La bataille d’Ivry

le 14 mars 1590• "Mes compagnons, si vous courez aujourd'hui ma fortune

(chance), je cours aussi la vôtre; je veux vaincre ou mourir avec vous. Dieu est pour nous. Voici ses ennemis et les nôtres. Voici votre roi. Gardez bien vos rangs, je vous prie; si la chaleur du combat vous le fait quitter, pensez aussitôt au ralliement: c'est le gain de la bataille. Vous le ferez entre ces trois arbres que vous voyez là-haut à main droite. Si vous perdez vos enseignes, cornettes ou guidons, ne perdez point de vue mon panache; vous le trouverez toujours au chemin de l'honneur et de la victoire".

Cyrano's last words

"...yet there is something still that will always be mine, and when I go to God's presence, there I'll doff it and sweep the heavenly pavement with a gesture - something I'll take unstained out of this

world...my panache ".
