Act III, Scene iv | 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! |
| CHRISTIAN: | | And how know you I cannot speak?— | | I am not such a fool when all is said! | | I've by your lessons profited. You'll see | | I shall know how to speak alone! The devil! | | I know at least to clasp her in my arms! | | (Seeing Roxane come out from Clomire's house): | | —It is she! Cyrano, no!—Leave me not! |
| CYRANO (bowing): | | Speak for yourself, my friend, and take your chance. |
| (He disappears behind the garden wall.) |
