CYRANO DE BERGERAC

CHRISTIAN.

How so ?

CYRANO.

Think you you can repeat what things I daily teach your tongue ? . . .

CHRISTIAN.

What do you mean ? . . .

CYRANO.

Roxane shall never have a disillusion 1 Say, wilt thou that we woo her, double-handed ? Wilt thou that we two woo her, both together ? Feel'st thou, passing from my leather doublet, Through thy laced doublet, all my soul inspiring 1

CHRISTIAN.

CYRANO.

CHRISTIAN.

I fear!

CYRANO.

Since, by yourself, you fear to chill her heart, Will you to kindle all her heart to flame Wed into one my phrases and your lips ?

CHRISTIAN.

Your eyes flash!

CYRANO.

Will you?
