray, your ugly pin.
- 1:28:11Speaker 5: There you see it staged at last, take.
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: Them to him, beginning to be tempted and attracted in.

- 1:28:24Speaker 21: or two at most.
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: Whose face defense at once impossible.
- 1:28:30Speaker 7: My blood congeals to think that other hand should change
- 1:28:34Speaker 7: a comma's dot.
- 1:28:36Speaker 21: But when a verse approves itself to him, he pays it, dear,
- 1:28:40Speaker 21: good friend.
- 1:28:42Speaker 7: He pays less dear than I myself. When a verse
- 1:28:46Speaker 7: pleases me, I pay myself and sing it to myself.
- 1:28:51Speaker 7: You are proud, really, you have noticed.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: That second cadet entering with a string of old, battered,
- 1:28:58Speaker 1: poomed beaver hats full of holes, slung on his sword.
- 1:29:03Speaker 8: See Sarah now this morning on the key, what strange,
- 1:29:06Speaker 8: bright feathered game we caught? The hats are the fugitives.

- 1:29:14Speaker 17: He who laid that ambush faith, But of course, and swear.
- 1:29:18Speaker 7: Who was it?
- 1:29:19Speaker 21: I myself the laugh that stops. I charge them work
- 1:29:26Speaker 21: too dirty for my sword to punish, and chast stummies
- 1:29:30Speaker 21: A rhymster.
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: Sort constrained silence in a low voice to Serrano, showing
- 1:29:37Speaker 1: him the beavers what to do with them.
- 1:29:40Speaker 8: They're full of grease, A stew.
- 1:29:43Speaker 1: Taking the sword and with a salute, dropping the hats
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: at de Guiche's.
- 1:29:48Speaker 7: Feet, Sir, pray be good enough to render them back
- 1:29:52Speaker 7: to your friends.

- 1:30:17Speaker 21: I cancel you to study, appearing at back my lord's chair.
- 1:30:22Speaker 21: The windmill chapter bowing, chapter the thirteenth. For when one
- 1:30:27Speaker 21: silt stains windmills, it may.
- 1:30:30Speaker 7: Chance tiltie gainst those who change with every breeze, that.
- 1:30:35Speaker 21: The windmill sails may sweep you with their arm down
- 1:30:39Speaker 21: in the mire.
- 1:30:41Speaker 7: Or upward to the stars.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: De Guiche goes out and mons into his chair. The
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: other lords go away, whispering together. Libre goes to the
- 1:30:52Speaker 1: door with them. The crowd disperses, seeing eight serrano Libre.
- 1:30:57Speaker 1: The cadets who are eating and drinking at tables left
- 1:31:01Speaker 1: and right, bowing mockingly to those who go out without
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: darting to salute him.
- 1:31:06Speaker 7: Gentlemen, gentlemen coming back despairingly.
- 1:31:11Speaker 5: There's a fine coil.
- 1:31:13Speaker 7: Oh, scold away.
- 1:31:15Speaker 5: At least you will agree that to annihilate each chance
- 1:31:18Speaker 5: of fate exaggerates.
- 1:31:20Speaker 7: Yes, I exaggerate clumphantly. Ah, But for principle example two,
- 1:31:28Speaker 7: I think tis well. Thus to exaggerate, Oh.
- 1:31:32Speaker 5: Lay aside that pride of musketeer, fortune and glory.
- 1:31:36Speaker 7: Wake you hi, and then seek a protector. Choose a
- 1:31:41Speaker 7: patron out, and like the crawling ivy round a tree
- 1:31:44Speaker 7: that licks the bark to gain the trunk support, climb
- 1:31:48Speaker 7: high by creeping roose instead of force. No, gram Mercy, HUATAI,
- 1:31:54Speaker 7: like all the rest, dedicate verse to bankers, play buffoon
- 1:31:58Speaker 7: and cringing. Hope to see it as a smile, not
- 1:32:01Speaker 7: disapproving on a patron's lips. Gramercy, no, what learn to
- 1:32:07Speaker 7: swallow toads with frame a weary climbing stairs, a skin
- 1:32:13Speaker 7: grown grimed and horny here about the knees, and acrobat
- 1:32:19Speaker 7: like teach my back to bend. No Grammercy. Or double
- 1:32:25Speaker 7: faced and sly run with the hair while hunting with
- 1:32:28Speaker 7: the hounds, and oily tongued to win the oil praise,
- 1:32:35Speaker 7: flatter the great man to his very nose. No Gramercy.
- 1:32:41Speaker 7: Steal soft from lap to lap a little great man
- 1:32:45Speaker 7: in a circle small, or navigate with madrigals for sales
- 1:32:50Speaker 7: flown gently windward by the old lady's size. No Grammercy.
- 1:32:55Speaker 7: Bribe kindly editors to spread abroad my verses Mercy, or
- 1:33:02Speaker 7: try to be elected as the pope of tavern councils
- 1:33:06Speaker 7: held by imbeciles. No Grammercy. Toil to gain reputation by
- 1:33:13Speaker 7: one small sonnet instead of making many No Gramercy, or
- 1:33:18Speaker 7: flatter sorry bunglers, be terrorized by every painting paper, say ceaselessly,

- 1:33:43Speaker 7: petitions up, No Grammercy, and no and no again, but
- 1:33:51Speaker 7: seeing dream laugh, co lightly, solitary, free, with eyes that
- 1:33:57Speaker 7: look straightforward, fearlys voice, to cock your beaver, just the
- 1:34:03Speaker 7: way you choose, or yes or no, show fight, or
- 1:34:07Speaker 7: turn a rhyme, to work without one thought of gain
- 1:34:12Speaker 7: or fame, to realize that journey to the moon. Never
- 1:34:16Speaker 7: to pen a line that has not sprung straight from
- 1:34:20Speaker 7: the heart within, embracing them modesty, say to oneself, good,
- 1:34:25Speaker 7: my friend, be thou content with flowers, fruit, nay leaves,
- 1:34:30Speaker 7: but pluck them from no garden, but thine own. And then,
- 1:34:36Speaker 7: if glory come by chance your way, to pay no
- 1:34:39Speaker 7: tribute unto Caesar, none, but keep the merit all your own.
- 1:34:45Speaker 7: In short, disdaining tendrils of the parasite, to be content
- 1:34:51Speaker 7: if neither oak nor elm, not to mount high perchance,
- 1:34:56Speaker 7: but mount alone alone.
- 1:34:58Speaker 5: And if you will, but not with hand against every man.
- 1:35:02Speaker 5: How when the Devil's name have you conceived this lunatic idea?
- 1:35:07Speaker 5: To make foods for yourself at every turn.
- 1:35:09Speaker 7: By dint of seeing you at every turn, make friends
- 1:35:13Speaker 7: and fawn upon your frequent friends with mouth wide, smiling,
- 1:35:17Speaker 7: slid from ear to ear, I passed still unsaluted, joyfully,
- 1:35:23Speaker 7: and cry what.
- 1:35:25Speaker 29: Ho another enemy lunacy?
- 1:35:29Speaker 7: Well, what if it be my vice, my pleasure to displease?
- 1:35:34Speaker 7: To love men hate me? Ah, friend of mine, Believe me,
- 1:35:38Speaker 7: I march better neath the cross fire of glances inimical,
- 1:35:43Speaker 7: how droll the stains one sees on fine laced doublets
- 1:35:48Speaker 7: from gall of envy, where the poltroons dribble. The enervating
- 1:35:53Speaker 7: friendship which enfolds you is like an open laced Italian
- 1:35:57Speaker 7: collar floating around your neck in woman's fashion. One is
- 1:36:01Speaker 7: at ease. Thus, but let's prow the carriage. The forehead,
- 1:36:06Speaker 7: free from mainstay or coercion, bends here, there, everywhere, But
- 1:36:11Speaker 7: I embracing hatred. She lends forbidding, stiffly fluted, the rough,
- 1:36:19Speaker 7: starched folds that hold the head so rigid. Each enemy
- 1:36:23Speaker 7: another fold, a gopher who adds a constraint and adds
- 1:36:28Speaker 7: a ray of glory for hatred, like the rough worn
- 1:36:32Speaker 7: by the Spanish, grips like a vice, but frames you
- 1:36:36Speaker 7: like a halo.
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: After a silence, speaking is arm.
- 1:36:40Speaker 5: Speak, proud, aloud and bitter in my ear. Wish for
- 1:36:44Speaker 5: me simply this. She loves thee not hush.
- 1:36:48Speaker 1: Christian is just hinted and mingled with the cadets, who
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: do not speak to him. He has seated himself at
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: a table where he deserves. In scene nine Serrano Libre,
- 1:37:00Speaker 1: the Cadets, Christian, the noivelet, third cadet, seated at the table,
- 1:37:04Speaker 1: glass in hand. Sirano turns round the story in its time.
- 1:37:09Speaker 1: He goes up on Lebreisan. They talk in low voices,
- 1:37:14Speaker 1: rising and coming down.
- 1:37:15Speaker 28: The story of the fray twell, lesson well.
- 1:37:19Speaker 1: He stops before the table where Christian is seated.
- 1:37:22Speaker 28: This timid young apprentice, raising his head.
- 1:37:25Speaker 8: Prentiss, who this sickly northern greenhorn.
- 1:37:29Speaker 3: Sickly heart, mischeur de Denville, this in your ear? There's
- 1:37:36Speaker 3: somewhat here one no more dares to name than to
- 1:37:40Speaker 3: say rope to one whose sire was hanged?
- 1:37:45Speaker 14: What may that be?
- 1:37:46Speaker 23: See here?
- 1:37:47Speaker 1: He puts his finger three times mysteriously on his nose.
- 1:37:51Speaker 3: Do you understand, oh, says the hush.
- 1:37:55Speaker 7: Oh.
- 1:37:56Speaker 26: Never breathe that word unless you'd reckon with him yonder.
- 1:37:59Speaker 1: He points to Sirrano, who is talking with lebra second Gascon,
- 1:38:03Speaker 1: who has meanwhile come up noiselessly to sit on the table,
- 1:38:07Speaker 1: whispering behind him.
- 1:38:08Speaker 22: Hark. He put two snuffling men to death in rage
- 1:38:12Speaker 22: for the sole reason they spoke through their.
- 1:38:14Speaker 1: Nose, darting on all fours from under the table where
- 1:38:18Speaker 1: he had crept.
- 1:38:19Speaker 26: And if you would not perish in the flower of youth,
- 1:38:22Speaker 26: oh mention not the fatal cartilage.
- 1:38:25Speaker 22: Clapping him on the shoulder a word, a gesture for
- 1:38:29Speaker 22: the indiscreet. His handkerchief may prove his winding sheet.
- 1:38:33Speaker 1: Silence, all with cross darms look at Christian. He rises
- 1:38:38Speaker 1: and goes over to Carbon de castel Jalou, who is
- 1:38:41Speaker 1: talking to an officer, and feigns to see nothing. Captain
- 1:38:45Speaker 1: turning and looking at him from head to foot.
- 1:38:48Speaker 10: Sir pray, what skills it best to do to save
- 1:38:51Speaker 10: nurse his swagger?
- 1:38:52Speaker 6: Give them proof that one may be a northerner, yet brave.
- 1:38:55Speaker 1: He turns us back on him. I thank you to Sirrano.
- 1:38:59Speaker 28: Now the tail.
- 1:39:03Speaker 1: Coming toward them. The tail or bring their tools up
- 1:39:06Speaker 1: and grew round him, listening eagerly. Christian is astride a chair.
- 1:39:11Speaker 5: Wow.
- 1:39:13Speaker 7: I went all alone to meet the band. The moon
- 1:39:16Speaker 7: was shining clocklike full in the sky, when suddenly some
- 1:39:22Speaker 7: careful clockwright pasted a cloud of cotton wool across the
- 1:39:26Speaker 7: case that held the silver watch and presto high. The
- 1:39:31Speaker 7: light was inky black, and all the keys were hidden
- 1:39:35Speaker 7: in the murky dark kad zooks. One could see nothing
- 1:39:40Speaker 7: further n one's nose.
- 1:39:42Speaker 1: Silence. All slowly rise, looking in terror at Serranu, who
- 1:39:47Speaker 1: has stopped, dumbfounded pass Who on God's earth is that?
- 1:39:53Speaker 1: It is a man who joined today, making a step
- 1:39:56Speaker 1: toward Christian today.
- 1:39:59Speaker 6: Yes, his name is the Baron de Novelle.
- 1:40:03Speaker 24: Checking himself good, it is well?
- 1:40:06Speaker 1: He turns, piel, flushes, makes as if to fall on Christian.
- 1:40:11Speaker 1: I he controls himself.
- 1:40:13Speaker 7: What said I?
- 1:40:14Speaker 24: For the burst of rag more dews.
- 1:40:17Speaker 1: Than continues calmly that it was dark astonishment. The cannets
- 1:40:22Speaker 1: reasied themselves, staring at them on.
- 1:40:25Speaker 7: I went thinking for a knavish cause, I may provoke
- 1:40:29Speaker 7: some great man, some great prince, who certainly could break
- 1:40:33Speaker 7: my nose.
- 1:40:34Speaker 1: Everyone starts up. Christian balances on his chair in a
- 1:40:38Speaker 1: choked voice.
- 1:40:39Speaker 7: My teeth, who would break my teeth? And I, imprudent,
- 1:40:45Speaker 7: like was poking my nose, my finger in the crack
- 1:40:50Speaker 7: between the tree and bark. He may prove strong and wrap.
- 1:40:54Speaker 1: Me over the nose, wiping his forehead.
- 1:40:58Speaker 7: Or the knuckles eye. But I cried forward gascon duty
- 1:41:03Speaker 7: calls on Sierra No, and thus I ventured on. When
- 1:41:08Speaker 7: from the shadow came a crack of the nose, I
- 1:41:11Speaker 7: parry it, find myself.
- 1:41:14Speaker 1: Nose to nose, bonding on to him.
- 1:41:17Speaker 7: Heaven and earth.
- 1:41:18Speaker 1: All the gascons leap up to sea. But when he
- 1:41:21Speaker 1: is close to Christia, he controls himself and continues.
- 1:41:25Speaker 7: With a hundred brawling thoughts, who stay.
- 1:41:30Speaker 1: White but smiling.
- 1:41:31Speaker 7: Onions randy cups. I leapt out, head well.
- 1:41:36Speaker 14: Down, nosing the winds.
- 1:41:38Speaker 7: I charge gore too impale. One run him through. One
- 1:41:44Speaker 7: aims at me, puff, and I parry, bursting out, Great God,
- 1:41:48Speaker 7: out all of you.
- 1:41:50Speaker 1: The candets rush to the nose.
- 1:41:52Speaker 7: The tiger awakes every man out. Leave me alone with him.
- 1:41:58Speaker 8: We shall find him minced, fine, minced in a hash
- 1:42:02Speaker 8: and a big pasty.
- 1:42:03Speaker 18: I am turning pale and curl up like a napkin,
- 1:42:06Speaker 18: limp and white.
- 1:42:08Speaker 6: Let us be gone.
- 1:42:09Speaker 22: He will not leave a crumb.
- 1:42:11Speaker 28: I die afright to think what will pass here?
- 1:42:13Speaker 1: Shutting door right, something too horrible. All I've gone out
- 1:42:19Speaker 1: by different doors, some by the staircase. Serrano and Christia
- 1:42:24Speaker 1: are face to face, looking at each other for a moment, scene.
- 1:42:28Speaker 7: And embrace me. Now, sir, you are brave. No, but nay,
- 1:42:34Speaker 7: I insist, pray, tell me come embrace. I am her brother,
- 1:42:39Speaker 7: who's brother hers in faith rocks hands.
- 1:42:43Speaker 1: Crushing up to him.
- 1:42:45Speaker 10: Oh, heaven's her.
- 1:42:46Speaker 7: Brother, cousin brother, the same thing.
- 1:42:48Speaker 10: And she has told you, Oh she loves me, say
- 1:42:52Speaker 10: maybe taking his hands, how glad I am to me?
- 1:42:55Speaker 7: You, sir? That may be called a sudden sentiment?
- 1:42:58Speaker 1: I ask your pardon, looking at him with his hand
- 1:43:01Speaker 1: on his shoulder.
- 1:43:02Speaker 10: True, he's fair, the villain, Ah, sir, if you but
- 1:43:06Speaker 10: knew my admiration. But all those noses, no, I take
- 1:43:11Speaker 10: them back.
- 1:43:12Speaker 7: Roxanne expects a letter.
- 1:43:14Speaker 10: Woes a day. Oh I am lost if I butt
- 1:43:17Speaker 10: out my lips, Why so I am a fool? Could
- 1:43:20Speaker 10: die for shame.
- 1:43:22Speaker 7: None is a fool who knows himself a fool. And
- 1:43:25Speaker 7: you did not attack me like a fool.
- 1:43:27Speaker 10: Bah one finds battle cry to lead the assaults. I
- 1:43:31Speaker 10: have a certain military wit, But before women, I can
- 1:43:35Speaker 10: but hold my tongue. Their eyes true when I pass,
- 1:43:38Speaker 10: their eyes are kind.
- 1:43:40Speaker 7: And when you stay, their hearts methinks are kinder.
- 1:43:44Speaker 10: No, For I am one of those men tongue tied
- 1:43:48Speaker 10: I know, who can never tell their love.
- 1:43:52Speaker 7: And I meseems had nature been more kind, more careful
- 1:43:56Speaker 7: when she fashioned me, had been one of those men
- 1:44:00Speaker 7: who well could speak their love?
- 1:44:03Speaker 10: Oh, to express one's thoughts with facile grace, to.
- 1:44:06Speaker 7: Be a musketeer with handsome face.
- 1:44:09Speaker 10: Roxane is precious. I'm sure to prove a disappointment to
- 1:44:13Speaker 10: her looking at them.
- 1:44:14Speaker 7: Had I but such an interpreter to speak my soul eloquence?
- 1:44:19Speaker 10: Where finds it that I lend?
- 1:44:21Speaker 7: If you lend me your handsome victor charms lended, we
- 1:44:25Speaker 7: make a hero of romance. How so think you you
- 1:44:29Speaker 7: can repeat what things I daily teach your tongue?
- 1:44:31Speaker 8: What do you mean?
- 1:44:33Speaker 7: Roxanne shall never have a disillusion? Say, wilt thou that
- 1:44:37Speaker 7: we woo her double handed? Wilt thou that we two
- 1:44:41Speaker 7: woo her both together? Filst thou passing from my leather
- 1:44:46Speaker 7: doublet through thy laced doublet all my soul inspiring?
- 1:44:50Speaker 10: But serrano, will you, I say, I fear.
- 1:44:54Speaker 7: Since by yourself you fear to chill her heart? Will
- 1:44:58Speaker 7: you to kindle all her her heart to flame? Wed
- 1:45:02Speaker 7: into one? My phrases and your lips.
- 1:45:06Speaker 10: Your eyes flash will you? Will it please you?
- 1:45:09Speaker 7: Sir?
- 1:45:09Speaker 10: Give you such pleasure?
- 1:45:11Speaker 1: Madly it then, calmly business like it.
- 1:45:15Speaker 7: Would amuse me. It is an enterprise to tempt a poet.
- 1:45:21Speaker 7: Will you complete me? And let me complete you? You
- 1:45:24Speaker 7: march victorious. I go in your shadow. Let me be
- 1:45:28Speaker 7: wit for you be you, my beauty.
- 1:45:31Speaker 10: The letter that she waits for. Even now I never
- 1:45:34Speaker 10: can taking.
- 1:45:35Speaker 1: Out the letter he had written.
- 1:45:37Speaker 7: See here it is your letter? What take it? Look
- 1:45:42Speaker 7: it wants but the address, But I fear nothing. Send
- 1:45:46Speaker 7: it it will suit but you, Oh, we have our
- 1:45:51Speaker 7: pockets full, We poets of love letters written to Chloe's
- 1:45:56Speaker 7: Daphne's creations of our noddle heads are lay loves, phantasms
- 1:46:01Speaker 7: of our brains, green fancies blown into soap bubbles. Come
- 1:46:06Speaker 7: take it and change feigned love words into true. I breathed,
- 1:46:10Speaker 7: my sighs and moans halfhazard Wise, call all these wandering
- 1:46:15Speaker 7: lovebirds home to nest. You'll see that I was in
- 1:46:19Speaker 7: these lettered lines eloquent, all the more the less sincere
- 1:46:24Speaker 7: take it and make an end.
- 1:46:25Speaker 10: We're not well to change some words Brita and haphazard. Wise,
- 1:46:29Speaker 10: will it fit Roxanne.
- 1:46:31Speaker 7: It will fit like a glove. But oh, credulity of love.
- 1:46:35Speaker 7: Roxane will think each word inspired by herself.
- 1:46:40Speaker 1: My friends, He throws himself into Serrano's arms. They remind us,

- 1:46:57Speaker 1: He puts his head in Why entering and seeing Serrano
- 1:47:01Speaker 1: and Christian embracing. Oh, this passes all consternation. The musketeer mockingly.
- 1:47:10Speaker 6: Oh, our demon has become a saint. Struck on one
- 1:47:14Speaker 6: nostro lo he turns the other.

- 1:47:35Speaker 13: of notice.
- 1:47:36Speaker 1: Here coughing is head clove heads, general delight. The cadets
- 1:47:42Speaker 1: have found the old Serrano again. They turned some assaults,
- 1:47:46Speaker 1: curtain and off Act two, Act three Rock songs Kiss
- 1:47:54Speaker 1: a small squire in the old Marais Old houses perspective
- 1:48:00Speaker 1: of little streets. On the right, Roxa's house and the
- 1:48:05Speaker 1: wall of her garden overhung with thick foliage, window and
- 1:48:09Speaker 1: balcony over the door, a bench in front. From the
- 1:48:12Speaker 1: bench and the stones jetting out of the wall, it
- 1:48:15Speaker 1: is easy to climb to the balcony in front of
- 1:48:18Speaker 1: an old house in the same style of brake and stone.
- 1:48:21Speaker 1: The knocker of this door is bandaged with linen like
- 1:48:24Speaker 1: a sore thumb. At the rising of the curtain, the
- 1:48:28Speaker 1: Duena is seated on the bench. The window on Roxan's
- 1:48:31Speaker 1: balcony is wide open. Raganu is standing near the door
- 1:48:35Speaker 1: in a sort of livery. He has just finished relating
- 1:48:38Speaker 1: something to the Duena and is wiping his eyes. Seene
- 1:48:43Speaker 1: one Raganu, the Duena, then Roxa Syranu, and two pages.
- 1:48:50Speaker 18: And then off she went with a musketeer. Deserted and
- 1:48:53Speaker 18: ruined too. I would make an end of all, and
- 1:48:56Speaker 18: so hanged myself. My last breath was drawn. Then in
- 1:49:00Speaker 18: comes Monsieur de Bergerac. He cuts me down and begs
- 1:49:03Speaker 18: his cousin to take me for her steward.
- 1:49:05Speaker 8: Well, but how came it about that you were thus ruined?
- 1:49:09Speaker 18: Oh lies loved the warriors, and I love the poets.
- 1:49:13Speaker 18: What cakes there were that Apollo chanced to leave were
- 1:49:15Speaker 18: quickly snapped up by Mars. Thus Ruin was not long a.
- 1:49:19Speaker 1: Coming, rising and calling up to the open.
- 1:49:22Speaker 8: Window, Roxanne, are you ready?
- 1:49:25Speaker 1: They wait for us, Roxanne's voice from the window. I will,
- 1:49:28Speaker 1: but put me on a cloak to Raguanau, showing him
- 1:49:32Speaker 1: the door opposite.

- 1:49:37Speaker 8: them all there to day, the precieus, the poets. They

- 1:49:47Speaker 8: calling up to the window, Roxanne, and you come not
- 1:49:50Speaker 8: down quickly? We shall miss the discourse on the tender passion.
- 1:49:53Speaker 16: I come, I come.
- 1:49:55Speaker 1: A sound of screamed instruments approaching Sirrano's voice behind the scenes,
- 1:50:01Speaker 1: singing Lana they serenadas, followed by two pages with archloots.
- 1:50:07Speaker 7: I tell you they are demi semiquavers, demi semi fool.
- 1:50:12Speaker 18: Ironically, you know, then, Sir, to distinguish between semiquavers and
- 1:50:17Speaker 18: demi semi quavers.
- 1:50:20Speaker 7: Is not every disciple of Gesendhi a musician.
- 1:50:22Speaker 1: Playing and singing, whoa snatching the lud from him, and
- 1:50:28Speaker 1: going on with the phrase, in.
- 1:50:30Speaker 7: Proof of which I can continue, La la, la.
- 1:50:33Speaker 1: La, appearing on the balcony, What tis you going on

- 1:51:01Speaker 7: disputing a nice point in grammar contradictions raised hotly, tis so, no,

- 1:51:21Speaker 7: I will wager you a day's music, says he, and
- 1:51:25Speaker 7: lost it. Thus see you till Phoebus's chariot starts once again.
- 1:51:31Speaker 7: These lute twangers are at my heels, seeing all I do,
- 1:51:36Speaker 7: hearing all I say, and accompanying all with melody. Twas
- 1:51:41Speaker 7: pleasant at first, but if faith I begin to weary

- 1:52:22Speaker 11: how well I love him?
- 1:52:24Speaker 7: Smiling Christian has so brilliant a wit.
- 1:52:28Speaker 11: Brighter than even your own cousin.
- 1:52:30Speaker 7: Be it so with all my heart?
- 1:52:33Speaker 11: Ah Me thinks twere impossible that there could breathe a
- 1:52:36Speaker 11: man on this earth skilled to say as sweetly as
- 1:52:39Speaker 11: he all the pretty nothings that mean so much, that
- 1:52:43Speaker 11: mean all. At times his mind seems far away, the
- 1:52:47Speaker 11: muse says not, and then presto, he speaks bewitchingly, enchantingly, incredulously. No,
- 1:52:55Speaker 11: no fine, that is ill said. But love manver thus,

- 1:56:52Speaker 21: one of the cadets, one new villain, Villaire.
- 1:56:58Speaker 11: Of high stature, fair haired iy, a redheaded fellow.

- 1:57:40Speaker 11: your method. Would you enrage man of his kind, cheat
- 1:57:43Speaker 11: him of his chance of mortal danger? And you punish

- 1:57:58Speaker 11: gnaw their thick fists that they are deprived of the battle.
- 1:58:02Speaker 11: So are you best avenged?
- 1:58:04Speaker 21: You love me? Then a little I would fain seeing you?
- 1:58:10Speaker 21: Thus espousely calls Roxanne. Believe it a proof of love?

- 1:58:26Speaker 21: This one tis that of the cadets.
- 1:58:30Speaker 1: He puts it in his pocket.
- 1:58:31Speaker 21: This I keep laughing, ha ha ha cir no no,

- 1:58:42Speaker 1: Ladies, sometimes coming close to her.
- 1:58:46Speaker 21: Oh, how I love you to distraction. Listen tonight. True
- 1:58:52Speaker 21: I ought to start, But how leave you now that
- 1:58:57Speaker 21: I feel your heart is touched hard? Bar In the
- 1:59:01Speaker 21: Rue d'Orleans is a convent founded by Father Athanasius, the
- 1:59:06Speaker 21: syndic of the Capuchins. True that no layman may enter,
- 1:59:10Speaker 21: But I can settle that with the good fathers. Their
- 1:59:14Speaker 21: habit sleeves are wide enough to hide me in tis
- 1:59:17Speaker 21: they who serve Richelieu's private chapel. And from respect to
- 1:59:22Speaker 21: the uncle, fear the nephew, all will deem me gone.
- 1:59:26Speaker 21: I will come to you masked. Give me leave to
- 1:59:30Speaker 21: wait till tomorrow. Sweet lady fanciful.
- 1:59:33Speaker 11: But if this be rumored, your glory bah, but the siege.
- 1:59:39Speaker 21: Erras twill take its chance. Grant but permission, No, give
- 1:59:45Speaker 21: me leave.
- 1:59:47Speaker 11: It were my duty to forbid you.
- 1:59:50Speaker 1: Ah, you must go aside.
- 1:59:53Speaker 11: Christiansty is here allowed. I would have you heroic and.
- 1:59:58Speaker 21: One, oh heavenly word you love?
- 2:00:02Speaker 1: Then him for whom I trembled in an ecstasy.
- 2:00:07Speaker 3: Ah, I go.
- 2:00:08Speaker 1: Then he kisses her hand.
- 2:00:10Speaker 21: Are you conchente?
- 2:00:11Speaker 11: Yes, my friend.
- 2:00:13Speaker 1: He goes out, the duena, making behind us back a
- 2:00:16Speaker 1: mocking courtesy, Yes, my friend to the duena.
- 2:00:20Speaker 11: Not a word of what I've done. Sirrano would never
- 2:00:24Speaker 11: pardon me for stealing his fighting from him.
- 2:00:26Speaker 1: She calls toward the house cousin Scene three ROXA the
- 2:00:31Speaker 1: Duena Serrano, we.
- 2:00:33Speaker 11: Are going to Klomire's house.
- 2:00:35Speaker 1: She points to the door opposite.
- 2:00:37Speaker 11: Alcandra and Lessimon are to discourse.
- 2:00:40Speaker 1: Putting a little finger in her ear.
- 2:00:42Speaker 8: Yes, but my little finger tells me we shall miss them.
- 2:00:46Speaker 7: Poor pity to miss such apes.
- 2:00:48Speaker 1: They have come to Colomide's door.
- 2:00:50Speaker 8: Oh see, the knocker is muffled.
- 2:00:52Speaker 1: Up speaking to the knocker.
- 2:00:54Speaker 8: So they have gagged that metal tongue of yours, little
- 2:00:57Speaker 8: noisy one, lest it should disturb the fine orators.
- 2:01:00Speaker 1: She lifts it carefully and knocks with precaution. Seeing that
- 2:01:04Speaker 1: the door opens, let us enter on the threshold to Serrano.
- 2:01:09Speaker 11: If Christian comes, as I feel sure he will bid him, wait.
- 2:01:12Speaker 1: For me quickly. As she is going in, listen, She turns.
- 2:01:16Speaker 7: What mean you to question him on? Is? If you
- 2:01:19Speaker 7: won't tonight? Oh? Eagerly, well say, but you.
- 2:01:24Speaker 11: Will be mute.
- 2:01:25Speaker 7: Mute is a fish.
- 2:01:26Speaker 11: I shall not question him at all, but say, give
- 2:01:29Speaker 11: rein to your fancy. Prepare not your speeches, but speak
- 2:01:33Speaker 11: the thoughts as they come. Speak to me of love,
- 2:01:36Speaker 11: and speak splendidly, smiling.
- 2:01:39Speaker 7: Very good, but secret, secret, not a word.
- 2:01:43Speaker 1: She enters and shuts the door. When the door is shut, bowing.
- 2:01:48Speaker 29: To her a thousand thanks, the door.
- 2:01:51Speaker 1: Opens again, and Rosa puts her head out.
- 2:01:54Speaker 11: Lest she prepare himself the devil.
- 2:01:57Speaker 7: No, no secret.
- 2:01:59Speaker 1: The door shuts Colin Christian. Scene for said, anno Christian,
- 2:02:05Speaker 1: I know all.
- 2:02:06Speaker 7: That is needful. Here's occasion for you to deck yourself
- 2:02:10Speaker 7: with glory. Come lose no time. Put away those sulky looks.
- 2:02:15Speaker 7: Come to your house with me.
- 2:02:16Speaker 32: I'll teach you no why I will wait for Roxanne
- 2:02:20Speaker 32: here how crazy. Come quick with me and learn no No,
- 2:02:25Speaker 32: I say, I am.
- 2:02:27Speaker 10: A weary of these borrowed letters, borrowed love makings. Thus
- 2:02:31Speaker 10: to act apart and tremble all the time. Twas well
- 2:02:34Speaker 10: enough at the beginning. Now I know she loves I
- 2:02:38Speaker 10: fear no longer. I will speak myself.
- 2:02:40Speaker 7: Mercy, And how know you I cannot speak.
- 2:02:43Speaker 10: I am not such a fool. When all this said,
- 2:02:46Speaker 10: I buy your lessons profited. You'll see I shall know
- 2:02:50Speaker 10: how to speak alone. The devil I know at least
- 2:02:53Speaker 10: a clasp her in my arms.
- 2:02:55Speaker 1: Seeing rouxin come on from pramirezos it is she runner.
- 2:03:00Speaker 1: Now leave me not bowing.
- 2:03:03Speaker 7: Speak for yourself, my friend, and take your chance.
- 2:03:07Speaker 1: He disappears behind the garden wall. Scene five, Christia Roxa
- 2:03:13Speaker 1: the Duena coming out of Colomiree's house with a company
- 2:03:17Speaker 1: of friends, whom she leaves bows and goodbyes.
- 2:03:20Speaker 11: Partna weed Alcandra.
- 2:03:23Speaker 1: Gremione, bitterly disappointed we've.
- 2:03:26Speaker 8: Missed the speech. Upon the tender Passion.
- 2:03:29Speaker 1: Goes into Roxann's house, still bowing Arima, doant adieu, all
- 2:03:34Speaker 1: about Roxa and to each other, and then separate, going
- 2:03:38Speaker 1: up different streets. Roxa suddenly seeing Christia you, she goes
- 2:03:42Speaker 1: to him.
- 2:03:43Speaker 11: Evening falls. Let's sit speak on I listen.
- 2:03:50Speaker 1: Sits by her on the bench, a silence. Oh, I
- 2:03:53Speaker 1: love you, shutting her eyes.
- 2:03:56Speaker 11: I speak to me of love.
- 2:03:58Speaker 26: I love thee.
- 2:03:59Speaker 11: That it's the theme. But vary it, I vary it.
- 2:04:04Speaker 11: I love you so, oh, without doubt. And then and
- 2:04:09Speaker 11: then I should.
- 2:04:10Speaker 10: Be oh so glad, so glad if you would love me, Roxanne,
- 2:04:16Speaker 10: tell me so.
- 2:04:17Speaker 1: With the little grimace I hoped for cream, You give
- 2:04:21Speaker 1: me gruel.
- 2:04:23Speaker 11: Say how love possesses you? Oh, utterly, come, come, and
- 2:04:28Speaker 11: not those tangled sentiments your throats.
- 2:04:31Speaker 10: I'd kiss it, Christian, I.
- 2:04:33Speaker 1: Love thee half rising again eagerly her No, no, I
- 2:04:38Speaker 1: love thee, not herself.
- 2:04:41Speaker 11: Tis well, but I adore thee.
- 2:04:43Speaker 1: Rising and going further off.
- 2:04:45Speaker 11: Oh, I am grown stupid, and that displeases me almost
- 2:04:50Speaker 11: as much as twould displease me if you grew ill favored.
- 2:04:53Speaker 11: But rally your poor eloquence, that's flown.
- 2:04:56Speaker 10: I yes, you love me, that I know.
- 2:05:00Speaker 1: She goes toward her house. Oh yet I tell you
- 2:05:04Speaker 1: opening the door.
- 2:05:06Speaker 11: You adore me. I've heard it very oft.
- 2:05:08Speaker 10: No go away, but I would faint.
- 2:05:11Speaker 1: She shuts the door in his face. Serrano, who has
- 2:05:15Speaker 1: re entered unseen. If faith it is successful, Scene six,
- 2:05:20Speaker 1: Christian Serrano. Two pages come to my aid, not I,
- 2:05:25Speaker 1: but I shall die.
- 2:05:26Speaker 10: And I said once I went back her fair favor.
- 2:05:28Speaker 7: And how could I at once? Is the devil's name?
- 2:05:32Speaker 1: Listen you in seizing a psalm.
- 2:05:34Speaker 8: Oh she is there.
- 2:05:36Speaker 1: The window of the balcony is now lighted.
- 2:05:38Speaker 7: Up her window. Oh, I shall die, speak low, I
- 2:05:42Speaker 7: shall die. The night is dark. Well, all can be prepared,
- 2:05:47Speaker 7: although you merit. Not stand there, poor wretch, fronting the balcony.
- 2:05:52Speaker 7: I'll go beneath and prompt your words to you. But
- 2:05:56Speaker 7: hold your tongue.
- 2:05:57Speaker 1: First page, second page, reappearing at back. O hush, He
- 2:06:02Speaker 1: signs to them to speak softly in a low voice.
- 2:06:06Speaker 11: We played the serenade.
- 2:06:07Speaker 7: You bade montfloy go lurking ambush there one at this
- 2:06:12Speaker 7: street corner? And when at that and if a passerby
- 2:06:15Speaker 7: should hear it? Rude? Play you a tune?
- 2:06:18Speaker 24: What tune, sir gasendist gay?
- 2:06:20Speaker 7: If a woman comes for a man sad.
- 2:06:24Speaker 1: The pages disappear, one at each street corner to Christian
- 2:06:28Speaker 1: call her ro San picking up stones and throwing them
- 2:06:32Speaker 1: at the window some pebbles. Wait a while, half opening
- 2:06:36Speaker 1: the casement, Who calls me?
- 2:06:38Speaker 11: I who's that?
- 2:06:40Speaker 10: Christian?
- 2:06:41Speaker 28: Oh you?
- 2:06:42Speaker 10: I would speak with you.
- 2:06:44Speaker 1: Under the balcony to Christian good speak soft and low.
- 2:06:50Speaker 11: No, you speak stupidly, Oh pity may no, you love
- 2:06:55Speaker 11: me no more?
- 2:06:56Speaker 1: Prompt at by Sirrano.
- 2:06:58Speaker 10: You say, great Heaven, I love no more? When I
- 2:07:03Speaker 10: love more and.
- 2:07:04Speaker 1: More Roxa, who was about to shut the casement, pausing.
- 2:07:08Speaker 11: Hold tis a trifle better?
- 2:07:12Speaker 1: I a trifle saimply.
- 2:07:14Speaker 10: Love grew apace rocked by the anxious beating of this
- 2:07:20Speaker 10: poor heart, which the cruel wanton boy took for a cradle.
- 2:07:25Speaker 1: Coming out onto the balcony.
- 2:07:27Speaker 26: That is better.
- 2:07:29Speaker 11: But and if you deem the cupid be so cruel,
- 2:07:33Speaker 11: you should have stifled baby.
- 2:07:35Speaker 10: Love in this cradle, same plea ah, Madam, I essayed,
- 2:07:40Speaker 10: but all in vain. This newborn babe is a young Hercules.
- 2:07:46Speaker 1: Still better sam ply.
- 2:07:49Speaker 10: Thus he strangled in my heart the serpent twains of
- 2:07:53Speaker 10: pride and doubts.
- 2:07:55Speaker 1: Leaning over the balcony, well said, But why so faltering?
- 2:08:01Speaker 11: Has mental palsy seized on your faculty?
- 2:08:03Speaker 1: Imaginative drawing Christian under the balcony and slipping into his place.
- 2:08:08Speaker 7: Give place. This wax is critical.
- 2:08:12Speaker 11: Today your words are hesitating.
- 2:08:14Speaker 1: Immediately Christian in a whisper night has come in the dusk.
- 2:08:19Speaker 7: They grope their way to find your ear, But.
- 2:08:23Speaker 11: My words find no such impediment.
- 2:08:25Speaker 7: They find their way at once. Small wonder that for
- 2:08:29Speaker 7: tis within my heart they find their home. Bethink, how
- 2:08:34Speaker 7: large my heart, how small your ear? And from fair heights,
- 2:08:39Speaker 7: descending words fall fast, But mine must mount, Madam, And
- 2:08:45Speaker 7: that takes time.
- 2:08:46Speaker 11: Meseems that your last words have learned to climb.
- 2:08:50Speaker 7: With practice, such gymnastics grows less hard.
- 2:08:54Speaker 11: In truth, I seem to speak from distant heights.
- 2:08:57Speaker 7: True, far above such a height, toward death. If a
- 2:09:02Speaker 7: hard word from you fell on my heart.
- 2:09:05Speaker 1: Mooing, I will come down no, showing him the bench
- 2:09:09Speaker 1: under the balcony mount, then on the bench, stopping back alone. No,
- 2:09:14Speaker 1: how you will not more and more moved.
- 2:09:17Speaker 7: Stay awhile tis sweet, the rare occasion when our hearts
- 2:09:22Speaker 7: can speak ourselves unseen, unseeing.
- 2:09:26Speaker 11: Why unseen?
- 2:09:28Speaker 7: Ay? It is sweet, half hidden, half revealed. You see
- 2:09:33Speaker 7: the dark folds of my shrouding cloak, and I the
- 2:09:37Speaker 7: glimmering whiteness of your dress. Aye, But a shadow you
- 2:09:41Speaker 7: her radiance? Fair, know you what such a moment holds
- 2:09:45Speaker 7: for me? If ever I were eloquent, you were yet
- 2:09:50Speaker 7: never till to night my speech has sprung straight from
- 2:09:54Speaker 7: my heart as now it springs. Why not till now
- 2:09:58Speaker 7: I spoke halphazard? What your eyes have beams that turn
- 2:10:03Speaker 7: men dizzy? But tonight methinks I shall find speech for
- 2:10:07Speaker 7: the first time.
- 2:10:09Speaker 11: Tis true? Your voice rings with a tone that's.
- 2:10:11Speaker 7: New coming nearer, Aye, a new tone in the tender,
- 2:10:16Speaker 7: sheltering desk. I dare to be myself for once at last?
- 2:10:20Speaker 1: He stops for us.
- 2:10:22Speaker 7: What say I I know not? Oh, pardon me? It
- 2:10:25Speaker 7: thrills me. Tis so sweet, so novel?
- 2:10:28Speaker 11: How so novel?
- 2:10:30Speaker 1: Off as balance, trying to find the thread of his sentence.
- 2:10:34Speaker 7: Ay, to be at last sincere till now my chilled heart,
- 2:10:38Speaker 7: fearing to be mocked, mocked, and for what for its
- 2:10:43Speaker 7: mad beating? Ay, my heart has clothed itself with witty words.
- 2:10:48Speaker 7: Who shroud itself from curious eyes? Impelled at times to
- 2:10:53Speaker 7: aim at a star, I stay my hand, and, fearing ridicule,
- 2:10:58Speaker 7: cull a wild flower.
- 2:11:00Speaker 11: A wild flowers sweet?
- 2:11:02Speaker 7: Aye, But tonight the star.
- 2:11:06Speaker 11: Oh, never have you spoken thus before?
- 2:11:09Speaker 7: If leaving Cupid's arrows quivers torches, we turn to seek
- 2:11:15Speaker 7: for sweeter, fresher things, instead of sipping in a pigmy
- 2:11:20Speaker 7: glass dull fashionable waters. Did we try how the soul
- 2:11:25Speaker 7: slakes its thirst in fearless drought by drinking from the
- 2:11:29Speaker 7: river's flooding brim. But wit, if I have used it
- 2:11:34Speaker 7: to arrest you at the first starting, now, twould be
- 2:11:37Speaker 7: an outrage, an insult to the perfumed night, to nature,
- 2:11:42Speaker 7: to speak fine words that garnish vain love letters. Look up,
- 2:11:47Speaker 7: but at her stars, the quiet heaven will ease our hearts.
- 2:11:51Speaker 7: Of all things artificial, I fear lest amidst the alchemy,
- 2:11:56Speaker 7: were skilled in the truth of sentiment, dissolve and vanish
- 2:12:01Speaker 7: the soul exhausted by these empty pastimes. The gain of
- 2:12:05Speaker 7: fine things be the loss of all things. But wit,
- 2:12:10Speaker 7: I say, in love tis crime, tis hateful, turning frank
- 2:12:16Speaker 7: loving into subtle fencing. At last, the moment comes inevitable.
- 2:12:21Speaker 7: Oh woe for those who never knows at the moment
- 2:12:25Speaker 7: when feeling love exists in us ennobling each well weighed
- 2:12:31Speaker 7: word is futile and soul sadity.
- 2:12:35Speaker 11: Well, if that moment's come for us, suppose it. What
- 2:12:40Speaker 11: words would serve you?
- 2:12:42Speaker 7: Oh, oh, oh, whatever that came to me, even as
- 2:12:48Speaker 7: they came, I'd fling them in a wild cluster, not
- 2:12:52Speaker 7: a careful bouquet. I'd love THEE. I'm mad, I love,
- 2:12:56Speaker 7: I stifle. Thy name is in my heart as in
- 2:13:00Speaker 7: a sheep bell, and as I ever tremble thinking of THEE.
- 2:13:04Speaker 7: Ever the bell shakes, ever thy name ringeth all things
- 2:13:09Speaker 7: of thine I mind, for I love all things. I
- 2:13:14Speaker 7: know that last year, on the twelfth of May, month
- 2:13:17Speaker 7: to walk abroad one day, you changed your hair plaits.
- 2:13:21Speaker 7: I am so used to take your hair for daylight,
- 2:13:24Speaker 7: that like as when the eye stares in the sun's disk,
- 2:13:28Speaker 7: one sees long after a red blot on all things.
- 2:13:34Speaker 7: So when I quit thy beams, my dazzled vision sees
- 2:13:37Speaker 7: upon all things a blonde stain imprinted. Why this is love, indeed,
- 2:13:44Speaker 7: aye true, the feeling which feels me terrible and jealous,
- 2:13:49Speaker 7: truly love, which is ever sad amid its transports love,
- 2:13:55Speaker 7: and yet strangely not a selfish passion. I, for your joy,
- 2:14:00Speaker 7: would gladly lay mine own down, even though you never
- 2:14:05Speaker 7: were to know it. Never if but at times I
- 2:14:09Speaker 7: might far off and lonely. Here's some gay echo of
- 2:14:13Speaker 7: the joy I bought you. Each glance of thine awakes
- 2:14:17Speaker 7: in me a virtue, a novel unknown valor dost begin
- 2:14:23Speaker 7: sweet to understand? So late dost understand me? Feel'st thou
- 2:14:29Speaker 7: my soul here through the darkness mounting too fair, the
- 2:14:35Speaker 7: night too fair, too fair, the moment that I should
- 2:14:41Speaker 7: speak thus, and that you should hearken too fair, in
- 2:14:47Speaker 7: moments when my hopes rose proudest I never hoped such garden.
- 2:14:54Speaker 7: Naught is left me but to die. Now have words
- 2:14:58Speaker 7: of mine the power to make you tremble? Throwned there
- 2:15:02Speaker 7: in the branches, I like a leaf among the leaves
- 2:15:05Speaker 7: who tremble you tremble, for I feel and if you
- 2:15:11Speaker 7: will it or will it not your hands? But love
- 2:15:14Speaker 7: it trembling thrill through the branches, down your sprays of jasmine.
- 2:15:20Speaker 1: It kisses passionately, one of the hanging tendrils.
- 2:15:23Speaker 11: I I am trembling, weeping. I am thine. Thou hast
- 2:15:31Speaker 11: conquered all of me.
- 2:15:33Speaker 7: Then let death come tis I tis I myself who
- 2:15:40Speaker 7: conquered thee one thing, but one I dare to ask.
- 2:15:46Speaker 1: Under the balcony a kiss, drawing back, what oh you ask?
- 2:15:52Speaker 1: I to Christian?
- 2:15:54Speaker 9: This money fool?
- 2:15:55Speaker 7: You go too quick?
- 2:15:57Speaker 10: Since she's thus moved, I will profit by it.
- 2:16:00Speaker 7: To Roxa, my words sprang thoughtlessly. But now I see
- 2:16:05Speaker 7: shame on me. I was too presumptuous, a little chilled.
- 2:16:11Speaker 11: How quickly you withdraw?
- 2:16:13Speaker 7: Yes? I withdraw without withdrawing hurt? Iime modesty?
- 2:16:19Speaker 29: If so?
- 2:16:21Speaker 7: The kiss I asked, Oh, granted.
- 2:16:24Speaker 1: Not to Sirrano, pulling him by his cloak.
- 2:16:27Speaker 7: Why silence, Christian, hush leaning over what whisper you? I
- 2:16:33Speaker 7: chid myself for my two bold advances, said silence Christian.
- 2:16:39Speaker 1: The lutes begin to play.
- 2:16:41Speaker 7: Hark wait awhile steps come.
- 2:16:44Speaker 1: Roxa shuts the window Siana listens to the lutes, one
- 2:16:48Speaker 1: of which plays a merry, the other a man in
- 2:16:51Speaker 1: cooly tune.
- 2:16:52Speaker 7: Why they play sad then gay, then sad? What neither
- 2:16:57Speaker 7: man nor woman?
- 2:16:59Speaker 29: Oh?
- 2:17:00Speaker 1: A monk enter A cappuchin fryar with a lantern. He
- 2:17:05Speaker 1: goes from house to house, looking at every door. Scene
- 2:17:09Speaker 1: seven Sirrano Christian, A cappuchin fryar to the friar.
- 2:17:15Speaker 7: What do you playing at, Diogenes, I seek the house
- 2:17:19Speaker 7: of Madam, oh plague taken, Madeline Robine?
- 2:17:25Speaker 1: What would a pointing to a street at the back
- 2:17:28Speaker 1: this way straight on?
- 2:17:30Speaker 19: I thank you, and in your intention will tell my
- 2:17:34Speaker 19: rosary to its last speed.
- 2:17:37Speaker 7: He goes out, Good luck, my blessings rest upon your cowl.
- 2:17:42Speaker 1: He goes back to Christian. Scene eight Sirrano Christian.
- 2:17:48Speaker 10: A win for me that kiss no sooner late tis true?

- 2:45:41Speaker 7: Eat your patience, then, shrugging his shoulders, always your pointed word,
- 2:45:47Speaker 7: I pointed words. I would fain die thus some soft
- 2:45:53Speaker 7: summer eve, making a pointed word for a good cause
- 2:45:58Speaker 7: to make a soldier's by soldier's sword wielded by some
- 2:46:03Speaker 7: brave adversary. Die on bloodstained turf, not on a fever bed.

- 2:46:13Speaker 1: I'm hungry, crossing his arms.
- 2:46:17Speaker 7: All your thoughts of meat and drink, bertrand the pfeifer
- 2:46:23Speaker 7: you were a shepherd, once draw froim its double leathern
- 2:46:27Speaker 7: case your fife. Play to these greedy, guzzling soldiers. Play
- 2:46:32Speaker 7: old country airs with plaintive rhythm, recurring where lurk sweet
- 2:46:37Speaker 7: echoes of the dear home voices, each note of which
- 2:46:42Speaker 7: calls like a little sister. Those airs slow, slow, ascending.
- 2:46:48Speaker 7: As the smoke wreaths rise from the hearthstones of our
- 2:46:52Speaker 7: native hamlets. Their music strikes the ear like gascon patois.
- 2:46:58Speaker 1: The old man seats himself and gets his flute ready.
- 2:47:01Speaker 7: Your flute was now a warrior in durance, But on
- 2:47:06Speaker 7: its stem your fingers are dancing a birdlike minuet. Oh flute,
- 2:47:12Speaker 7: Remember that flutes were made of reeds first, not labyrinum.
- 2:47:17Speaker 7: Make us a music pastoral day's recalling the sole time
- 2:47:22Speaker 7: of your youth in country pastures.
- 2:47:25Speaker 1: The old man begins to play the ass of Languedak.
- 2:47:29Speaker 7: Hark to the music, Gascons, tis no longer the piercing
- 2:47:35Speaker 7: fife of camp beneath his fingers, the flute of the woods,
- 2:47:40Speaker 7: no more the call to combat tis now the love
- 2:47:44Speaker 7: song of the wandering goatherds. Hark tis the valley, the
- 2:47:49Speaker 7: wet lands, the forest, the sunburnt shepherd boy with scarlet beret.
- 2:47:55Speaker 7: The dusk of evening on the Dordona River tis Gascony.
- 2:48:00Speaker 7: Hark gascons to the music.
- 2:48:04Speaker 1: The cat has said, with bowed heads. Their eyes have
- 2:48:07Speaker 1: a far off look, as if dreaming, and they seruptuously
- 2:48:11Speaker 1: wipe away their tears with their cuffs on the corner
- 2:48:14Speaker 1: of their cloaks, to serrano in a whisper.
- 2:48:17Speaker 6: But you make them weep.
- 2:48:19Speaker 7: Aye, for homesickness, a nobler pain than hunger, tis of
- 2:48:24Speaker 7: the soul, not of the body. I am well pleased
- 2:48:27Speaker 7: to see their pain change. It's for Sarah. Heartache is
- 2:48:31Speaker 7: better than stomach ache.
- 2:48:32Speaker 1: But you weaken their courage by playing thus on their heartstrings,
- 2:48:36Speaker 1: making a sign to a drummer to approach.
- 2:48:39Speaker 7: Not I, the hero that sleeps in gascon blood is
- 2:48:43Speaker 7: ever ready to awaken them.
- 2:48:45Speaker 1: Twitt Suffice he makes a signal, the drum beats, stand
- 2:48:49Speaker 1: up and rush to take arms.
- 2:48:51Speaker 7: What is it?
- 2:48:53Speaker 1: Smiling?
- 2:48:54Speaker 7: You see one roll of the drum is enough. Goodbye dreams, regret,
- 2:49:00Speaker 7: native land, love all that the pipe called forth. The
- 2:49:04Speaker 7: drum has chased away.
- 2:49:06Speaker 26: Looking toward the back of the stage, Oh, here comes
- 2:49:09Speaker 26: Monsieur de Gouche.
- 2:49:11Speaker 1: Muttering, oh, smiling a flattering welcome.
- 2:49:17Speaker 22: We are sick to death of him.
- 2:49:19Speaker 8: With his lace collar over his armor, playing the fine gentleman, as.

- 2:49:26Speaker 22: It were good for a bandage. Had he boils on his.
- 2:49:28Speaker 8: Neck, another plodding courtier, his uncle's own nephew.
- 2:49:34Speaker 26: For all that a gascon, hi, false gascon, trust him not.
- 2:49:39Speaker 26: Gascons should ever be crack brained, not more dangerous than
- 2:49:43Speaker 26: a rational gascon.
- 2:49:45Speaker 22: How pale he is, Oh, he is hungry, just like us,
- 2:49:49Speaker 22: poor devil's. But under his curras with its fine gilt nails,
- 2:49:54Speaker 22: his stomach ache glitters brave in the sun.
- 2:49:56Speaker 7: Haridi, let us not seem to suffer either. Out with
- 2:50:00Speaker 7: your cards, pipes and dice.
- 2:50:02Speaker 1: All begin spreading out the games on the drums, the stools,
- 2:50:06Speaker 1: the ground, and on their cloaks and light long.
- 2:50:08Speaker 7: Pipes, and I shall read takekards.

- 2:50:27Speaker 1: to cargo, good day. They examine each other aside with satisfaction.
- 2:50:32Speaker 1: He's green. Aside he has nothing left but eyes looking
- 2:50:37Speaker 1: at the cadets.
- 2:50:38Speaker 21: Here are the rebels is sers on all sides. I
- 2:50:43Speaker 21: hear that in your ranks. You scoff at me that
- 2:50:47Speaker 21: the cadets, these luitish mountain bread, poor country squires and
- 2:50:54Speaker 21: barons of perry gold scarce, find for me their kernel
- 2:50:59Speaker 21: a distain sufficient, call me plotter, wileye courtier. It does
- 2:51:05Speaker 21: not please their mightiness to see a point lace collar
- 2:51:09Speaker 21: on my steel cairass. And they enrage because a man
- 2:51:14Speaker 21: in sooth may be no ragged robin, yet a gascon
- 2:51:19Speaker 21: silence or smoke, and plead, shall I command your captain
- 2:51:23Speaker 21: punish you?
- 2:51:25Speaker 7: No?

- 2:51:38Speaker 1: Addressing himself to the cadets.
- 2:51:40Speaker 21: I can despise your taunts. Tis well known how I
- 2:51:44Speaker 21: bear me in the war at Bapalm yesterday. They saw
- 2:51:49Speaker 21: the rage with which I beat back the Count of Baqua,
- 2:51:53Speaker 21: assembling my own men, I fell on his and charged
- 2:51:57Speaker 21: three separate times.
- 2:52:00Speaker 1: Without lifting his eyes from his book. And your white
- 2:52:03Speaker 1: scarf surprised and gratified, you.
- 2:52:06Speaker 21: Know that detail truth it happened. Thus, while caracoling to
- 2:52:11Speaker 21: recall the troops for the third charge, a band of
- 2:52:15Speaker 21: fugitives bore me, with them close by the hostile ranks.
- 2:52:20Speaker 21: I was in periled capture sudden death, when I thought
- 2:52:25Speaker 21: of the good expedient to loosen and let fall the scarf,
- 2:52:29Speaker 21: which told my military rank. Thus I contrived, without attention
- 2:52:34Speaker 21: weight to leave the foes, and, suddenly returning, reinforced with
- 2:52:40Speaker 21: my own men to scatter them. And now what say you, sir?
- 2:52:45Speaker 1: The cat it's spread and not to be listening. But
- 2:52:47Speaker 1: the cards and the dice boxes remained suspended in their hands,
- 2:52:51Speaker 1: the smoke of their pipes in their cheeks.
- 2:52:53Speaker 7: They wad I say that Ari Catre had not, by
- 2:52:58Speaker 7: any dangerous odds, been forced to strip himself of his
- 2:53:02Speaker 7: white helmet.
- 2:53:03Speaker 1: Gloom silent delight. The cards fall, the dye is rattle,
- 2:53:07Speaker 1: the smoke is puffed, The roost succeeded, though seem suspension
- 2:53:12Speaker 1: of play, et cetera.
- 2:53:13Speaker 7: Oh maybe, but one does not lightly abdicate the honor
- 2:53:18Speaker 7: to serve as target to the enemy.
- 2:53:21Speaker 1: Cards dice fall again, and the cat that's smoke with
- 2:53:24Speaker 1: evident delight.
- 2:53:25Speaker 7: Had I been present when your scarf fell low, our courage, sir,
- 2:53:30Speaker 7: is of a different sort, I would have picked it
- 2:53:32Speaker 7: up and put it on.
- 2:53:34Speaker 21: Oh I another gascon boast.
- 2:53:37Speaker 7: A boast lend it to me. I pledge myself tonight
- 2:53:41Speaker 7: with it across my breast, to lead the assault.
- 2:53:45Speaker 21: Another gascon vunt. You know, the scarf lies with the
- 2:53:49Speaker 21: enemy upon the brink of the stream. The place is
- 2:53:53Speaker 21: riddled now with shot. No one can fetch it.
- 2:53:57Speaker 1: Hither drawing the scarf from his pocket and holding it
- 2:54:00Speaker 1: out to him, it is silence. The cat had stifle
- 2:54:04Speaker 1: their laughter in their cards and ice boxes. The guiche
- 2:54:08Speaker 1: runs and looks at them. They instantly become grave, and
- 2:54:11Speaker 1: said to play one of them vessels indifferently. The ad
- 2:54:15Speaker 1: just played by the fiffer taking this carf, I thank you.
- 2:54:20Speaker 21: It will now enable me to make a signal that
- 2:54:23Speaker 21: I had foreborne to make till now.
- 2:54:26Speaker 1: He goes to the rampart, climbs it and waves the
- 2:54:29Speaker 1: scarf thrice. What the sentinel from the top of the rampart,
- 2:54:34Speaker 1: see you young man down there who runs descending.
- 2:54:38Speaker 21: 'tis a false Spanish spy who is extremely useful to
- 2:54:42Speaker 21: my ends. The news he carries to the enemy are
- 2:54:46Speaker 21: those I prompt him with. So, in a word, we
- 2:54:50Speaker 21: have an influence on their decisions.
- 2:54:54Speaker 1: Scoundrel, carelessly nodding on a scarf.
- 2:54:57Speaker 21: Chis opportune? What were we saying? Ah, I have news

- 2:55:13Speaker 21: the King's provisions be, but to return to camp more easily,
- 2:55:19Speaker 21: he took with him a goodly force of troops. Those
- 2:55:23Speaker 21: who attacked us now would have fine sport. Half of
- 2:55:27Speaker 21: the armies absent from the camp.
- 2:55:29Speaker 6: Ay get a Spaniard's new twent ill for us. But
- 2:55:32Speaker 6: they know nothing of it.
- 2:55:33Speaker 21: Oh, they know they will attack us.
- 2:55:37Speaker 7: Ah.
- 2:55:38Speaker 21: For my false spy came to warn me of their attack.
- 2:55:42Speaker 21: He said, I can decide the point for their assault.
- 2:55:46Speaker 21: Where would you have it, I will tell them tis
- 2:55:49Speaker 21: the least defended. They'll attempt you there, I answered, good,
- 2:55:56Speaker 21: go out of camp, but watch my signal. Choose the
- 2:56:00Speaker 21: point from whence it comes.
- 2:56:02Speaker 1: To cadets, Make ready, all right, sounds of swords and

- 2:56:11Speaker 1: They all sit down again and pick up their games
- 2:56:14Speaker 1: to Carbon.
- 2:56:15Speaker 21: Time must be gained. The Marshal will return. How gain
- 2:56:19Speaker 21: it you will all be good enough to let yourselves
- 2:56:23Speaker 21: to be killed.
- 2:56:24Speaker 7: Engines.
- 2:56:25Speaker 21: Oh, I do not say that if I loved you well,
- 2:56:30Speaker 21: I had chosen you and yours. But as things stand,

- 2:59:46Speaker 1: the sound of a voice, I stood still, rooted to

- 3:00:33Speaker 7: But how in Heaven's name.
- 3:00:36Speaker 11: How found either way to the army? It was simple enough,
- 3:00:39Speaker 11: for I had but to pass on and on as
- 3:00:42Speaker 11: far as I saw the country laid waste? Ah, what
- 3:00:45Speaker 11: horrors were there? Had I not seen then, I could
- 3:00:48Speaker 11: never have believed it. Well, gentlemen, if such be the
- 3:00:52Speaker 11: service of your king, I would faigner serve mine.
- 3:00:55Speaker 7: But tis sheer madness. Where in the Fiend's name did
- 3:00:59Speaker 7: you get through rue?

- 3:01:21Speaker 11: me lo, I showed at the window my sweetest smile,
- 3:01:24Speaker 11: and these signors, being with no disrespect to you, the
- 3:01:27Speaker 11: most gallant gentleman in the world, I passed on.
- 3:01:30Speaker 6: True, that's mild as a passport. But you must have
- 3:01:35Speaker 6: been asked frequently to give an account of where you
- 3:01:37Speaker 6: were going, Madam.
- 3:01:38Speaker 11: Yes, frequently. Then I would answer, I go to see
- 3:01:42Speaker 11: my lover. At that word, the very fiercest spaniard of
- 3:01:47Speaker 11: them all would gravely shut the carriage door, and, with
- 3:01:50Speaker 11: a gesture that a king might envy, make signal to
- 3:01:53Speaker 11: his men to lower the muskets leveled at me. Then,
- 3:01:56Speaker 11: with melancholy, but with all very graceful dignity, his beaver
- 3:02:00Speaker 11: held to the wind that the plumes might flutter. Bravely,
- 3:02:03Speaker 11: he would bow low, saying to me pass on, Senorita.
- 3:02:07Speaker 11: But Roxanne, forgive me that, I said, my lover. But
- 3:02:10Speaker 11: but think you had, I said, my husband. Not one

- 3:02:21Speaker 34: time to lose, Indeed you must, But wherefore must I
- 3:02:25Speaker 34: am baddest the.

- 3:02:31Speaker 1: Best you might you are going to fight.
- 3:02:35Speaker 18: I stay here.
- 3:02:36Speaker 11: No, no, he is my husband.
- 3:02:39Speaker 1: She throws herself into Christian's arms.
- 3:02:42Speaker 11: They shall kill us both together.
- 3:02:43Speaker 10: Why do you look at me this?
- 3:02:45Speaker 11: I will tell you why.
- 3:02:46Speaker 1: In disband tis a post of mortal danger turning round, mortal.

- 3:03:30Speaker 11: were it not wisest that the count retire, they may
- 3:03:34Speaker 11: begin the attack that is not to be brooked.

- 3:03:42Speaker 21: have still time, think better of it.

- 3:15:09Speaker 10: Now tell me why, why, by these fearful paths, so perilous,
- 3:15:13Speaker 10: across these ranks of riveled soldiery.
- 3:15:15Speaker 11: You have come love, Your letters brought me here? What
- 3:15:19Speaker 11: say you tis your fault? If I ran risks? Your
- 3:15:23Speaker 11: letters turned my head?
- 3:15:26Speaker 15: Ah?
- 3:15:26Speaker 11: All this month? How many and the last one ever
- 3:15:31Speaker 11: bettered the one that went before?
- 3:15:33Speaker 10: What for a few inconsequent love letters?
- 3:15:36Speaker 11: Hold your peace? Ah, you cannot conceive it. Ever since
- 3:15:41Speaker 11: that night, when in a voice all new to me
- 3:15:45Speaker 11: under my window, you revealed your soul. Ah, ever since
- 3:15:50Speaker 11: I have adored you. Now your letters, all this whole
- 3:15:54Speaker 11: month long meseemed as if I heard that voice, so tender, true, sheltering,
- 3:16:01Speaker 11: close thy fault, I say it drew me the voice
- 3:16:06Speaker 11: of the night. Oh wise, Penelope, would ne'er have stayed
- 3:16:10Speaker 11: to broider on her hearthstone, if her ulysses could have
- 3:16:14Speaker 11: wat such letters, but would have cast away her silken
- 3:16:17Speaker 11: bobbins and fled to join him. Mad for love is Helen.
- 3:16:21Speaker 11: But I read, read again, grew faint for love I
- 3:16:27Speaker 11: was thine utterly. Each separate page was like a fluttering
- 3:16:31Speaker 11: flower petal loosed from your own soul, and wafted thus
- 3:16:36Speaker 11: to mine. Imprinted in each burning word was love, sincere
- 3:16:42Speaker 11: all powerful.
- 3:16:44Speaker 10: A love sincea cannot be felt, Roxanne, I that it can.
- 3:16:49Speaker 11: You come, Oh Christian, my true lord, I come, Or
- 3:16:55Speaker 11: I to throw myself here at your knees would raise me.
- 3:16:58Speaker 11: But tis my soul I lay your feet, you can
- 3:17:01Speaker 11: raise it nevermore. I come to crave your pardon. Ay
- 3:17:06Speaker 11: tis time to super pardon now that death may come
- 3:17:09Speaker 11: for the insult done to you when frivolous. At first
- 3:17:13Speaker 11: I loved you only for.
- 3:17:14Speaker 35: Your face, horror stricken, Roxanne, and later love less frivolous,
- 3:17:20Speaker 35: like a bird that spreads its wings but cannot fly,
- 3:17:24Speaker 35: arrested by your beauty, by your soul drawn close, I
- 3:17:27Speaker 35: loved for both at once. And now ah, you yourself
- 3:17:32Speaker 35: have triumphed o'er yourself, And now I love you only.
- 3:17:37Speaker 11: For your soul.
- 3:17:38Speaker 1: Stepping backward, Roxane, be happy to be loved for beauty
- 3:17:43Speaker 1: a poor disguise.
- 3:17:44Speaker 11: The time so soon wears threadbare, must be to noble souls,
- 3:17:49Speaker 11: to souls aspiring a torture. Your dear thoughts have now
- 3:17:53Speaker 11: effaced that beauty that so won me at the outset.
- 3:17:57Speaker 11: Now I see clearer, and I no more see it.
- 3:18:00Speaker 11: Oh you are doubtful of such victory, rock San, I
- 3:18:04Speaker 11: see you cannot yet believe it. Such love.

- 3:18:10Speaker 10: be loved more, simply for for.
- 3:18:12Speaker 11: That which they have all in turns loved in thee shame, Oh,
- 3:18:17Speaker 11: be loved henceforth in a better way.
- 3:18:19Speaker 10: No, the first love was best.
- 3:18:21Speaker 11: Ah, how you err? Tis now that I love best?

- 3:18:26Speaker 11: Well tis that which is thy true self? See that
- 3:18:30Speaker 11: I adore? Were your brilliance dimmed?
- 3:18:33Speaker 26: Hush?
- 3:18:34Speaker 11: I should love still? I if your beauty should today depart?
- 3:18:38Speaker 7: Say not so?
- 3:18:39Speaker 11: Aye, I say it ugly, how ugly? I swear I'd

- 3:32:29Speaker 1: where the widow's koife and veil Diguche imposing looking and
- 3:32:33Speaker 1: visibly aged, walks by her side. They sawnt hers slowly.
- 3:32:37Speaker 1: Mother Margie trices, tis.
- 3:32:39Speaker 8: Time we go in. Madame Madelene walks in the garden
- 3:32:43Speaker 8: with a visitor.
- 3:32:44Speaker 1: To Sister Claire in a low voice.
- 3:32:46Speaker 30: Marshal of Graandmon looking at him, tis he, I think,
- 3:32:50Speaker 30: tis many months now since he came to see her.
- 3:32:52Speaker 11: He's so busy the court, the camp, the world.
- 3:32:57Speaker 1: They go out. Deguiche and Roxa come for word in
- 3:33:00Speaker 1: silence and stop close to the embroidery frame scene to
- 3:33:05Speaker 1: Rosaw the Duke Dugamo formerly con dee Guiche, then Debray
- 3:33:09Speaker 1: and Dragonu.
- 3:33:11Speaker 21: And you stay here, still, ever vainly fair, ever in weeds,
- 3:33:18Speaker 21: ever still faithful.
- 3:33:20Speaker 26: Still.
- 3:33:21Speaker 21: After a pause, am I forgiven? I?
- 3:33:25Speaker 11: Since I am here?
- 3:33:26Speaker 1: Another pause? His was a soul, you say, ah, when
- 3:33:31Speaker 1: you knew him?
- 3:33:33Speaker 21: Ah, Maybe I, perchance too little knew him? And his
- 3:33:39Speaker 21: last letter ever next, your heart.
- 3:33:42Speaker 11: Hung from this chain, a gentle scapulary and dead.
- 3:33:47Speaker 21: You love him still at.
- 3:33:49Speaker 11: Times, meseems he is but partly dead. Our hearts still
- 3:33:54Speaker 11: speak as if his love still living wrapped me around.
- 3:33:58Speaker 21: After another pause, Cyrano comes to see.
- 3:34:01Speaker 11: You often, I, dear, kind old friend. We call him
- 3:34:07Speaker 11: my gazette. He never fails to come beneath this tree
- 3:34:12Speaker 11: they place his chair. If it be fine, I wait,
- 3:34:15Speaker 11: I broider. The clock strikes. At the last stroke, I
- 3:34:19Speaker 11: hear for now. I never turn to look, too sure
- 3:34:22Speaker 11: to hear his cane tap down the steps. He seats
- 3:34:26Speaker 11: himself with gentle raillery. He marks my tapestry.
- 3:34:30Speaker 1: That's never done.
- 3:34:31Speaker 11: He tells me all the gossip of the week.
- 3:34:33Speaker 1: Lebree appears on the steps. Why here's Lebrae, Lebree de sense?
- 3:34:38Speaker 11: How goes it with our friend ill?
- 3:34:41Speaker 5: Very ill?
- 3:34:42Speaker 21: How to the duke?
- 3:34:44Speaker 11: He exaggerates, Oh.
- 3:34:46Speaker 5: That I prophesied desertion. Want his litters now make him
- 3:34:52Speaker 5: fresh enemies attacking the sham nobles, sham, devout, sham brave,
- 3:34:58Speaker 5: the thieving authors all the world.
- 3:35:01Speaker 11: Ah, but his sword still holds mill in check.
- 3:35:05Speaker 1: None get the better of him, shaking his head time
- 3:35:08Speaker 1: will show.
- 3:35:09Speaker 5: Ah, but I fear for him, not man's attack, solitude, hunger, cold, December, daze,
- 3:35:17Speaker 5: that wolf like steel into his chamber, edd rear lo
- 3:35:22Speaker 5: the assassins that I fear for him. Each day he
- 3:35:26Speaker 5: tightens by one hole his belt that poor knows tinted
- 3:35:31Speaker 5: like old Ivory, he has retained one chabby suit of serge. I.
- 3:35:37Speaker 21: There is one who has no prize of fortune, yet
- 3:35:43Speaker 21: is not to be pitied.
- 3:35:44Speaker 1: With a bitter smile, my Lord Marshal.
- 3:35:47Speaker 21: Pity him not. He has lived out his vows, free
- 3:35:53Speaker 21: in his thoughts as in his actions, free.
- 3:35:58Speaker 1: In the same tone, my Lord True, I have all.
- 3:36:03Speaker 21: And he has naught.
- 3:36:06Speaker 1: Yet I were proud to take his hand, bowing the
- 3:36:09Speaker 1: roxa adieu, I go with you. The Duke boast delibree
- 3:36:14Speaker 1: and goes with Roxan toward the steps, passing while she
- 3:36:18Speaker 1: goes up.
- 3:36:18Speaker 21: Aye, True, I envy him. Look you when life is
- 3:36:23Speaker 21: brim full of success. Though the past hold no action foul,
- 3:36:28Speaker 21: one feels a thousand self disgusts, of which the sun
- 3:36:34Speaker 21: is not remorse but a dim, vague unrest. And as
- 3:36:40Speaker 21: one mounts the steps of worldly fame, the Duke's furred
- 3:36:44Speaker 21: mantles trail within their folds, a sound of dead illusions,
- 3:36:51Speaker 21: vain regrets, a Russell scarce, a whisper, like as when
- 3:36:57Speaker 21: mounting the terraced steps by your morning robe sweeps in
- 3:37:02Speaker 21: its train, the dying autumn leaves.
- 3:37:06Speaker 11: You are pensive.
- 3:37:07Speaker 1: True, I am as he is going out siddenly. Monsieur
- 3:37:12Speaker 1: le Brett to Roxa a word, with your permission, He
- 3:37:16Speaker 1: goes to Libre, and, in a low voice, true that
- 3:37:20Speaker 1: none dare to attack your friend, but many hate him.
- 3:37:25Speaker 1: Yesterday at the Queen's card play, twas said Matt Cirino
- 3:37:30Speaker 1: may die by accident. Let him stay in, be prudent,
- 3:37:37Speaker 1: raising his hands to heaven.
- 3:37:39Speaker 5: Prudent. He he's coming here. I'll warn him.
- 3:37:43Speaker 1: But Roxa, who has stayed on the steps to a sister,
- 3:37:47Speaker 1: who comes toward her, what is it ragged?
- 3:37:50Speaker 7: I would see, Madame.
- 3:37:51Speaker 1: Let him come to the Duke and lebree.
- 3:37:54Speaker 11: He comes to tell his troubles, having been an author,
- 3:37:57Speaker 11: save the mark. Poor fellow turns.
- 3:38:00Speaker 1: He's singer, bathing man, then actor, beadle.
- 3:38:05Speaker 24: Wig maker, teacher of the lute.
- 3:38:08Speaker 11: What will he be today? By chance?
- 3:38:10Speaker 1: Raganon entering hurriedly, Ah, Madame, he sees Libre. Ah, you hear, sir, smiling.
- 3:38:17Speaker 11: Tell all your miseries to him. I will return Anon, But.
- 3:38:21Speaker 1: Madame Roxa goes out with the Duke. Dragan goes towards
- 3:38:26Speaker 1: Libre scene tree, Libre, Dragan, since.
- 3:38:30Speaker 18: You are here tis best she should not know I
- 3:38:33Speaker 18: was going to your friend just now, who was but
- 3:38:35Speaker 18: a few steps from the house. When I saw him
- 3:38:37Speaker 18: go out, I hurried to him, saw him turn the
- 3:38:40Speaker 18: corner suddenly from out a window where he was passing.
- 3:38:45Speaker 18: Was it chance, maybe a lackey let fall a large
- 3:38:49Speaker 18: piece of wood?
- 3:38:50Speaker 5: Cowards? Oh, Sun know, I ran, I saw its hideous.
- 3:38:57Speaker 18: Saw our poets, Sir, our friend struck to the ground,
- 3:39:01Speaker 18: a large wound in his head.
- 3:39:03Speaker 6: He's dead, No, but I bore.
- 3:39:06Speaker 18: Him to his room. Ah, his room, What a thing
- 3:39:09Speaker 18: to see that garret.
- 3:39:11Speaker 5: He suffers.
- 3:39:13Speaker 18: No, his consciousness has flown.
- 3:39:15Speaker 5: So you were doctor one was kind, he came, my
- 3:39:19Speaker 5: poor sire. No, we must not tell this to ROCs Aanne. Suddenly,
- 3:39:24Speaker 5: what said this?
- 3:39:25Speaker 6: Leech said?
- 3:39:27Speaker 7: What I know? Not?
- 3:39:28Speaker 18: Fever meningitis?
- 3:39:30Speaker 7: Ah?
- 3:39:31Speaker 18: Could you see him, all his head bound up? But
- 3:39:34Speaker 18: let us haste. There is no one by his bed,
- 3:39:37Speaker 18: and if he tried to rise, Sir, he might die.
- 3:39:39Speaker 1: Dragging him toward the.
- 3:39:41Speaker 5: Right come through the chapel tis the quickest way.
- 3:39:45Speaker 1: Appearing on the steps and seeing Librey go away by
- 3:39:48Speaker 1: the colonnad leading to the chapel door. Monsieur le Bray,
- 3:39:52Speaker 1: Lebrey and dragonou disappear without answering.
- 3:39:55Speaker 11: Le Bray goes when I call tis some new trouble
- 3:39:59Speaker 11: of good.
- 3:39:59Speaker 16: Rag knows.
- 3:40:00Speaker 1: She discensed the steps scene for Rosaw alone. Two sisters
- 3:40:06Speaker 1: for a moment.
- 3:40:07Speaker 7: Ah, what a.
- 3:40:08Speaker 11: Beauty in September's clothes. My sorrows eased, April's joy dazzled it,
- 3:40:15Speaker 11: but Autumn wins it with her dying calm.
- 3:40:18Speaker 1: She seats herself at the embroidery frame. Two sisters come
- 3:40:22Speaker 1: out of the house and bring a large arm chair
- 3:40:24Speaker 1: under the tree.
- 3:40:25Speaker 11: There comes the famous arm chair where he sits. Dear
- 3:40:29Speaker 11: faithful friend, It is the parlor's best. Thanks sister.
- 3:40:33Speaker 1: The sisters go, He'll be here now. She seats herself.
- 3:40:38Speaker 1: A clock strikes, The.
- 3:40:39Speaker 11: Hour strikes my silks. Why now the hour's struck? How
- 3:40:47Speaker 11: strange to be behind his time at last to day?
- 3:40:51Speaker 11: Perhaps the portress where's my thimble here? Is preaching to him?
- 3:40:56Speaker 1: A pause, Yes, she must be preaching.
- 3:41:00Speaker 11: Surely he must come soon. Ah, a dead leaf.
- 3:41:04Speaker 1: She brushes off the leaf from her work.
- 3:41:06Speaker 11: Nothing besides could scissors in my bag could hinder him?
- 3:41:13Speaker 1: Said kind sister, coming to the steps Monsieur de Bergerac

- 3:41:31Speaker 1: his eyes appears the sister who had announced him retires.
- 3:41:36Speaker 1: He discensed the steps slowly, with a visible difficulty in
- 3:41:40Speaker 1: holding himself upright, bearing heavily on his cane. Roxa still
- 3:41:44Speaker 1: works at her tapestry.
- 3:41:46Speaker 11: Time has dimmed the tints. How harmonize them?
- 3:41:50Speaker 1: Now to Sirrano with playful reproach for the.
- 3:41:53Speaker 11: First time, late, for the first time all these fourteen.
- 3:41:59Speaker 1: Year Sirrano, who has succeeded in reaching the chair and
- 3:42:04Speaker 1: as seated himself in a lively voice, which is in
- 3:42:07Speaker 1: great contrast with his pale face.
- 3:42:09Speaker 7: Aye, it is villainous. I raged was stayed by by
- 3:42:16Speaker 7: a bold, unwelcome.

- 3:42:44Speaker 7: Happily perforce, I quit you ere at falls.
- 3:42:47Speaker 1: He shuts his eyes and is silent for a moment.
- 3:42:50Speaker 1: Sister Martha crosses the park from the chapel to the
- 3:42:54Speaker 1: flight of steps. Roxaw, seeing her, signs to her to
- 3:42:57Speaker 1: approach to Serrano.
- 3:43:00Speaker 11: How now you have not teased the sister.
- 3:43:02Speaker 1: Hastily opening his eyes. True, in a comically loud voice, sister,
- 3:43:08Speaker 1: come here. The sister glides up to him.
- 3:43:11Speaker 7: Ha ha what those bright eyes bent ever on the ground.
- 3:43:15Speaker 1: Sister Marta, who makes a movement of astonishment on seeing
- 3:43:19Speaker 1: his face. Oh, in a whisper, pointing to Roxa, hush
- 3:43:24Speaker 1: tis not loudly in a blustering voice.

- 3:43:46Speaker 7: Nay, not I old, but it's true. You preach to
- 3:43:50Speaker 7: me no more, you once so glib with holy words.
- 3:43:53Speaker 7: I am astonished. Stay, I will surprise you too, hark
- 3:43:59Speaker 7: I permit you.
- 3:44:00Speaker 1: He pretends to be seeking for something to teaserve, and
- 3:44:03Speaker 1: to have found it.
- 3:44:04Speaker 7: It is something new to pray for me to night
- 3:44:08Speaker 7: at chapel time. Oh, oh good, sister Martha is struck.
- 3:44:14Speaker 30: Dumb gently, I did not wait your leave to pray
- 3:44:18Speaker 30: for you.
- 3:44:19Speaker 1: She goes out, turning to Roxon, who is still bending
- 3:44:22Speaker 1: over her work.
- 3:44:24Speaker 7: That tapestry beshrew me if my eyes will ever see
- 3:44:28Speaker 7: it finished.

- 3:44:32Speaker 1: A light breeze causes the leaves to fall, the autumn leaves,
- 3:44:37Speaker 1: lifting her head and looking down the distant alley.
- 3:44:40Speaker 11: Soft golden brown like a Venetian's hair. See how they fall.
- 3:44:46Speaker 7: I see how brave they fall, in their last journey
- 3:44:50Speaker 7: downward from the bow, who wrought within the clay, yet lovely,
- 3:44:53Speaker 7: still hiding the horror of the last decay, with all
- 3:44:57Speaker 7: the wayward grace of careless flight.
- 3:45:00Speaker 1: What melancholy you collecting himself?
- 3:45:04Speaker 7: Nay, nay, roc sane?

- 3:45:32Speaker 7: and the August pulse beats at normal pace. At the
- 3:45:35Speaker 7: Queen's ball on Sunday, thirty score of best white waxen
- 3:45:40Speaker 7: tapers were consumed. Our troops, they say, have chased the Austrians.

- 3:45:50Speaker 7: took a dose.
- 3:45:51Speaker 11: I bid you hold your tongue, Monsieur de Bergerac.

- 3:46:34Speaker 1: Sarahen now opening his eyes in an unconcerned voice, what
- 3:46:38Speaker 1: is this? He sees Roxa bending over him and hastily
- 3:46:42Speaker 1: pressing his hat on his head and shrinking back.
- 3:46:45Speaker 5: In his chair.
- 3:46:46Speaker 7: Nay, on my word, tis nothing. Let me be but

- 3:47:06Speaker 11: never healed up, not healed yet, my old wound.

- 3:47:12Speaker 11: Tis here beneath this letter, brown with age, all stained
- 3:47:17Speaker 11: with tear drops, and still stained with blood.
- 3:47:20Speaker 1: Twilight begins to fall his letter.

- 3:48:41Speaker 11: You read in such a voice, so strange, and yet
- 3:48:47Speaker 11: it is not the first time I hear that voice.
- 3:48:51Speaker 1: She comes nearer, very softly, without his perceiving it, passes
- 3:48:56Speaker 1: behind his chair, and noiselessly, leaning over him, looks at
- 3:49:00Speaker 1: the letter. The darkness deepens.

- 3:49:07Speaker 7: am he who loved, who loves you.

- 3:49:17Speaker 1: He starts duns, sees her close to him. Suddenly alarmed,
- 3:49:21Speaker 1: he holds his head down. Then, in the dusk which
- 3:49:24Speaker 1: has now completely enfolded them, she says, very slowly, with
- 3:49:28Speaker 1: clasped hands.
- 3:49:29Speaker 11: And fourteen years long he has played this part of

- 3:56:49Speaker 7: My hands are gloved with lead.
- 3:56:52Speaker 1: He stands erect.
- 3:56:53Speaker 7: But since death comes I meet him still afoot.
- 3:56:57Speaker 1: He draws his sword, and sword in hand, SnO ha,
- 3:57:01Speaker 1: fainting Sarah. Now all shrink back in terror.
- 3:57:05Speaker 7: Why I well believe he dares to mock my nose?
- 3:57:09Speaker 7: Ho insolent?
- 3:57:11Speaker 1: He raises his sword.
- 3:57:13Speaker 7: What say you? It is useless? Ay?
- 3:57:16Speaker 11: I know?
- 3:57:16Speaker 7: But who fights ever hoping for success? I fought for

- 3:58:00Speaker 7: despite you. There is yet one thing I hold against
- 3:58:03Speaker 7: you all. And when tonight I enter Christ's fair courts
- 3:58:09Speaker 7: and lowly bowed sweep with doft casque the heaven spreshold blue.
- 3:58:14Speaker 7: One thing is left, that void of stain or smutch,
- 3:58:19Speaker 7: I bear away despite you.
- 3:58:22Speaker 1: He springs forward, his sword raised, it falls from his hand.
- 3:58:26Speaker 1: He staggers, falls back into the arms of Libray and
- 3:58:29Speaker 1: dragonal Roxaw, bending and kissing his forehead kings, opening his eyes,
- 3:58:36Speaker 1: recognizing her and smiling my panache curtain. End of Act five,
