Scene VIII.

Cyrano, Christian.
CHRISTIAN

Oh! win for me that kiss. . .

CYRANO

No!

CHRISTIAN

Soon or late!. . .

CYRANO

'Tis true! The moment of intoxication-- Of madness,--when your mouths are sure to meet Thanks to your fair mustache--and her rose lips!

(To himself)

I'd fainer it should come thanks to. . .

(A sound of shutters reopening. Christian goes in again under the balcony.)
