“Die and Leave Thee”
A comedy monologue from the play “Big Nose” a modern Cyrano script. By D.M. Larson
This is an over-dramatic death scene of 17th century captain who has been stabbed by a sword. He should be dead but it takes forever for him to die.
CAPTAIN
Oh, my heart. My loving heart. My heart is stabbed. I can love no more.
(He falls. He might be dead. Nope. He gets up again)
I die now. I die. I leave thee to love for I can love on more. My heart is worn. My blood will pour this night no more.
I leave my swort, my rank, my love. You have it all now. You have everything I desire.
(Cough. Falls to his knees)
I die and leave thee. I die and leave thee these words…
(Gurgling sound. Falls to the ground. Halfway up one more time)
Aaaudh!
(Falls and dies finally)
