CYRANO DE BERGERAC
The Marquis.
Have done!
Cyrano.
Have done! And if these lords hold not their tongue
Shall feel constrained to make them taste my cane!
All the Marquises
[rising].
Enough!… Montfleury…
Cyrano.
Enough!… Montfleury… If he goes not quick
I will cut off his ears and slit him up!
A Voice.
But…
Cyrano.
But… Out he goes!
Another Voice.
But… Out he goes! Yet…
Cyrano.
But… Out he goes! Yet… Is he not gone yet?
[He makes the gesture of turning up his cuffs.]
Good! I shall mount the stage now, buffet-wise,
To carve this fine Italian sausage—thus!
Montfleury
[trying to be dignified].
You outrage Thalia in insulting me!
