CYRANO (shutting his eyes for a second): Wait while I choose my rhymes. .I have them now! (He suits the action to each word): I gayly doff my beaver low, And, freeing hand and heel, My heavy mantle off I throw, And I draw my polished steel; Graceful as Phoebus, round I wheel, Alert as Scaramouch, A word in your ear, Sir Spark, I steal-- At the envoi's end, I touch!

Ho for the music of clashing steel! --What now?--A hit? Not much!英文原著 · 《Cyrano de Bergerac》
