Yes, a joke, so absurd!

Yet I’d rather die, one evening, under the pale rose

red sky, cracking a good joke in a good cause!

- Oh! Struck by whoever’s is the noblest sword,

and an enemy we know is worthy of ours,

on a field of glory, far from the sickbed’s eclipse,

to die of a thrust to the heart, with one on my lips!

Cyrano de Bergerac: Act Four
https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/French/Cyranoact4.php#highlightred+sky

Rostand, Edmond (1868–1918) - Cyrano De Bergerac: Act IV

Cyrano de Bergerac, Act IV: A new English translation of the French play by Edmond Rostand.

I highly recommend the Lloyd/Crimp production of Cyrano.

You almost certainly can't catch it at the actual playhouse (sold out afaict) but it's part of the broadcast-to-cinemas ntlive programme.
