" "

Son los cadetes de la Gascuña
que a Carbón tienen por capitán;
son quimeristas, son embusteros;
y a la vez nobles, firmes y enteros,
blasón viviente por doquier van,
son los cadetes de la Gascuña,
que a Carbón tienen por capitán.
Ojos de buitre, pies de cigüeña,
dientes de lobo, fiero ademán;
cuando arremeten a la canalla,
no ciñen casco ni fina malla:
rotos chambergos luciendo van…
Ojos de buitre, pies de cigüeña,
dientes de lobo, fiero ademán.
Punza-barrigas y Rompe-hocicos
son dulces motes que ellos se dan.
Ebrios de gloria, sueñan conquistas,
corren garitos, dan entrevistas;
donde hayan riñas, allí estarán…
Punza-barrigas y Rompe-hocicos
son dulces motes que ellos se dan.
Son los cadetes de la Gascuña
que a Carbón tienen por capitán.
Tras las coquetas corren ansiosos,
hacen cornudos a los celosos;
su gloria al viento los parches dan.
¡Son los cadetes de la Gascuña
que a Carbón tienen por capitán!

Additional quotes by Edmond Rostand

You strip from me the laurel and the rose!
Take all! Despite you there is yet one thing
I hold against you all, and when, tonight,
I enter Christ's fair courts, and, lowly bowed,
Sweep with doffed casque the heavens' threshold blue,
One thing is left, that, void of stain or smutch,
I bear away despite you…
My panache.

You blessed my life!
Never on me had rested woman's love.
My mother even could not find me fair:
I had no sister; and, when grown a man,
I feared the mistress who would mock at me.
But I have had your friendship — grace to you
A woman's charm has passed across my path.
