+
+INTRODUCTION
+
+
+The drama was cultivated by the Incas, and dramatic performances were
+enacted before them. Garcilasso de la Vega, Molina, and Salcamayhua are
+the authorities who received and have recorded the information given by
+the Amautas respecting the Inca drama. Some of these dramas, and
+portions of others, were preserved in the memories of members of Inca
+and Amauta families. The Spanish priests, especially the Jesuits of
+Juli, soon discovered the dramatic aptitude of the people. Plays were
+composed and acted, under priestly auspices, which contained songs and
+other fragments of the ancient Inca drama. These plays were called
+‘Autos Sacramentales.’
+
+But complete Inca dramas were also preserved in the memories of members
+of the Amauta caste and, until the rebellion of 1781, they were acted.
+The drama of _Ollantay_ was first reduced to writing and arranged for
+acting by Dr. Don Antonio Valdez, the Cura of Tinto. It was acted
+before his friend José Gabriel Condorcanqui[1] in about 1775. Taking
+the name of his maternal ancestor, the Inca Tupac Amaru, the ill-fated
+Condorcanqui rose in rebellion, was defeated, taken, and put to death
+under torture, in the great square of Cuzco. In the monstrous sentence
+‘the representation of dramas as well as all other festivals which the
+Indians celebrate in memory of their Incas’ was prohibited.[2] This is
+a clear proof that before 1781 these Quichua dramas were acted.
+
+The original manuscript of Valdez was copied by his friend Don Justo
+Pastor Justiniani, and this copy was inherited by his son. There was
+another copy in the convent of San Domingo at Cuzco, but it is corrupt,
+and there are several omissions and mistakes of a copyist. Dr. Valdez
+died, at a very advanced age, in 1816. In 1853 the original manuscript
+was in the possession of his nephew and heir, Don Narciso Cuentas of
+Tinta.
+
+The Justiniani copy was, in 1853, in the possession of Dr. Don Pablo
+Justiniani, Cura of Laris, and son of Don Justo Pastor Justiniani. He
+is a descendant of the Incas.[3] In April 1853 I went to Laris, a
+secluded valley of the Andes, and made a careful copy of the drama of
+_Ollantay_. From this Justiniani text my first very faulty
+line-for-line translation was made in 1871, as well as the present free
+translation.
+
+The first printed notice of _Ollantay_ appeared in the _Museo Erudito_,
+Nos. 5 to 9, published at Cuzco in 1837, and edited by Don José
+Palacios. The next account of the drama, with extracts, was in the
+‘Antiguedades Peruanas,’ a work published in 1851 jointly by Dr. von
+Tschudi and Don Mariaiao Rivero of Arequipa. The complete text, from
+the copy in the convent of San Domingo at Cuzco, was first published at
+Vienna in 1853 by Dr. von Tschudi in his ‘Die Kechua Sprache. It was
+obtained for him by Dr. Ruggendas of Munich. The manuscript was a
+corrupt version, and in very bad condition, in parts illegible from
+damp. In 1868 Don José Barranca published a Spanish translation, from
+the Dominican text of von Tschudi. The learned Swiss naturalist, von
+Tschudi, published a revised edition of his translation at Vienna in
+1875, with a parallel German translation. In 1871 I printed the
+Justiniani text with a literal, line-for-line translation, but with
+many mistakes, since corrected; and in 1874, a Peruvian, Don José
+Fernandez Nodal, published the Quichua text with a Spanish translation.
+
+In 1878 Gavino Pacheco Zegarra published his version of _Ollantay_,
+with a free translation in French. His text is a manuscript of the
+drama which he found in his uncle’s library. Zegarra, as a native of
+Peru whose language was Quichua, had great advantages. He was a very
+severe, and often unfair, critic of his predecessors.
+
+The work of Zegarra is, however, exceedingly valuable. He was not only
+a Quichua scholar, but also accomplished and well read. His notes on
+special words and on the construction of sentences are often very
+interesting. But his conclusions respecting several passages which are
+in the Justiniani text, but not in the others, are certainly erroneous.
+Thus he entirely spoils the dialogue between the Uillac Uma and Piqui
+Chaqui by omitting the humorous part contained in the Justiniani text;
+and makes other similar omissions merely because the passages are not
+in his text. Zegarra gives a useful vocabulary at the end of all the
+words which occur in the drama.
+
+The great drawback to the study of Zegarra’s work is that he invented a
+number of letters to express the various modifications of sound as they
+appealed to his ear. No one else can use them, while they render the
+reading of his own works difficult and intolerably tiresome.
+
+The last publication of a text of _Ollantay_ was by the Rev. J. H.
+Gybbon Spilsbury, at Buenos Ayres in 1907, accompanied by Spanish,
+English, and French translations in parallel columns.
+
+There is truth in what Zegarra says, that the attempts to translate
+line for line, by von Tschudi and myself, ‘fail to convey a proper idea
+of the original drama to European readers, the result being alike
+contrary to the genius of the modern languages of Europe and to that of
+the Quichua language.’ Zegarra accordingly gives a very free
+translation in French.
+
+In the present translation I believe that I have always preserved the
+sense of the original, without necessarily binding myself to the words.
+The original is in octosyllabic lines. Songs and important speeches are
+in quatrains of octosyllabic lines, the first and last rhyming, and the
+second and third. I have endeavoured to keep to octosyllabic lines as
+far as possible, because they give a better idea of the original; and I
+have also tried to preserve the form of the songs and speeches.
+
+The drama opens towards the close of the reign of the Inca Pachacuti,
+the greatest of all the Incas, and the scene is laid at Cuzco or at
+Ollantay-tampu, in the valley of the Vilcamayu. The story turns on the
+love of a great chief, but not of the blood-royal, with a daughter of
+the Inca. This would not have been prohibited in former reigns, for the
+marriage of a sister by the sovereign or his heir, and the marriage of
+princesses only with princes of the blood-royal, were rules first
+introduced by Pachacuti.[4] His imperial power and greatness led him to
+endeavour to raise the royal family far above all others.
+
+The play opens with a dialogue between Ollantay and Piqui Chaqui, his
+page, a witty and humorous lad. Ollantay talks of his love for the
+Princess Cusi Coyllur, and wants Piqui Chaqui to take a message to her,
+while the page dwells on the danger of loving in such a quarter, and
+evades the question of taking a message. Then to them enters the Uillac
+Uma, or High Priest of the Sun, who remonstrates with Ollantay—a scene
+of great solemnity, and very effective.
+
+The next scene is in the Queen’s palace. Anahuarqui, the Queen, is
+discovered with the Princess Cusi Coyllur, who bitterly laments the
+absence of Ollantay. To them enters the Inca Pachacuti, quite ignorant
+that his daughter has not only married Ollantay in secret, but that she
+is actually with child by him. Her mother keeps her secret. The Inca
+indulges in extravagant expressions of love for his daughter. Then boys
+and girls enter dancing and singing a harvest song. Another very
+melancholy yarahui is sung; both capable of being turned by the
+Princess into presages of the fate of herself and her husband.
+
+In the third scene Ollantay prefers his suit to the Inca Pachacuti in
+octosyllabic quatrains, the first and last lines rhyming, and the
+second and third. His suit is rejected with scorn and contempt.
+Ollantay next appears on the heights above Cuzco. In a soliloquy he
+declares himself the implacable enemy of Cuzco and the Inca. Then Piqui
+Chaqui arrives with the news that the Queen’s palace is empty, and
+abandoned, and that Cusi Coyllur has quite disappeared; while search is
+being made for Ollantay. While they are together a song is sung behind
+some rocks, in praise of Cusi Coyllur’s beauty. Then the sound of
+clarions and people approaching is heard, and Ollantay and Piqui Chaqui
+take to flight. The next scene finds the Inca enraged at the escape of
+Ollantay, and ordering his general Rumi-ñaui to march at once, and make
+him prisoner. To them enters a _chasqui_, or messenger, bringing the
+news that Ollantay has collected a great army at Ollantay-tampu, and
+that the rebels have proclaimed him Inca.
+
+The second act opens with a grand scene in the hall of the
+fortress-palace of Ollantay-tampu. Ollantay is proclaimed Inca by the
+people, and he appoints the Mountain Chief, Urco Huaranca, general of
+his army. Urco Huaranca explains the dispositions he has made to oppose
+the army advancing from Cuzco, and his plan of defence. In the next
+scene Rumi-ñaui, as a fugitive in the mountains, describes his defeat
+and the complete success of the strategy of Ollantay and Urco Huaranca.
+His soliloquy is in the octosyllabic quatrains. The last scene of the
+second act is in the gardens of the Convent of Virgins of the Sun. A
+young girl is standing by a gate which opens on the street. This, as
+afterwards appears, is Yma Sumac, the daughter of Ollantay and Cusi
+Coyllur, aged ten, but ignorant of her parentage. To her enters Pitu
+Salla, an attendant, who chides her for being so fond of looking out at
+the gate. The conversation which follows shows that Yma Sumac detests
+the convent and refuses to take the vows. She also has heard the moans
+of some sufferer, and importunes Pitu Salla to tell her who it is. Yma
+Sumac goes as Mama Ccacca enters and cross examines Pitu Salla on her
+progress in persuading Yma Sumac to adopt convent life. This Mama
+Ccacca is one of the Matrons or _Mama Cuna_, and she is also the jailer
+of Cusi Coyllur.
+
+The third act opens with an amusing scene between the Uillac Uma and
+Piqui Chaqui, who meet in a street in Cuzco. Piqui Chaqui wants to get
+news, but to tell nothing, and in this he succeeds. The death of Inca
+Pachacuti is announced to him, and the accession of Tupac Yupanqui, and
+with this news he departs.
+
+Next there is an interview between the new Inca Tupac Yupanqui, the
+Uillac Uma, and the defeated general Rumi-ñaui, who promises to
+retrieve the former disaster and bring the rebels to Cuzco, dead or
+alive. It after wards appears that the scheme of Rumi-ñaui was one of
+treachery. He intended to conceal his troops in eaves and gorges near
+Ollantay-tampu ready to rush in, when a signal was made. Rumi-ñaui then
+cut and slashed his face, covered himself with mud, and appeared at the
+gates of Ollantay-tampu, declaring that he had received this treatment
+from the new Inca, and imploring protection.[5] Ollantay received him
+with the greatest kindness and hospitality. In a few days Ollantay and
+his people celebrated the _Raymi_ or great festival of the sun with
+much rejoicing and drinking. Rumi-ñaui pretended to join in the
+festivities, but when most of them were wrapped in drunken sleep, he
+opened the gates, let in his own men, and made them all prisoners.
+
+There is next another scene in the garden of the convent, in which Yma
+Sumac importunes Pitu Salla to tell her the secret of the prisoner.
+Pitu Salla at last yields and opens a stone door. Cusi Coyllur is
+discovered, fastened to a wall, and in a dying state. She had been
+imprisoned, by order of her father, Inca Pachacuti on the birth of Yma
+Sumac. She is restored with food and water, and the relationship is
+discovered when Cusi Coyllur hears the child’s name, for she had given
+it to her.
+
+Next the Inca Tupac Yupanqui is discovered in the great hall of his
+palace, seated on his _tiana_ or throne, with the Uillac Uma in
+attendance. To them enters a _chasqui_, or messenger, who describes the
+result of Rumi-ñaui’s treachery in octosyllabic quatrains. Rumi-ñaui
+himself enters and receives the thanks of his sovereign. Then the
+prisoners are brought in guarded-Ollantay, Hanco Huayllu, Urco
+Huaranca, and Piqui Chaqui. The Inca upbraids them for their treason.
+He then asks the Uillac Uma for his judgment. The High Priest
+recommends mercy. Rumi-ñaui advises immediate execution: The Inca seems
+to concur and they are ordered off, when suddenly the Inca cries
+‘Stop.’ He causes them all to be released, appoints Ollantay to the
+highest post in the empire next to himself, and Urco Huaranca to a high
+command. There are rejoicings, and in the midst of it all Yma Sumac
+forces her way into the hall, and throws herself at the Inca’s feet,
+entreating him to save her mother from death. The Inca hands over the
+matter to Ollantay, but this Yma Sumac will not have, and, the Uillac
+Uma intervening, the Inca consents to go with the child.
+
+The final scene is in the gardens of the convent. The Inca enters with
+Yma Sumac, followed by the whole strength of the company. Mama Ccacca
+is ordered to open the stone door and Cusi Coyllur is brought out. She
+proves to be the sister of the Inca and the wife of Ollantay. There are
+explanations, and all ends happily.
+
+Of the antiquity of the drama of Ollantay there is now no question.
+General Mitre wrote an elaborate paper on its authenticity, raising
+several points to prove that it was of modern origin. But every point
+he raised has been satisfactorily refuted. At the same time there are
+many other points, some of them referred to by Zegarra, which establish
+the antiquity of the drama beyond any doubt. The antiquity of the name
+Ollantay-tampu, applied to the fortress in memory of the drama, is
+proved by its use in the narratives of Molina (1560) and of
+Salcamayhua.
+
+An able review of the literature connected with the drama of Ollantay
+was written by Don E. Larrabure y Unanue, the present Vice-President of
+Peru, who considers that Ollantay would make a good acting play with
+magnificent scenic effects.

+
+There is light thrown upon the name _Ollantay_ by the evidence taken
+during the journey of the Viceroy Toledo from Jauja to Cuzco, from
+November 1570 to March 1571. He wanted information respecting the
+origin of the Inca government, and 200 witnesses were examined, the
+parentage or lineage of each witness being recorded. Among these we
+find six witnesses of the _Antasayac ayllu. Sayac_ means a station or
+division, _Anta_is a small town near Cuzco. The names of the six _Anta_
+witnesses were,
+
+ANCAILLO; USCA; HUACRO; MANCOY; AUCA PURI; ULLANTAY;
+Besides ANTONIO PACROTRICA and PUNICU PAUCAR, Chiefs of _Anta_.
+
+We thus find that the name of _Ollantay_ belonged to _Anta_. Now the
+Incas were under great obligations to the chief of Anta, for that chief
+had rescued the eldest son of _Inca Rocca_ from the chief of
+_Ayamarca_, and had restored him to his father. For this great service
+the chief of _Anta_ was declared to be a noble of the highest rank and
+cousin to the Inca family. Moreover, the daughter of the _Anta_ chief
+was married to the _Inca Uira-cocha_, and was the mother of Pachacuti.
+Assuming, as seems probable, that _Ollantay_ was a son of the chief of
+Anta, he would be a cousin of the Inca, and of very high rank, though
+not an agnate of the reigning family. This, I take it, is what is
+intended. _Pachacuti_ desired to raise his family high above all
+others, and that, consequently, there should be no marriages with
+subjects even of the highest rank; and his excessive severity on the
+transgression of his rule by his daughter is thus explained.

+ACT I
+
+SCENE 1
+
+An open space near the junction of the two torrents of Cuzco, the
+Huatanay and Tullumayu or Rodadero, called Pumap Chupan, just outside
+the gardens of the Sun. The Temple of the Sun beyond the gardens, and
+the Sacsahuaman hill surmounted by the fortress, rising in the
+distance. The palace of Colcampata on the hillside.
+
+(Enter OLLANTAY L. [in a gilded tunic, breeches of llama sinews, usutas
+or shoes of llama hide, a red mantle of ccompi or fine cloth, and the
+chucu or head-dress of his rank, holding a battle-axe (champi) and club
+(macana)] and PIQUI CHAQUI coming up from the back R. [in a coarse
+brown tunic of auasca or llama cloth, girdle used as a sling, and chucu
+or head-dress of a Cuzqueño].)
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Where, young fleet-foot, hast thou been?
+Hast thou the starry Ñusta seen?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+The Sun forbids such sacrilege
+’Tis not for me to see the star.
+Dost thou, my master, fear no ill,
+Thine eyes upon the Inca’s child?
+
+OLLANTAY.
+In spite of all I swear to love
+That tender dove, that lovely star;
+My heart is as a lamb[6] with her,
+And ever will her presence seek.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Such thoughts are prompted by Supay[7];
+That evil being possesses thee.
+All round are beauteous girls to choose
+Before old age, and weakness come.
+If the great Inca knew thy plot
+And what thou seekest to attain,
+Thy head would fall by his command,
+Thy body would be quickly burnt.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Boy, do not dare to cross me thus.
+One more such word and thou shalt die.
+These hands will tear thee limb from limb,
+If still thy councils are so base.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Well! treat thy servant as a dog,
+But do not night and day repeat,
+‘Piqui Chaqui! swift of foot!
+Go once more to seek the star.’
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Have I not already said
+That e’en if death’s fell scythe[8] was here,
+If mountains should oppose my path
+Like two fierce foes[9] who block the way,
+Yet will I fight all these combined
+And risk all else to gain my end,
+And whether it be life or death
+I’ll cast myself at Coyllur’s feet.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+But if Supay himself should come?
+
+OLLANTAY.
+I’d strike the evil spirit down.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+If thou shouldst only see his nose,
+Thou wouldst not speak as thou dost now.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Now, Piqui Chaqui, speak the truth,
+Seek not evasion or deceit.
+Dost thou not already know,
+Of all the flowers in the field,
+Not one can equal my Princess?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Still, my master, thou dost rave.
+I think I never saw thy love.
+Stay! was it her who yesterday
+Came forth with slow and faltering steps
+And sought a solitary[10] path[11]?
+If so, ’tis true she’s like the sun,
+The moon less beauteous than her face.[12]
+
+OLLANTAY.
+It surely was my dearest love.
+How beautiful, how bright is she
+This very moment thou must go
+And take my message to the Star.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I dare not, master; in the day,
+I fear to pass the palace gate.
+With all the splendour of the court,
+I could not tell her from the rest.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Didst thou not say thou sawest her?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I said so, but it was not sense.
+A star can only shine at night
+Only at night could I be sure.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Begone, thou lazy good-for-nought.
+The joyful star that I adore,
+If placed in presence of the Sun,
+Would shine as brightly as before.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Lo! some person hither comes,
+Perhaps an old crone seeking alms;
+Yes! Look! he quite resembles one.
+Lot him the dangerous message take.
+Send it by him, O noble Chief!
+From me they would not hear the tale;
+Thy page is but a humble lad.
+
+(Enter the UILLAC UMA, or High Priest of the Sun, at the back, arms
+raised to the Sun. In a grey tunic and black mantle from the shoulders
+to the ground, a long knife in his belt, the undress chucu on his
+head.)
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+O giver of all warmth and light
+O Sun! I fall and worship thee.
+For thee the victims are prepared,
+A thousand llamas and their lambs
+Are ready for thy festal day.
+The sacred fire’ll lap their blood,
+In thy dread presence, mighty one,
+After long fast[13] thy victims fall.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Who comes hither, Piqui Chaqui?
+Yes, ’tis the holy Uillac Uma;
+He brings his tools of augury.
+No puma[14] more astute and wise
+I hate that ancient conjurer
+Who prophesies of evil things,
+I feel the evils he foretells;
+’Tis he who ever brings ill-luck.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Silence, master, do not speak,
+The old man doubly is informed;
+Fore-knowing every word you say,
+Already he has guessed it all.
+
+(He lies down on a bank.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+(_aside_)
+He sees me. I must speak to him.
+
+(The Uillac Uma comes forward.)
+
+
+O Uillac Uma, Great High Priest,
+I bow before thee with respect
+May the skies be clear for thee,
+And brightest sunshine meet thine eyes.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Brave Ollantay! Princely one!
+May all the teeming land be thine;
+May thy far-reaching arm of might
+Reduce the wide-spread universe.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Old man! thine aspect causes fear,
+Thy presence here some ill forebodes;
+All round thee dead men’s bones appear,
+Baskets, flowers, sacrifice.
+All men when they see thy face
+Are filled with terror and alarm.
+What means it all? why comest thou?
+It wants some months before the least.
+Is it that the Inca is ill?
+Perchance hast thou some thought divined
+Which soon will turn to flowing blood.
+Why comest thou? the Sun’s great day,
+The Moon’s libations are not yet
+The moon has not yet nearly reached
+The solemn time for sacrifice.
+Uillac Uma. Why dost thou these questions put,
+In tones of anger and reproach?
+Am I, forsooth, thy humble slave?
+That I know all I’ll quickly prove.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+My beating heart is filled with dread,
+Beholding thee so suddenly;
+Perchance thy coming is a sign,
+Of evils overtaking me.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Fear not, Ollantay! not for that,
+The High Priest comes to thee this day.
+It is perhaps for love of thee,
+That, as a straw is blown by wind,
+A friend, this day, encounters thee.
+Speak to me as to a friend,
+Hide nothing from my scrutiny.
+This day I come to offer thee
+A last and most momentous choice
+’Tis nothing less than life or death.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Then make thy words more clear to me,
+That I may understand the choice;
+Till now ’tis but a tangled skein,
+Unravel it that I may know.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+’Tis well. Now listen, warlike. Chief:
+My science has enabled me,
+To learn and see all hidden things
+Unknown to other mortal men.
+My power will enable me
+To make of thee a greater prince.
+I brought thee up from tender years,
+And cherished thee with love and care
+I now would guide thee in the right,
+And ward off all that threatens thee.
+As chief of Anti-suyu now,
+The people venerate thy name;
+Thy Sovereign trusts and honours thee,
+E’en to sharing half his realm.
+From all the rest he chose thee out,
+And placed all power in thy hands;
+He made thy armies great and strong,
+And strengthened thee against thy foes
+How numerous soe’er they be,
+They have been hunted down by thee.
+Are these good reasons for thy wish,
+To wound thy Sovereign to the heart?
+His daughter is beloved by thee;
+Thy passion thou wouldst fain indulge,
+Lawless and forbidden though it be.
+I call upon thee, stop in time,
+Tear this folly from thy heart.
+If thy passion is immense,
+Still let honour hold its place.
+You reel, you stagger on the brink
+I’d snatch thee from the very edge.
+Thou knowest well it cannot be,
+The Inca never would consent.
+If thou didst e’en propose it now,
+He would be overcome with rage;
+From favoured prince and trusted chief,
+Thou wouldst descend to lowest rank.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+How is it that thou canst surely know
+What still is hidden in my heart?
+Her mother only knows my love,
+Yet thou revealest all to me.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+I read thy secret on the moon,
+As if upon the Quipu knots;
+And what thou wouldst most surely hide,
+Is plain to me as all the rest.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+In my heart I had divined
+That thou wouldst search me through and through
+Thou knowest all, O Councillor,
+And wilt thou now desert thy son?
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+How oft we mortals heedless drink,
+A certain death from golden cup
+Recall to mind how ills befall,
+And that a stubborn heart ’s the cause.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+(_kneeling_).
+Plunge that dagger in my breast,
+Thou holdst it ready in thy belt;
+Cut out my sad and broken heart
+I ask the favour at thy feet.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+(to Piqui Chaqui).
+Gather me that flower, boy.
+
+(Piqui Chaqui gives him a withered flower and lies down again,
+pretending to sleep.)
+
+
+(To Ollantay).
+Behold, it is quite dead and dry.
+Once more behold! e’en now it weeps,
+It weeps. The water flows from it.
+
+(Water flows out of the flower.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+More easy for the barren rocks
+Or for sand to send forth water,
+Than that I should cease to love
+The fair princess, the joyful star.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Put a seed into the ground,
+It multiplies a hundredfold;
+The more thy crime shall grow and swell,
+The greater far thy sudden fall.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Once for all, I now confess
+To thee, O great and mighty Priest;
+Now learn my fault. To thee I speak,
+Since thou hast torn it from my heart.
+The lasso to tie me is long,
+’Tis ready to twist round my throat
+Yet its threads are woven with gold,
+It avenges a brilliant crime.
+Cusi Coyllur e’en now is my wife,
+Already we’re bound and are one;
+My blood now runs in her veins,
+E’en now I am noble as she.
+Her mother has knowledge of all,
+The Queen can attest what I say;
+Let me tell all this to the King,
+I pray for thy help and advice.
+I will speak without fear and with force,
+He may perhaps give way to his rage
+Yet he may consider my youth,
+May remember the battles I’ve fought;
+The record is carved on my club.
+
+(Holds up his macana.)
+
+
+He may think of his enemies crushed,
+The thousands I’ve thrown at his feet.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Young Prince! thy words are too bold,
+Thou hast twisted the thread of thy fate—
+Beware, before ’tis too late;
+Disentangle and weave it afresh,
+Go alone to speak to the King,
+Alone bear the blow that you seek;
+Above all let thy words be but few,
+And say them with deepest respect;
+Be it life, be it death that you find,
+I will never forget thee, my son.
+
+(Walks up and exit.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Ollantay, thou art a man,
+No place in thy heart for fear;
+Cusi Coyllur, surround me with light.
+Piqui Chaqui, where art thou?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+(jumping up).
+I was asleep, my master,
+And dreaming of evil things.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Of what?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Of a fox with a rope round its neck.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Sure enough, thou art the fox.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+It is true that my nose is growing finer,
+And my ears a good deal longer.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Come, lead me to the Coyllur.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+It is still daylight.
+
+(Exeunt.)
+
+SCENE 2
+
+A great hall in the Colcampata, then the palace of the Queen or Ccoya
+Anahuarqui. In the centre of the back scene a doorway, and seen through
+it gardens with the snowy peak of Vilcanota in the distance. Walls
+covered with golden slabs. On either side of the doorway three
+recesses, with household gods in the shape of maize-cobs and llamas,
+and gold vases in them. On R. a golden tiana or throne. On L. two lower
+seats covered with cushions of fine woollen cloth.
+
+(ANAHUARQUI, the Queen or Ccoya (in blue chucu, white cotton bodice,
+and red mantle secured by a golden topu or pin, set with emeralds, and
+a blue skirt), and the princess CUSI COYLLUR (in a chucu, with feathers
+of the tunqui, white bodice and skirt, and grey mantle with topu, set
+with pearls) discovered seated.)
+
+ANAHUARQUI.
+Since when art thou feeling so sad,
+Cusi Coyllur! great Inti’s prunelle?[15]
+Since when hast thou lost all thy joy,
+Thy smile and thy once merry laugh?
+Tears of grief now pour down my face,
+As I watch and mourn over my child;
+Thy grief makes me ready to die.
+Thy union filled thee with joy,
+Already you’re really his wife.
+Is he not the man of thy choice?
+O daughter, devotedly loved,
+Why plunged in such terrible grief?
+
+(Cusi Coyllur has had her face hidden in the pillows. She now rises to
+her feet, throwing up her arms.)
+
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+O my mother! O most gracious Queen!
+How can my tears o’er cease to flow,
+How can my bitter sighs surcease,
+While the valiant Chief I worship
+For many days and sleepless nights,
+All heedless of my tender years,
+Seems quite to have forgotten me?
+He has turned his regard from his wife
+And no longer seeks for his love.
+O my mother! O most gracious Queen!
+O my husband so beloved!
+Since the day when I last saw my love
+The moon has been hidden from view;
+The sun shines no more as of old,
+In rising it rolls among mist;
+At night the stars are all dim,
+All nature seems sad and distressed
+The comet with fiery tail,
+Announces my sorrow and grief
+Surrounded by darkness and tears,
+Evil auguries fill me with fears.
+O my mother! O most gracious Queen!
+O my husband so beloved!
+
+ANAHUARQUI.
+Compose thyself and dry thine eyes,
+The King, thy father, has arrived.
+Thou lovest Ollantay, my child?
+
+(Enter the INCA PACHACUTI. On his head the mascapaycha, with the llautu
+or imperial fringe. A tunic of cotton embroidered with gold; on his
+breast the golden breastplate representing the sun, surrounded by the
+calendar of months. Round his waist the fourfold belt of tocapu. A
+crimson mantle of fine vicuna wool, fastened on his shoulders by golden
+puma’s heads. Shoes of cloth of gold. He sits down on the golden
+tiana.)
+
+INCA PACHACUTI.
+Cusi Coyllur! Star of joy,
+Most lovely of my progeny!
+Thou symbol of parental love—
+Thy lips are like the huayruru.[16]
+Rest upon thy father’s breast,
+Repose, my child, within mine arms.
+
+(Cusi Coyllur comes across. They embrace.)
+
+
+Unwind thyself, my precious one,
+A thread of gold within the woof.
+All my happiness rests upon thee,
+Thou art my greatest delight.
+Thine eyes are lovely and bright,
+As the rays of my father the Sun.
+When thy lips are moving to speak,
+When thine eyelids are raised with a smile,
+The wide world is fairly entranced.
+Thy breathing embalms the fresh air;
+Without thee thy father would pine,
+Life to him would be dreary and waste.
+He seeks for thy happiness, child,
+Thy welfare is ever his care.
+
+(Cusi Coyllur throws herself at his feet.)
+
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+O father, thy kindness to me
+I feel; and embracing thy knees
+All the grief of thy daughter will cease,
+At peace when protected by thee.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+How is this! my daughter before me
+On knees at my feet, and in tears?
+I fear some evil is near—
+Such emotion must needs be explained.
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+The star does weep before Inti,
+The limpid tears wash grief away.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Rise, my beloved, my star,
+Thy place is on thy dear father’s knee.
+
+(Cusi Coyllur rises and sits on a stool by her father. An attendant
+approaches.)
+
+
+ATTENDANT.
+O King! thy servants come to please thee.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Let them all enter.
+
+(Boys and girls enter dancing. After the dance they sing a harvest
+song.)
+
+
+Thou must not feed,
+O Tuyallay,[17]
+In Ñusta’s field,
+O Tuyallay.
+Thou must not rob,
+O Tuyallay,
+The harvest maize,
+O Tuyallay.
+The grains are white,
+O Tuyallay,
+So sweet for food,
+O Tuyallay.
+The fruit is sweet,
+O Tuyallay,
+The leaves are green
+O Tuyallay;
+But the trap is set,
+O Tuyallay.
+The lime is there,
+O Tuyallay.
+We’ll cut thy claws,
+O Tuyallay,
+To seize thee quick,
+O Tuyallay.
+Ask Piscaca,[18]
+O Tuyallay,
+Nailed on a branch,
+O Tuyallay.
+Where is her heart,
+O Tuyallay?
+Where her plumes,
+O Tuyallay?
+She is cut up,
+O Tuyallay,
+For stealing grain,
+O Tuyallay.
+See the fate,
+O Tuyallay,
+Of robber birds,
+O Tuyallay.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Cusi Coyllur, remain thou here,
+Thy mother’s palace is thy home
+Fail not to amuse thyself,
+Surrounded by thy maiden friends.
+
+(Exeunt the Inca Pachacuti, the Ccoya Anahuarqui, and attendants.)
+
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+I should better like a sadder song.
+My dearest friends, the last you sang
+To me foreshadowed evil things;[19]
+You who sang it leave me now.
+
+(Exeunt boys and girls, except one girl who sings.)
+
+
+Two loving birds are in despair,[20]
+    They moan, they weep, they sigh;
+For snow has fallen on the pair,
+    To hollow tree they fly.
+
+But lo! one dove is left alone
+    And mourns her cruel fate;
+She makes a sad and piteous moan,
+    Alone without a mate.
+
+She fears her friend is dead and gone—
+    Confirmed in her belief,
+Her sorrow finds relief in song,
+    And thus she tells her grief.
+
+‘Sweet mate! Alas, where art thou now?
+    I miss thine eyes so bright,
+Thy feet upon the tender bough,
+    Thy breast so pure and bright.’
+
+She wanders forth from stone to stone,
+    She seeks her mate in vain;
+‘My love! my love!’ she makes her moan,
+    She falls, she dies in pain.
+
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+That yarahui is too sad,
+Leave me alone.
+
+(Exit the girl who sang the yarahui.)
+
+
+Now my tears can freely flow.
+
+SCENE 3
+
+Great hall in the palace of Pachacuti. The INCA, as before, discovered
+seated on a golden tiana L. Enter to him R. OLLANTAY and RUMI-ÑAUI.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+The time has arrived, O great Chiefs,
+To decide on the coming campaign.
+The spring is approaching us now,
+And our army must start for the war.
+To the province of Colla[21] we march—
+There is news of Chayanta’s[22] advance.
+The enemies muster in strength,
+They sharpen their arrows and spears.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+O King, that wild rabble untaught
+Can never resist thine array;
+Cuzco alone with its height
+Is a barrier that cannot be stormed.
+Twenty four thousand of mine,
+With their champis[23] selected with care,
+Impatiently wait for the sign,
+The sound of the beat of my drums,[24]
+The strains of my clarion and fife.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Strive then to stir them to fight,
+Arouse them to join in the fray,
+Lest some should desire to yield,
+To escape the effusion of blood.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+The enemies gather in force,
+The Yuncas[25] are called to their aid;
+They have put on their garbs for the war,
+And have stopped up the principal roads.
+All this is to hide their defects—
+The men of Chayanta are base.
+We hear they’re destroying the roads,
+But we can force open the way;
+Our llamas are laden with food—
+We are ready to traverse the wilds.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Are you really ready to start
+To punish those angry snakes?
+But first you must give them a chance
+To surrender, retiring in peace,
+So that blood may not flow without cause,
+That no deaths of my soldiers befall.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+I am ready to march with my men,
+Every detail prepared and in place,
+But alas! I am heavy with care,
+Almost mad with anxious suspense.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Speak, Ollantay. Tell thy wish—
+’Tis granted, e’en my royal fringe.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Hear me in secret, O King.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+(to Rumi-ñaui).
+Noble Chief of Colla, retire;
+Seek repose in thy house for a time.
+I will call thee before very long,
+Having need of thy valour and skill.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+With respect I obey thy command.
+
+(Exit Rumi-ñaui.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Thou knowest, O most gracious Lord,
+That I have served thee from a youth,
+Have worked with fortitude and truth,
+Thy treasured praise was my reward.[26]
+
+All dangers I have gladly met,
+For thee I always watched by night,
+For thee was forward in the fight,
+My forehead ever bathed in sweat.
+
+For thee I’ve been a savage foe,
+Urging my Antis[27] not to spare,
+But kill and fill the land with fear,
+And make the blood of conquered flow.
+
+My name is as a dreaded rope,[28]
+I’ve made the hardy Yuncas[29] yield,
+By me the fate of Chancas[30] sealed,
+They are thy thralls without a hope.
+
+’Twas I who struck the fatal blow,
+When warlike Huancavilca[31] rose,
+Disturbing thy august repose,
+And laid the mighty traitor low.
+
+Ollantay ever led the van,
+Wherever men were doomed to die;
+When stubborn foes were forced to fly,
+Ollantay ever was the man.
+
+Now every tribe bows down to thee—
+Some nations peacefully were led,
+Those that resist their blood is shed—
+But all, O King, was due to me.
+
+O Sovereign Inca, great and brave,
+Rewards I know were also mine,
+My gratitude and thanks are thine,
+To me the golden axe you gave.
+
+Inca! thou gavest me command
+And rule o’er all the Anti race,
+To me they ever yield with grace,
+And thine, great King, is all their land
+
+My deeds, my merits are thine own
+To thee alone my work is due.
+For one more favour I would sue,
+My faithful service—thy renown.
+
+(Ollantay kneels before the Inca.)
+
+
+Thy thrall: I bow to thy behest,
+Thy fiat now will seal my fate.
+O King, my services are great,
+I pray thee grant one last request.
+
+I ask for Cusi Coyllur’s hand
+If the Ñusta’s[32] love I’ve won.
+O King! you’ll have a faithful son,
+Fearless, well tried, at thy command.
+
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Ollantay, thou dost now presume.
+Thou art a subject, nothing more.
+Remember, bold one, who thou art,
+And learn to keep thy proper place.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Strike me to the heart.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+’Tis for me to see to that,
+And not for thee to choose.
+Thy presumption is absurd. Be gone!
+
+(Ollantay rises and exit R.)
+
+SCENE 4
+
+A rocky height above Cuzco to the NE. Distant view of the city of Cuzco
+and of the Sacsahuaman hill, crowned by the fortress.
+
+(Enter OLLANTAY armed.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Alas, Ollantay! Ollantay!
+Thou master of so many lands,
+Insulted by him thou servedst well.
+O my thrice-beloved Coyllur,
+Thee too I shall lose for ever.
+O the void[33] within my heart,
+O my princess! O precious dove!
+Cuzco! O thou beautiful city!
+Henceforth behold thine enemy.
+I’ll bare thy breast to stab thy heart,
+And throw it as food for condors;
+Thy cruel Inca I will slay.
+I will call my men in thousands,
+The Antis will be assembled,
+Collected as with a lasso.
+All will be trained, all fully armed,
+I will guide them to Sacsahuaman.
+They will be as a cloud of curses,
+When flames rise to the heavens.
+Cuzco shall sleep on a bloody couch,
+The King shall perish in its fall;
+Then shall my insulter see
+How numerous are my followers.
+When thou, proud King, art at my feet,
+We then shall see if thou wilt say,
+‘Thou art too base for Coyllur’s hand.’
+Not then will I bow down and ask,
+For I, not thou, will be the King—
+Yet, until then, let prudence rule.
+
+(Enter PIQUI CHAQUI from back, R.)
+
+
+Piqui Chaqui, go back with speed,
+Tell the Princess I come to-night.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I have only just come from there—
+The palace was deserted quite,
+No soul to tell me what had passed,
+Not even a dog[34] was there.
+All the doors were closed and fastened,
+Except the principal doorway,
+And that was left without a guard.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+And the servants?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Even the mice had fled and gone,
+For nothing had been left to eat.
+Only an owl was brooding there,
+Uttering its cry of evil omen.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Perhaps then her father has taken her,
+To hide her in his palace bounds.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+The Inca may have strangled her;
+Her mother too has disappeared.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Did no one ask for me
+Before you went away?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Near a thousand men are seeking
+For you, and all are enemies,
+Armed with their miserable clubs.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+If they all arose against me,
+With this arm I’d fight them all
+No one yet has beat this hand,
+Wielding the champi sharp and true.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I too would like to give a stroke
+At least, if my enemy was unarmed.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+To whom?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I mean that Urco Huaranca chief,
+Who lately was in search of thee.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Perhaps the Inca sends him here
+If so my anger is aroused.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Not from the King, I am assured,
+He cometh of his own accord
+And yet he is an ignoble man.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+He has left Cuzco, I believe;
+My own heart tells me it is so
+I’m sure that owl announces it.
+We’ll take to the hills, at once.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+But wilt thou abandon the Star?
+
+OLLANTAY.
+What can I do, alas!
+Since she has disappeared?
+Alas, my dove! my sweet princess.
+
+(Music heard among the rocks.)
+
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Listen to that yarahui,
+The sound comes from somewhere near.
+
+(They sit on rocks.)
+
+
+SONG
+
+In a moment I lost my beloved,
+    She was gone, and I never knew where;
+I sought her in fields and in woods,
+    Asking all if they’d seen the Coyllur.
+
+Her face was so lovely and fair,
+    They called her the beautiful Star.
+No one else can be taken for her,
+    With her beauty no girl can compare.
+
+Both the sun and the moon seem to shine,
+    Resplendent they shine from a height,
+Their rays to her beauty resign
+    Their brilliant light with delight.
+
+Her hair is a soft raven black,
+    Her tresses are bound with gold thread,
+They fall in long folds down her back,
+    And add charm to her beautiful head.
+
+Her eyelashes brighten her face,
+    Two rainbows less brilliant and fair,
+Her eyes full of mercy and grace,
+    With nought but two, suns can compare.
+
+The eyelids with arrows concealed,
+    Gaily shoot their rays into the heart
+They open, lo! beauty revealed,
+    Pierces through like a glittering dart.
+
+Her cheeks Achancara[35] on snow,
+    Her face more fair than the dawn,
+From her mouth the laughter doth flow,
+    Between pearls as bright as the morn.
+
+Smooth as crystal and spotlessly clear
+    Is her throat, like the corn in a sheaf
+Her bosoms, which scarcely appear,
+    Like flowers concealed by a leaf.
+
+Her beautiful hand is a sight,
+    As it rests from all dangers secure,
+Her fingers transparently white,
+    Like icicles spotless and pure.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+(_rising_).
+That singer, unseen and unknown,
+Has declared Coyllur’s beauty and grace;
+He should fly hence, where grief overwhelms.
+O Princess! O loveliest Star,
+I alone am the cause of thy death,
+I also should die with my love.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Perhaps thy star has passed away,
+For the heavens are sombre and grey.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+When they know that their Chief has fled,
+My people will rise at my call,
+They will leave the tyrant in crowds
+And he will be nearly alone.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Thou hast love and affection from men,
+For thy kindness endears thee to all,
+For thy hand’s always open with gifts,
+And is closely shut only to me.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Of what hast thou need?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+What? the means to got this and that,
+To offer a gift to my girl,
+To let others see what I have,
+So that I may be held in esteem.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Be as brave as thou art covetous,
+And all the world will fear thee.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+My face is not suited for that;
+Always gay and ready to laugh,
+My features are not shaped that way.
+To look brave! not becoming to me.
+What clarions sound on the hills?
+It quickly cometh near to us.
+
+(Both look out at different sides.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+I doubt not those who seek me—come,
+Let us depart and quickly march.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+When flight is the word, I am here.
+
+(Exeunt.)
+
+SCENE 5
+
+The great hall of the palace of Pachacuti. The INCA, as before, seated
+on the tiana. Enter to him RUMI-ÑAUI.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+I ordered a search to be made,
+But Ollantay was not to be found.
+My rage I can scarcely control—
+Hast thou found this infamous wretch?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+His fear makes him hide from thy wrath.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Take a thousand men fully armed,
+And at once commence the pursuit.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Who can tell what direction to take?
+Three days have gone by since his flight,
+Perchance he’s concealed in some house,
+And till now he is there, safely hid.
+
+(Enter a chasqui or messenger with quipus.)
+
+
+Behold, O King, a messenger
+From Urubamba he has come.
+
+CHASQUI.
+I was ordered to come to my King,
+Swift as the wind, and behold me.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+What news bringest thou?
+
+CHASQUI.
+This quipu will tell thee, O King.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Examine it, O Rumi-ñaui.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Behold the llanta, and the knots[36]
+Announce the number of his men.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+(to Chasqui).
+And thou, what hast thou seen?
+
+CHASQUI.
+’Tis said that all the Anti host
+Received Ollantay with acclaim;
+Many have seen, and they recount,
+Ollantay wears the royal fringe.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+The quipu record says the same.
+
+PACHACUTI.
+Scarcely can I restrain my rage!
+Brave chief, commence thy march at once,
+Before the traitor gathers strength.
+If thy force is not enough,
+Add fifty thousand men of mine.
+Advance at once with lightning speed,
+And halt not till the foe is reached.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+To-morrow sees me on the route,
+I go to call the troops at once
+The rebels on the Colla road,
+I drive them flying down the rocks.
+Thine enemy I bring to thee,
+Dead or alive, Ollantay falls.
+Meanwhile, O Inca, mighty Lord,
+Rest and rely upon thy thrall.
+
+(Exeunt.)

+END OF ACT I.

+
+
+ACT II
+
+
+SCENE 1
+
+Ollantay-tampu. Hall of the fortress-palace. Back scene seven immense
+stone, slabs, resting on them a monolith right across. Above masonry.
+At sides masonry with recesses; in the R. centre a great doorway. A
+golden tiana against the central slab.
+
+(Enter OLLANTAY and URCO HUARANCA, both fully armed.)
+
+
+URCO HUARANCA.
+Ollantay, thou hast been proclaimed
+By all the Antis as their Lord.
+The women weep, as you will see—
+They lose their husbands and their sons,
+Ordered to the Chayanta war.
+When will there be a final stop
+To distant wars? Year after year
+They send us all to far-off lands,
+Where blood is made to flow like rain.
+The King himself is well supplied
+With coca and all kinds of food.
+What cares he that his people starve?
+Crossing the wilds our llamas die,
+Our feet are wounded by the thorns,
+And if we would not die of thirst
+We carry water on our backs.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Gallant friends! Ye hear those words,
+Ye listen to the mountain chief.
+Filled with compassion for my men,
+I thus, with sore and heavy heart,
+Have spoken to the cruel king:
+‘The Anti-suyu must have rest;
+All her best men shan’t die for thee,
+By battle, fire, and disease—
+They die in numbers terrible.
+How many men have ne’er returned,
+How many chiefs have met their death
+For enterprises far away?’
+For this I left the Inca’s court,[37]
+Saying that we must rest in peace;
+Lot none of us forsake our hearths,
+And if the Inca still persists,
+Proclaim with him a mortal feud.
+
+(Enter HANCO HUAYLLU, several chiefs, and a great crowd of soldiers and
+people.)
+
+
+PEOPLE.
+Long live our king, Ollantay
+Bring forth the standard and the fringe,
+Invest him with the crimson fringe
+In Tampu now the Inca reigns,
+He rises like the star of day.
+
+(The chiefs, soldiers, and people range them selves round. Ollantay is
+seated on the tiana by Hanco Huayllu, an aged Auqui or Prince.)
+
+
+HANCO HUAYLLU.
+Receive from me the royal fringe,
+’Tis given by the people’s will.
+Uilcanota[38] is a distant land,
+Yet, even now, her people come
+To range themselves beneath thy law.
+
+(Ollantay is invested with the fringe. He rises.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Urco Huaranca, thee I name
+Of Anti-suyu Chief and Lord;
+Receive the arrows and the plume,
+
+(Gives them.)
+
+
+Henceforth thou art our general.
+
+PEOPLE.
+Long life to the Mountain Chief.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Hanco Huayllu,[39] of all my lords
+Thou art most venerable and wise,
+Being kin to the august High Priest,
+It is my wish that thou shouldst give
+The ring unto the Mountain Chief.
+
+(Urco Huaranca kneels, and Hanco Huayllu addresses him.)
+
+
+HANCO HUAYLLU.
+This ring around thy finger’s placed
+That thou mayst feel, and ne’er forget,
+That when in fight thou art engaged,
+Clemency becomes a hero chief.
+
+URCO HUARANCA.
+A thousand times, illustrious king,
+I bless thee for thy trust in me.
+
+HANCO HUAYLLU.
+Behold the valiant Mountain Chief,
+Now fully armed from head to foot,
+And bristling like the quiscahuan,[40]
+Accoutred as becomes a knight.
+
+(Turning to Urco Huaranca.)
+
+
+Ne’er let thine enemies take thee in rear
+Man of the Puna,[41] it ne’er can be said
+You fled or trembled as a reed.
+
+URCO HUARANCA.
+Hear me, warriors of the Andes!
+Already we have a valiant king,
+It might be he will be attacked;
+’Tis said th’ old Inca sends a force,
+The men of Cuzco now advance.
+We have not a single day to lose;
+Call from the heights our Puna men,
+Prepare their arms without delay,
+Make Tampu strong with rampart walls,
+No outlet leave without a guard;
+On hill slopes gather pois’nous herbs
+To shoot our arrows, carrying death.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+(to Urco Huaranca).
+Select the chiefs!
+Fix all the posts for different tribes;
+Our foes keep marching without sleep—
+Contrive to check them by surprise.
+The compi[42] ruse may cause their flight.
+
+URCO HUARANCA.
+Thirty thousand brave Antis are here,
+Amongst them no weakling is found;
+Apu Maruti,[43] the mighty in war,
+From high Uilcapampa[44] will come,
+On steep Tinquiqueru[45] he’ll stand
+To march when the signal appears;
+On the opposite side of the stream
+Prince Chara[46] has mustered his force;
+In the gorge Charamuni[47] I post
+Ten thousand armed Antis on watch;
+Another such force is in wait
+On the left, in the vale of Pachar.[48]
+We are ready to meet our foes,
+We await them with resolute calm;
+They will march in their confident pride
+Until their retreat is cut off,
+Then the trumpet of war shall resound,
+From the mountains the stones shall pour down,
+Great blocks will be hurled from above.
+The Huancas[49] are crushed or dispersed,
+Then the knife shall do its fell work,
+All will perish by blows from our hands,
+Our arrows will follow their flight.
+
+PEOPLE and SOLDIERS.
+It is well! It is very well!
+
+(Cheers and martial music.)
+
+
+(Exeunt.)
+
+SCENE 2
+
+A wild place the mountains. Distant view of Ollantay-tampu.
+
+(Enter Rumi-ñaui, torn and ragged, and covered with blood, with two
+attendants.)
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Ah! Rumi-ñaui—Rumi-ñaui,[50]
+Thou art a fated rolling stone,[51]
+Escaped indeed, but quite alone,
+And this is now thy _yarahui_.
+
+Ollantay posted on the height,
+Thou couldst not either fight or see,
+Thy men did quickly fall or flee;
+No room was there to move or fight.
+
+Thou knowest now thy heart did beat
+And flutter like a butterfly;
+Thy skill thou couldst not then apply,
+No course was left thee but retreat.
+
+They had recourse to a surprise,
+Our warriors immolated quite.
+Ah! that alone could turn thee white—
+From shame like that, canst e’er arise?
+
+By thousands did thy warriors fall,
+I hardly could alone escape,
+With open mouth fell death did gape,
+A great disaster did befall.
+
+Holding that traitor to be brave,
+I sought to meet him face to face—
+Rushing to seek him with my mace,
+I nearly found a warrior’s grave.
+
+My army then was near the hill,
+When suddenly the massive stones
+Came crashing down, with cries and moans,
+While clarions sounded loud and shrill.
+
+A rain of stones both great and small
+Down on the crowd of warriors crashed,
+On every side destruction flashed,
+Thy heart the slaughter did appal.
+
+Like a strong flood the blood did flow,
+Inundating the ravine;
+So sad a sight thou ne’er hast seen—
+No man survived to strike a blow.
+
+O thou who art by this disgraced,
+What figure canst thou ever show
+Before the king, who seeks to know
+The truth, which must be faced?
+
+’Tis better far myself to kill,
+Or losing every scrap of hope,
+To hang my body with this rope.
+
+(Takes a sling off his cap—going.)
+
+
+Yet may it not be useful still?
+
+(Turns again.)
+
+
+When bold Ollantay’s end has come.[52]
+
+(Exit.)
+
+SCENE 3
+
+A garden in the house of the Virgins of the Sun. Chilca shrubs and
+mulli trees (Schinus Molle) with panicles of red berries. The walls of
+the house at the back, with a door. A gate (L.) opening on the street.
+
+(YMA SUMAC discovered at the gate looking out. To her enters (R.) PITU
+SALLA. Both dressed in white with golden belts.)
+
+PITU SALLA.
+Yma Sumac, do not approach
+So near that gate, and so often;
+It might arouse the Mother’s wrath.
+Thy name, which is so dear to me,
+Will surely pass from mouth to mouth.
+Honour shall be shown to chosen ones,[53]
+Who wish to close the outer gate.
+Amuse thyself within the walls,
+And no one then can say a word.
+Think well what you can find within—
+It gives you all you can desire,
+Of dresses, gold, and dainty food.
+Thou art beloved by every one,
+E’en Virgins of the royal blood.
+The Mothers love to carry thee,
+They give thee kisses and caress—
+You they prefer to all the rest.
+What more could any one desire,
+Than always to remain with them,
+Destined to be servant of the Sun?
+In contemplating Him there’s peace.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Pitu Salla, ever you repeat
+The same thing and the same advice;
+I will open to thee my whole heart,
+And say exactly what I think.
+Know that to me this court and house
+Are insupportable—no less;
+The place oppresses—frightens me—
+Each day I curse my destiny.
+The faces of all the Mama Cuna
+Fill me with hatred and disgust,
+And from the place they make me sit,
+Nothing else is visible.
+Around me there is nothing bright,
+All are weeping and ne’er cease
+If I could ever have my way,
+No person should remain within.
+I see the people pass outside,
+Laughing as they walk along.
+The reason it is plain to see—
+They are not mewed and cloistered here.
+Is it because I have no mother,
+That I am kept a prisoner?
+Or is it I’m a rich novice?
+Then from to-day I would be poor.
+Last night I could not get to sleep,
+I wandered down a garden walk;
+In the dead silence of the night,
+I heard one mourn. A bitter cry,
+As one who sought and prayed for death.
+On every side I looked about,
+My hair almost on end with fright,
+Trembling, I cried, ‘Who canst thou be?’
+Then the voice murmured these sad words:
+‘O Sun, release me from this place!’
+And this, amidst such sighs and groans!
+I searched about, but nothing found—
+The grass was rustling in the wind.
+I joined my tears to that sad sound,
+My heart was torn with trembling fear.
+When now the recollection comes,
+I’m filled with sorrow and with dread.
+You know now why I hate this place.
+Speak no more, my dearest friend,
+Of reasons for remaining here.
+
+PITU SALLA.
+At least go in. The Mother may appear.
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+But pleasant is the light of day.
+
+(Exit, R.)
+
+
+(Enter MAMA CCACCA, L., in grey with black edges and belt.)
+
+
+MAMA CCACCA.
+Pitu Salla, hast thou spoken
+All I told thee to that child?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+I have said all to her.
+
+MAMA CCACCA.
+And she, does she answer freely?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+She has wept and asked for pity,
+Refusing to comply at all.
+She will not take the virgin’s oath.
+
+MAMA CCACCA.
+And this in spite of thy advice?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+I showed her the dress she will wear,
+Telling her misfortune would befall
+If she refused to be a chosen one—
+That she would ever be an outcast,
+And for us a child accursed.
+
+MAMA CCACCA.
+What can she imagine,
+Wretched child of an unknown father,
+A maid without a mother,
+Just a fluttering butterfly?
+Tell her plainly, very plainly,
+That these walls offer her a home,
+Suited for outcasts such as she,
+And here no light is seen.
+
+(Exit, L.)
+
+
+PITU SALLA.
+Ay, my Sumac! Yma Sumac!
+These walls will be cruel indeed,
+To hide thy surpassing beauty.
+
+(Glancing to where Mama Ccacca went out.)
+
+
+What a serpent! What a puma!
+
+
+
+
+ACT III
+
+SCENE 1
+
+The Pampa Moroni, a street in Cuzco. Enter RUMI-ÑAUI (L.)[54] in a long
+black cloak with a train, and PIQUI CHAQUI (R.), meeting each other.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Whence, Piqui Chaqui, comest thou?
+Dost thou here seek Ollantay’s fate?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Cuzco, great lord, is my birthplace;
+I hasten back unto my home.
+I care not more to pass my days
+In dismal and profound ravines.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Tell me, Ollantay—what does he?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+He is busy now entangling
+An already entangled skein.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+What skein?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Should you not give me some present
+If you want me to talk to you.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+With a stick will I give thee blows,
+With a rope I will hang thee.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+O, do not frighten me!
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Speak then.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Ollantay. Is it Ollantay?
+I can remember no more.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Piqui Chaqui! Take care!
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+But you will not listen!
+I am turning blind,
+My ears are getting deaf,
+My grandmother is dead,
+My mother is left alone.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Where is Ollantay? Tell me.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I am in want of bread,
+And the Paccays[55] are not ripe.
+I have a long journey to-day—
+The desert is very far off.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+If you continue to vex me
+I will take your life.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Ollantay, is it? He is at work.
+Ollantay! He is building a wall,
+With very small stones indeed;
+They are brought by little dwarfs—
+So small that to be a man’s size
+They have to climb on each other’s backs.
+But tell me, O friend of the King,[56]
+Why art thou in such long clothes,
+Trailing like the wings of a sick bird[57]—
+As they are black it is better.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Hast thou not seen already
+That Cuzco is plunged in grief?
+The great Inca Pachacuti[58] is dead,
+All the people are in mourning,
+Every soul is shedding tears.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Who, then, succeeds to the place
+Which Pachacuti has left vacant?
+If Tupac Yupanqui succeeds,
+That Prince is the youngest
+There are some others older.[59]
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+All Cuzco has elected him,
+For the late king chose him,
+Giving him the royal fringe;
+We could elect no other.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+I hasten to bring my bed here.[60]
+
+(Exit running.)
+
+SCENE 2
+
+Great hall of the palace of Tupac Yupanqui. The INCA seated on golden
+tiana (C.).
+
+(Enter the HIGH PRIEST or UILLAC UMA, with priests and chosen Virgins
+of the Sun. The INCA dressed as his father. Uillac Uma in full dress,
+wearing the huampar chucu. Virgins in white with gold belts and
+diadems. They range themselves by the throne (L.). Then enter RUMI-ÑAUI
+and a crowd of chiefs, all in full dress, ranging themselves by the
+throne (R.).)
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+This day, O Councillors and Chiefs,
+Let all receive my benison;
+You Holy Virgins of the Sun[61]
+Receive our father’s tenderest care.
+The realm, rejoicing, hails me king;
+From deep recesses of my heart
+I swear to seek the good of all.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+To-day the smoke of many beasts
+Ascends on high towards the sun,
+The Deity with joy accepts
+The sacrifice of prayer and praise.
+We found in ashes of the birds
+Our only Inca, King, and Lord,
+In the great llama sacrifice;
+All there beheld an eagle’s form,
+We opened it for augury,
+But lo! the heart and entrails gone.
+The eagle Anti-suyu means—
+To thy allegiance they return.
+
+(Bowing to the Inca.)
+
+
+Thus I, thy augur, prophesy.
+
+(Acclamation.) (Exeunt all but Uillac Uma and Rumi-ñaui.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(turning to Rumi-ñaui).
+Behold the Hanan-suyu Chief
+Who let the enemy escape,
+Who led to almost certain death
+So many thousands of my men.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Before his death thy father knew
+Disaster had befallen me;
+’Tis true, O King, it was my fault,
+Like a stone[62] I gave my orders,
+And volleying stones soon beat me down;
+It was with stones I had to fight,
+And in the end they crushed my men.
+Oh! grant me, Lord, a single chance,
+Give perfect freedom to my plans,
+Myself will to the fortress march,
+And I will leave it desolate.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+For thee to strive with all thy might,
+For thee thine honour to regain,
+For thou shalt ne’er command my men
+Unless thy worthiness is proved.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Not many days shall pass, O King,
+E’er all the Antis are subdued.
+I’ve seen it in the quipu roll,
+Haste! Haste! thou Rumi Tunqui. [63]
+
+(Exeunt.)
+
+SCENE 3
+
+The great terrace entrance to Ollantay-tampu. On R. a long masonry wall
+with recesses at intervals. At back a great entrance doorway. On L.
+terraces descend, with view of valley and mountains.
+
+(Guards discovered at entrance doorway. To them enter RUMI-ÑAUI in
+rags, his face cut and slashed with wounds, and covered with blood.)
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Will no one here have pity on me?
+
+ONE OF THE GUARDS.
+Who art thou, man?
+Who has ill-treated thee?
+Thou comest in a frightful state,
+Covered with blood and gaping wounds.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Go quickly to thy king and say
+That one he loves has come to him.
+
+
+ONE OF THE GUARDS.
+Thy name?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+There is no need to give a name.
+
+
+ONE OF THE GUARDS.
+Wait here.
+
+(Exit one of the guards.)
+
+
+(Enter OLLANTAY with guards, R. front.)
+
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+A thousand times I thee salute,
+Ollantay, great and puissant king!
+Have pity on a fugitive
+Who seeks a refuge here with thee.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Who art thou, man? Approach nearer.
+Who has thus ill-treated thee?
+Were such deep and fearful wounds
+Caused by a fall, or what mishap?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Thou knowest me, O mighty chief.
+I am that stone that fell down once,
+But now I fall before thy feet;
+O Inca! mercy! Raise me up!
+
+(Kneels.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Art thou the noble Rumi-ñaui,
+Great Chief and Lord of Hanan-suyu?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Yes, I was that well-known Chief—
+A bleeding fugitive to-day.
+Ollantay. Rise, comrade mine. Let us embrace.
+
+(Rises.)
+
+
+Who has dared to treat thee thus,
+And who has brought thee here to me
+Within my fortress, on my hearth?
+
+(To attendants.)
+
+
+Bring new clothes for my oldest friend.
+
+(Exit an attendant.)
+
+
+How is it that thou art alone?
+Camest thou not fearing death?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+A new king reigns in Cuzco now—
+Tupac Yupanqui is installed.
+Against the universal wish,
+He rose upon a wave of blood;
+Safety he sees in headless trunks,
+The sunchu[64] and the nucchu[65] red
+Are sent to all he would destroy.
+Doubtless you have not forgot
+That I was Hanan-suyu’s Chief.
+Yupanqui ordered me to come;
+Arrived, I came before the king,
+And as he has a cruel heart,
+He had me wounded as you see;
+And now thou knowest, king and friend,
+How this new Inca treated me.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Grieve not, old friend Rumi-ñaui,
+Thy wounds before all must be cured;
+I see in thee th’ avenging knife,
+To use against the tyrant’s heart.
+At Tampu now we celebrate
+The Sun’s great Raymi festival;
+On that day all who love my name,
+Throughout my realms hold festival.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Those three days of festival
+To me will be a time of joy,
+Perhaps I may be healed by then,
+So that my heart may pleasure seek.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+It will be so. For three whole nights
+We drink and feast, to praise the Sun,
+The better to cast all care aside
+We shall be shut in Tampu fort.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+The youths, as is their wont, will find
+Their great delight in those three nights,
+Then will they rest from all their toils,
+And carry off the willing girls.
+
+SCENE 4
+
+A corridor in the palace of Chosen Virgins.
+
+(Enter YMA SUMAC and PITU SALLA.)
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Pitu Salla, beloved friend,
+How long wilt thou conceal from me
+The secret that I long to know?
+Think, dearest, of my anxious heart,
+How I shall be in constant grief
+Until you tell the truth to me.
+Within these hard and cruel bounds
+Does some one suffer for my sins?
+My sweet companion, do not hide
+From me, who ’tis that mourns and weeps
+Somewhere within the garden walls.
+How is it she is so concealed
+That I can never find the place?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+My Sumac, now I’ll tell thee all—
+Only concerning what you hear,
+And still more surely what you see,
+You must be dumb as any stone;
+And you too must be well prepared
+For a most sad heart-rending sight—
+’Twill make thee weep for many days.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+I will not tell a living soul
+What you divulge. But tell me all,
+I’ll shut it closely in my heart.
+
+SCENE 5
+
+A secluded part of the gardens of the Virgins, (L.) flowers, (R.) a
+thicket of mulli[66] and chilca,[67] concealing a stone door.
+
+(PITU SALLA and YMA SUMAC.)
+
+
+PITU SALLA.
+In this garden is a door of stone,
+But wait until the Mothers sleep,
+The night comes on. Wait here for me.
+
+(Exit.)
+
+
+(Yma Sumac reclines on a bank and sleeps.
+Night comes on, Yma Sumac awakes.)
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+A thousand strange presentiments
+Crowd on me now, I scarce know what—
+Perhaps I shall see that mournful one
+Whose fate already breaks my heart.
+
+(Pitu Salla returns with a cup of water, a small covered vase
+containing food, and a torch which she gives to Yma Sumac. She leads
+Yma Sumac through bushes to the stone door, fixes the torch, presses
+something, and the door swings round.)
+
+
+(CUSI COYLLUR is discovered senseless, extended on the ground, a snake
+twining itself round her waist.)
+
+
+PITU SALLA.
+Behold the princess for whom you seek.
+Well! is thy heart now satisfied?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Oh, my friend, what do I behold?
+Is it a corpse that I must see?
+Oh, horror! A dungeon for the dead!
+
+(She faints.)
+
+
+PITU SALLA.
+What misfortune has now arrived?
+O my Sumac, my dearest love,
+O come to thyself without delay!
+Arouse thee. Arise, my lovely flower.
+
+(Yma Sumac revives.)
+
+
+Fear not, my dove, my lovely friend,
+’Tis not a corpse. The princess lives,
+Unhappy, forlorn, she lingers here.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Is she, then, still a living being?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+Approach nearer, and you can help.
+She lives indeed. Look. Watch her now.
+Give me the water and the food.
+
+(To Cusi Coyllur, while helping her to sit up.)
+
+
+O fair princess, I bring thee food
+And cooling water to refresh.
+Try to sit up. I come with help.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Who art thou, my sweetest dove?
+Why art thou shut in such a place?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+Take a little food, we pray.
+Perchance without it, you may die.
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+How happy am I now to see,
+After these long and dismal years,
+The new and lovely face of one
+Who comes with thee and gives me joy.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+O my princess, my sister dear,
+Sweet bird, with bosom of pure gold,
+What crime can they accuse thee of,
+That they can make thee suffer thus?
+What cruel fate has placed thee here
+With death on watch in serpent’s form?
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+O charming child, the seed of love,
+Sweet flower for my broken heart,
+I have been thrust in this abyss.
+I once was joined to a man
+As pupil is part of the eye;
+But alas! has he forgotten me?
+The King know not that we were joined
+By such indissoluble bonds,
+And when he came to ask my hand,
+That King dismissed him in a rage,
+And cruelly confined me here.
+Many years have passed since then,
+Yet, as you see, I’m still alive;
+No single soul have I beheld
+For all those sad and dismal years,
+Nor have I found relief nor hope.
+But who art thou, my dear, my love,
+So young, so fresh, so pitiful?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+I too, like thee, am full of grief,
+For long I’ve wished to see and love,
+My poor forlorn and sad princess.
+No father, no mother are mine,
+And there are none to care for me.
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+What age art thou?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+I ought to number many years,
+For I detest this dreadful house,
+And as it is a dreary place,
+The time in it seems very long.
+
+PITU SALLA.
+She ought to number just ten years
+According to the account I’ve kept.
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+And what is thy name?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+They call me Yma Sumac now,
+But to give it me is a mistake.
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+O my daughter! O my lost love,
+Come to thy mother’s yearning heart.
+
+(Embraces Yma Sumac.)
+
+
+Thou art all my happiness,
+My daughter, come, O come to me;
+This joy quite inundates my soul,
+It is the name I gave to thee.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+O my mother, to find thee thus!
+We must be parted never more.
+Do not abandon me in grief.
+To whom can I turn to free thee,
+To whom can I appeal for right?
+
+PITU SALLA.
+Make no noise, my dearest friend.
+To find us thus would ruin me.
+Let us go. I fear the Mothers.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+(to Cusi Coyllur).
+Suffer a short time longer here,
+Until I come to take thee hence,
+Patience for a few more days.
+Alas! my mother dear! I go,
+But full of love, to seek for help.
+
+(Exeunt closing the stone door, all but Cusi Coyllur. They extinguish
+the torch.)
+
+SCENE 6
+
+Great hall in the palace of Tupac Yupanqui.
+
+(The INCA discovered seated on the tiana. To him enter the UILLAC UMA,
+in full dress.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+I greet thee, great and noble Priest!
+Hast thou no news of Rumi-ñaui.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Last night, with guards, I wandered out
+On heights towards Uilcanuta.
+Far off I saw a crowd in chains,
+No doubt the Anti prisoners,v For they are all defeated quite.
+The cacti[68] on the mountains smoke,
+E’en now the fortress is in flames.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+And Ollantay, is he taken?
+Perhaps—I hope his life is saved.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Ollantay was among the flames,
+’Tis said that no one has escaped.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+The Sun, my Father, is my shield,
+I am my father’s chosen child.
+We must subdue the rebel host,
+For that I am appointed here.
+
+(Enter a CHASQUI with a quipu in his hand.)
+
+
+THE CHASQUI.
+This morning at the dawn of day,
+Rumi-ñaui despatched this quipu.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(to the Uillac Uma).
+See what it says.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+This knot, coloured burnt ahuarancu,
+Tells us that Tampu too is burnt;
+This triple knot to which is hung
+Another which is quintuple,
+In all of quintuples are three,
+Denotes that Anti-suyu’s thine,
+Its ruler prisoner of war.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(to the Chasqui).
+And thou. Where wert thou?
+
+THE CHASQUI.
+Sole King and Lord! Child of the Sun!
+I am the first to bring the news,
+That thou mayst trample on the foe,
+And in thine anger drink their blood.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Did I not reiterate commands
+To spare and not to shed their blood—
+Not anger but pity is my rule.
+
+THE CHASQUI.
+O Lord, we have not shed their blood;
+They were all captured in the night,
+Unable to resist our force.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Recount to me in full detail
+The circumstances of the war.
+
+THE CHASQUI.
+For a signal thy warriors wait.
+The nights passed at Tinquiqueru,[69]
+Concealed in the cavern below,
+Yanahuara[70] men joining us late.
+
+We waited within the large cave,
+Thy men always ready to fight,
+Behind foliage well out of sight,
+Thy warriors patient and brave.
+
+But for three long days and dark nights,
+No food for the zealous and bold;
+Feeling hungry, thirsty, and cold,
+We waited and watched for the lights.[71]
+
+Rumi-ñaui sent orders at length,
+When the Raymi[72] they carelessly keep,
+And all of them drunk or asleep,
+We were then to rush on with our strength.
+
+Word came to surprise our foes,
+Rumi-ñaui had opened the gate,
+As cautious and silent as fate—
+We were masters with none to oppose.
+
+Those rebels fell into the trap,
+The arrows came on them like rain,
+Most died in their sleep without pain,
+Not knowing their fatal mishap.
+
+Ollantay, still trusting, was ta’en,
+The same Urco Huaranca befell;
+Hanco Huayllu is captive as well,
+We thy rebels in fetters detain.
+
+The Antis by thousands are slain,
+A fearful example is made,
+They are beaten, crushed, and betrayed,
+Their women in sorrow and pain.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+As witness of what has occurred,
+On Vilcamayu’s storied banks,
+No doubt thou hast told me the truth.
+It was a well designed attack.
+
+(Enter RUMI-ÑAUI followed by several chiefs.)
+
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Great Inca, I kneel at thy feet,
+This time You will hear my report,
+I beseech thee to deign to restore
+The trust that I forfeited once.
+
+(Kneels.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Rise, great Chief, receive my regard,
+I accept thy great service with joy;
+Thou didst cast o’er the waters thy net,
+And hast captured a marvellous fish.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Our enemies perished in crowds,
+Their chiefs were captured and bound,
+Overwhelmed by my terrible force,
+Like a rook detached from the heights.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Was much blood shed in the assault?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+No, Lord, not a drop has been shed,
+To thine orders I strictly adhered.
+Those Antis were strangled in sleep,
+But the fort is entirely razed.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Where are the rebels?
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+They are waiting with agonised fear,
+For their fate, to perish by cords.
+The people are sending up cries,
+Demanding their deaths without fail.
+Their women are now in their midst,
+The children raise hideous cries;
+It is well that thine order should pass
+To finish their traitorous lives.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+It must be so without any doubt,
+That the orphans may not be alone,
+Let all perish, not sparing one,
+Thus Cuzco recovers her peace,
+Let the traitors be brought before me.
+In my presence the sentence they’ll hear.
+
+(Exit Rumi-ñaui, and re-enter followed by guards in charge of OLLANTAY,
+URCO HUARANCA, and HANCO HAUYLLU, bound and blindfold, followed by
+guards with PIQUI CHAQUI bound.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Take the bands off the eyes of those men.
+And now, Ollantay, where art thou?
+And where art thou, O Mountain Chief?
+Soon thou wilt roll down from the heights.
+
+(To the soldiers who bring in Piqui Chaqui.)
+
+
+Whom have we here?
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Many fleas in the Yuncas abound,
+And torment the people full sore,
+With boiling water they are killed,
+And I, poor flea,[73] must also die.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Tell me, Hanco Huayllu, tell me,
+Why art thou Ollantay’s man?
+Did not my father honour thee?
+Did he not grant thy requests?
+Did he ever have a secret from thee?
+Speak also, you, the other rebels,
+Ollantay and the Mountain Chief.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+O father, we have nought to say,
+Our crimes are overwhelming us.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(to the Uillac Uma).
+Pronounce their sentence, great High Priest.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+The light that fills me from the Sun
+Brings mercy and pardon to my heart.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Now thy sentence, Rumi-ñaui.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+For crimes enormous such as these
+Death should ever be the doom
+It is the only way, O King!
+To warn all others from such guilt.
+To stout tocarpus[74] they should be
+Secured and bound with toughest rope,
+Then should the warriors freely shoot
+Their arrows until death is caused.
+
+PIQUI CHAQUI.
+Must it be that evermore
+The Antis must all perish thus?
+Alas! then let the branches burn
+What pouring out of blood is here.[75]
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Silence, rash man, nor dare to speak,
+
+(General lamentation outside.)
+
+
+Having been rolled just like a stone,
+My heart has now become a stone.[76]
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Know that tocarpus are prepared.
+Remove those traitors from my sight,
+Let them all perish, and at once.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Take these three men without delay
+To the dreaded execution stakes;
+Secure them with unyielding ropes,
+And hurl them from the lofty rocks.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Stop! Cast off their bonds.
+
+(The guards unbind them. They all kneel.)
+
+
+(To Ollantay, kneeling).
+Rise from thy knees; come to my side.
+
+(Rises.)
+
+
+Now thou hast seen death very near,
+You that have shown ingratitude,
+Learn how mercy flows from my heart;
+I will raise thee higher than before.
+Thou wert Chief of Anti-suyu,
+Now see how far my love will go;
+I make thee Chief in permanence.
+Receive this plume as general,
+This arrow[77] emblem of command.[78]
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(to the Uillac Uma).
+Thou mighty Pontiff of the Sun,
+Robe him in the regal dress.
+Raise up the others from their knees,
+And free them from the doom of death.
+
+(Urco Huaranca, Hanco Huayllu, and Piqui Chaqui rise, the latter
+looking much relieved. The Uillac Uma places the robe on Ollantay’s
+shoulders.)
+
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Ollantay, learn to recognise
+Tupac Yupanqui’s generous mind;
+From this day forth be thou his friend,
+And bless his magnanimity.
+This ring contains my potent charm,
+For this I place it on thy hand.
+
+(Gives him a ring, or bracelet.)
+
+
+This mace receive, ’tis from the king,
+
+(Gives him a mace (champi).)
+
+
+It is his gracious gift to thee.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+With tears I shall nearly consume
+That mace thus presented to me;
+I am tenfold the great Inca’s slave,
+In this world no equal is found,
+My heart’s fibres his latchets shall be;
+From this moment my body and soul
+To his service alone shall belong.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Now, Mountain Chief! come near to me,
+Ollantay is given the arrow and plume,
+Though to me he gave fury and war.
+Notwithstanding all that has passed
+He continues the Andean chief,
+And will lead his rebels to peace;
+Thee also I choose for the plume;
+From this day thou art a great chief,
+And never forget in thy thoughts,
+I saved thee from death and disgrace.
+
+URCO HUARANCA.
+Great King and most merciful Lord,
+But now, expecting my death,
+I am ever thy most faithful slave.
+
+(Uillac Uma gives him the plume and arrow.)
+
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+O Urco, the Inca has made
+A great and a powerful chief,
+And grants thee with marvellous grace
+The arrow and also the plume.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Illustrious King, I venture to ask,
+Will Anti-suyu have two chiefs.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+There will not be two, O Rumi-ñaui
+The Mountain Chief will rule the Antis;
+In Cuzco Ollantay will reign—
+As Viceroy deputed by me
+His duties will call him to act
+As ruler throughout the whole realm.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+O King! thou dost raise me too high,
+A man without service or claim;
+I am thy obedient slave—
+Mayst thou live for a thousand years.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+The mascapaycha now bring forth,
+And to it the llautu attach.
+Uillac Uma, adorn him with these,
+And proclaim his state to the world.
+Yes, Ollantay shall stand in my place,
+Raised up like the star of the morn,
+For Colla this month I shall start;
+All preparations are made.
+In Cuzco Ollantay will stay,
+My Ranti[79] and Viceroy and friend.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+I would fain, O magnanimous King,
+Follow thee in the Chayanta war;
+Thou knowest my love for such work.
+Peaceful Cuzco is not to my taste,
+I prefer to be thy Canari,[80]
+To march in the van of thy force,
+And not to be left in the rear.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Thou shouldst find the wife of thy choice,
+And with her reign happily here
+In Cuzco; repose without care;
+Rest here while I’m absent in war.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Great King, thy sorrowful slave
+Already had chosen a wife.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+How is it I know not of this?
+It should be reported to me.
+I will load her with suitable gifts;
+Why was this concealed from my eyes?
+
+OLLANTAY.
+In Cuzco itself disappeared
+That sweet and adorable dove;
+One day she did rest in my arms,
+And the next no more to be seen.
+In grief I made search far and near,
+Earth seemed to have swallowed her up,
+To have buried her far from my sight;
+O such, mighty King, is my grief.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Ollantay! afflict not thyself,
+For now thou must take up thy place
+Without turning thy eyes from thy work.
+
+(To Uillac Uma.)
+
+
+High priest, obey my command.
+
+(The Uillac Uma goes to the wings (R.) and addresses the people
+outside.)
+
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+O people, hear what I say:
+The Inca, our King and our Lord,
+Thus declares his imperial will:
+Ollantay shall reign in his place.
+
+PEOPLE outside.
+Ollantay Ranti! Ollantay Ranti!
+
+(Shouts and acclamations.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(to Rumi-ñaui and other chiefs.)
+You also render him homage.
+
+RUMI-ÑAUI.
+Prince Ollantay! Incap Ranti!
+Thy promotion gives me joy.
+All the Antis now released,
+Return rejoicing to their homes.
+
+(He and all the Chiefs bow to Ollantay.)
+
+
+GUARDS WITHOUT.
+You cannot pass. Go back! go back!
+Voice without. Why, is this a festive day?
+Let me pass. I must see the king;
+I pray you do not stop me,
+Do not drive me from the door;
+If you stop me I shall die.
+Have a care. You will kill me.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+What noise is that without?
+
+GUARD.
+It is a young girl who comes weeping
+And insists upon seeing the king.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Let her come in.
+
+(Enter Yma Sumac.)
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Which is the Inca, my lord,
+That I may kneel down at his feet?
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Who art thou, charming maid?
+Behold the King.
+
+(Yma Sumac throws herself at the King’s feet.)
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+O my King! be thou my father,
+Snatch from evil thy poor servant.
+Extend thy royal hand to me.
+O merciful child of the Sun,
+My mother is dying at this hour
+In a foul and loathsome cave;
+She is killed in cruel martyrdom—
+Alas! she is bathed in her own blood.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+What inhumanity, poor child!
+Ollantay, take this case in hand.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Young maiden, take me quickly there;
+We will see who it is that suffers.
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+No, sir. Not so. It is the King himself
+Should go with me.
+Perhaps he may recognise her;
+
+(To Ollantay.)
+
+
+For you, I know not who you are.
+O King, arise, do not delay,
+I fear my mother breathes her last,
+At least may be in mortal pain;
+O Inca! Father! grant my prayer.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Illustrious King, thou wilt consent;
+Let us all seek this luckless one—
+Thou canst release from cruel bonds.
+Lot us go, O King!
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+(rising).
+Come all! Come all!
+In midst of reconciliations
+This young maid assaults my heart.
+
+(Exeunt.)
+
+SCENE 7
+
+The garden in the palace of Virgins of the Sun (same scene as Act III,
+Scene 5). Stone door more visible.
+
+(Enter the INCA TUPAC YUPANQUI with YMA SUMAC, OLLANTAY, UILLAC UMA and
+RUMI nAUI; URCO HUARANCA, HANCO HUAYLLU and PIQUI CHAQUI in the
+background.)
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+But this is the Aclla Huasi;[81]
+My child, art thou not mistaken?
+Where is thy imprisoned mother?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+In a dungeon within these bounds
+My mother has suffered for years,
+Perhaps even now she is dead.
+
+(She points to the stone door.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+What door is this?
+
+(Enter MAMA CCACCA and PITU SALLA. Mama Ccacca kneels and kisses the
+Inca’s hand.)
+
+
+MAMA CCACCA.
+Is it a dream or reality,
+That I behold my sovereign?
+Tupac Yupanqui. Open that door.
+
+(Mama Ccacca opens the door.)
+
+
+(CUSI COYLLUR discovered chained and fainting, with a puma and a snake,
+one on each side of her.)
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+O my mother, I feared to find
+That you had already passed away;
+Pitu Salla! Haste. Bring water.
+Perhaps my dove may still revive.
+
+(Exit Pitu Salla.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+What horrid cavern do I see?
+Who is this woman? what means it?
+What cruel wretch thus tortures her?
+What means that chain bound around her?
+Mama Ccacca, come near to me
+What hast thou to say to this?v Is it the effect of malice
+That this poor creature lingers here?
+
+MAMA CCACCA.
+It was thy father’s dread command;
+A punishment for lawless love.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Begone! begone! harder than rock.[82]
+Turn out that puma and the snake,[83]
+Break down that door of carved stone.
+(To Mama Ccacca.)
+Let me not see thy face again.
+A woman living as a bat;
+This child has brought it all to light.
+
+(Enter Pitu Salla with water. She sprinkles it over Cusi Coyllur, who
+revives.)
+
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+Where am I? who are these people?
+Yma Sumac, my beloved child,
+Come to me, my most precious dove.
+Who are all these men before me?
+
+(She begins to faint again and is restored by water.)
+
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Fear not, my mother, ’tis the King;
+The King himself comes to see you.
+The great Yupanqui is now here.
+Speak to him. Awake from thy trance.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+My heart is torn and sorrowful
+At sight of so much misery.
+Who art thou, my poor sufferer?
+Child, tell me now thy mother’s name?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Father! Inca! Clement Prince!
+Have those cruel bonds removed.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+It is for me to remove them,
+And to relieve this sore distress.
+
+(Cuts the rope fastening Cusi Coyllur to the wall.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+(to Yma Sumac).
+What is thy mother’s name?
+
+YMA SUMAC.
+Her name was once Cusi Coyllur,
+But it seems a mistake. Her joy
+Was gone when she was prisoned here.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+O renowned King, great Yupanqui,
+In her you see my long lost wife.
+
+(Prostrates himself before the Inca.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+It all appears a dream to me.
+The ‘Star’! my sister![84] and thy wife.
+O sister! what newly found joy.
+O Cusi Coyllur, my sister,
+Come here to me, and embrace me,
+Now thou art delivered from woe.
+
+(Music.)
+
+
+Thou hast found thy loving brother;
+Joy calms the anguish of my heart.
+
+(Embraces Cusi Coyllur.)
+
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+Alas! my brother, now you know
+The cruel tortures I endured
+During those years of agony;
+Thy compassion now has saved me.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Who art thou, dove, that hast suffered?
+For what sin were you prisoned here?
+Thou mightest have lost thy reason.
+Thy face is worn, thy beauty gone,
+Thy looks as one risen from death.
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Cusi Coyllur, I had lost thee,
+Thou wast quite hidden from my sight,
+But thou art brought again to life—
+Thy father should have killed us both.
+My whole heart is torn with sorrow.
+Star of joy, where is now thy joy?
+Where now thy beauty as a star?
+Art thou under thy father’s curse?
+
+CUSI COYLLUR.
+Ollantay, for ten dreary years
+That dungeon has kept us apart;
+But now, united for new life,
+Some happiness may yet be ours.
+Yupanqui makes joy succeed grief,
+He may well count[85] for many years.
+
+UILLAC UMA.
+Bring new robes to dress the princess.
+
+(They put on her royal robes. The High Priest kisses her hand.)
+
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Ollantay, behold thy royal wife,
+Honour and cherish her henceforth.
+And thou, Yma Sumac, come to me,
+I enlace you in the thread of love;
+Thou art the pure essence of Coyllur.
+
+(Embraces her.)
+
+
+OLLANTAY.
+Thou art our protector, great King,
+Thy noble hands disperse our grief;
+Thou art our faith and only hope—
+Thou workest by virtue’s force.
+
+TUPAC YUPANQUI.
+Thy wife is now in thy arms;
+All sorrow now should disappear,
+Joy, new born, shall take its place.
+
+(Acclamations from the Chiefs, and Piqui Chaqui. Music: huancars
+(drums), pincullus (flutes), and pututus (clarions).)

+4 (return) [ The wives of the Incas were called _ccoya_. The ccoya of
+the second Inca was a daughter of the chief of _Sanoc_. The third Inca
+married a daughter of the chief of Oma, the fourth married a girl of
+_Tacucaray_, the wife of the fifth was a daughter of a _Cuzco_ chief.
+The sixth Inca married a daughter of the chief of _Huayllacan_, the
+seventh married a daughter of the chief of Ayamarca, and the eighth
+went to _Anta_ for a wife. This Anta lady was the mother of Pachacuti.
+The wife of Pachacuti, named _Anahuarqui_, was a daughter of the chief
+of _Choco_. There was no rule about marrying sisters when Pachacuti
+succeeded. He introduced it by making his son Tupac Yupanqui marry his
+daughter Mama Ocllo, but this was quite unprecedented. The
+transgression of a rule which he had just made may account for his
+extreme severity.]
+
+5 (return) [ A bust, on an earthen vase, was presented to Don Antonio
+Maria Alvarez, the political chief of Cuzco, in 1837, by an Indian who
+declared that it had been handed down in his family from time
+immemorial, as a likeness of the general, Rumi-ñaui, who plays an
+important part in this drama of Ollantay. The person represented must
+have been a general, from the ornament on the forehead, called
+mascapaycha, and there are wounds cut on the face.—Museo Erudito, No.
+B.]
+
+6 (return) [ _Chita_ is the lamb of the llama. A lamb of two or three
+months was a favourite pet in the time of the Incas. It followed its
+mistress, adorned with a little bell and ribbons.]
+
+7 (return) [ Supay, an evil spirit, according to some authorities.]
+
+8 (return) [ Ichuna, a sickle or scythe. The expression has been cited
+by General Mitre and others as an argument that the drama is modern,
+because this is a metaphor confined to the old world. But ichuna was in
+use, in Quichua, in this sense, before the Spaniards came. The word is
+from Ichu, grass.]
+
+9 (return) [ The Peruvians personified a mountain as two spirits, good
+and evil. In writing poetically of a mountain opposing, it would be
+referred to in the persons of its genii or spirits, and spoken of as
+two foes, not one.]
+
+10 (return) [ Rurun, desert, solitude.]
+
+11 (return) [ Tasquiy, to march; tasquina, promenade, path.]
+
+12 (return) [ Cusi Coyllur, while daylight lasted, was, in the eyes of
+Piqui Chaqui, like the sun. A change takes place at twilight, and at
+night she is like the moon.]
+
+13 (return) [ Fasting was a preparation for all great religious
+ceremonies. Victims for sacrifice underwent a previous fast, which was
+looked upon in the fight of purification before being offered to the
+Deity.]
+
+14 (return) [ They gave the attributes we usually assign to the fox to
+the puma.]
+
+15 (return) [ Intip llirpun, ‘apple of the sun’s eye.’ There is no
+English equivalent that is suitable.]
+
+16 (return) [ Huayruru is the seed of a thorny bush, erythrina rubra,
+of a bright red colour. Zegarra has coral as the equivalent for
+huayruru.]
+
+17 (return) [ The tuya (coccoborus chrysogaster) is a small finch, and
+tuyallay means ‘my little tuya.’]
+
+18 (return) [ The piscaca is a much larger bird than the tuya. These
+piscacas (coccoborus torridus) are nailed to trees as a warning to
+other birds. They are black, with white breasts.]
+
+19 (return) [ In the tuya she sees her husband Ollantay, while the poor
+princess herself is the forbidden grain.]
+
+20 (return) [ This is a yarahui or mournful elegy, of which there are
+so many in the Quichua language. The singers of them were known as
+yarahuec.]
+
+21 (return) [ Colla-suyu, the basin of lake Titicaca.]
+
+22 (return) [ Chayanta, a tribe in the montana south of the Collas.]
+
+23 (return) [ Champi, a one-handed battle-axe.]
+
+24 (return) [ Huancar, a drum; pututu, fife.]
+
+25 (return) [ Yunca, inhabitant of warm valley. Here it refers to the
+wild tribes of the montana.]
+
+26 (return) [ In the original Quichua, Ollantay makes his appeal to the
+Inca in quatrains of octosyllabic verses, the first line rhyming with
+the last, and the second with the third. Garcilasso de la Vega and
+others testify to the proficiency of the Incas in this form of
+composition.]
+
+27 (return) [ Ollantay was Viceroy of Anti-suyu.]
+
+28 (return) [ Chahuar, a rope of aloe fibre. A curb or restraint.]
+
+29 (return) [ Raprancutan cuchurcani: literally, ‘I have clipped their
+wings.’ Rapra, a wing.]
+
+30 (return) [ The powerful nation of Chancas, with their chief,
+Huancavilca, inhabited the great valley of Andahuaylas and were
+formidable rivals of the Incas. But they were subdued by Pachacuti long
+before Ollantay can have been born. An allowable dramatic anachronism.]
+
+31 (return) [ Huancavilca was chief of the powerful nation of Chancas.]
+
+32 (return) [ Ñusta, Princess.]
+
+33 (return) [ Pisipachiyqui, to suffer from the void caused by absence.
+Pisipay, to regret the absence of, to miss any one.]
+
+34 (return) [ The Dominican text has misi, a cat, instead of allco, a
+dog. Von Tschudi thought that misi was a word of Spanish origin.
+Zegarra says that it is not. Before the Spaniards came, there was a
+small wild cat in the Andes called misi-puna. But the Justiniani text
+has allco, a dog.]
+
+35 (return) [ Achancara, a begonia. A red flower in the neighbourhood
+of Cuzco, according to Zegarra. One variety is red and white.]
+
+36 (return) [ The llanta is the main rope of the quipu, about a yard
+long. The small cords of llama wool, of various colours, denoting
+different subjects, each with various kinds of knots, recording
+numbers.]
+
+37 (return) [ This, as we have seen, was not the reason why Ollantay
+fled from Cuzco; but, from a leader’s point of view, it was an
+excellent reason to give to the people of Anti-suyu. The great wars of
+the Incas were, to some extent, a heavy drain upon the people, but the
+recruiting was managed with such skill, and was so equally divided
+among a number of provinces, that it was not much felt.]
+
+38 (return) [ The snowy mountain far to the south, in sight from Cuzco.
+Uilca, sacred; unuta, water. Here is the source of the river Uilcamayu,
+which flows by Ollantay-tampu.]
+
+39 (return) [ The aged Hanco Huayllu as Auqui, or Prince of the Blood,
+and relation of the High Priest, gave eclat to these ceremonies.]
+
+40 (return) [ Quiscahuan. anything full of thorns.]
+
+41 (return) [ Puna, the loftier parts of the Andes.]
+
+42 (return) [ Compi, cloth or a cloak. This was an expression of the
+ancient Peruvians, perhaps equivalent to our ‘hoodwinking.’]
+
+43 (return) [ Apu Maruti was the head of the ayllu of the Inca Yahuar
+Huaccac, grandfather of Pachacuti. It was called the ayllu Aucaylli
+Panaca.—Mesa, Anales del Cuzco, quoted by Zegarra.]
+
+44 (return) [ Uilcapampa, mass of mountains between the Uilcamayu and
+Apurimac.]
+
+45 (return) [ Tinqui Queru, between Urupampa and Tampu. The word means
+‘two vases coupled.’ Here are two rounded hills connected by a saddle,
+three and a half miles from Tampu.]
+
+46 (return) [ Chara, was another descendant of Yahuar Huaccac.]
+
+47 (return) [ A ravine on the right bank of the Vilcamayu.]
+
+48 (return) [ Pachar is on the left bank of the Vilcamayu opposite
+Ollantay-tampu, with which it is connected by a rope bridge.]
+
+49 (return) [ Huancas, natives of the valley of Jauja—Inca recruits.]
+
+50 (return) [ Like Ollantay in his appeal to the Inca, Rumi-ñaui, in
+the original Quichua, has recourse to octosyllabic quatrains, the first
+and last lines rhyming, and the second and third.]
+
+51 (return) [ Rumi, a stone.]
+
+52 (return) [ Clearly, from Rumi-ñaui’s own account, the strategy of
+Urco Huaranca had been a complete and brilliant success.]
+
+53 (return) [ Aclla Cuna, the selected ones, the Virgins of the Sun.
+They were under the supervision of so called Mothers—Mama Cuna. The
+novices were not obliged to take the oaths at the end of their
+novitiate.]
+
+54 (return) [ Rumi-ñaui is the interlocutor in the Justiniani text, in
+the Dominican text, and in the text of Spilsbury. Yet Zegarra would
+substitute the Uillac Uma or High Priest for Rumi-ñaui. His argument is
+that the interlocutor was of the blood-royal, and that the High Priest
+was always of the blood-royal, while Rumi-ñaui was not. But the text
+does not say that the interlocutor was of the royal blood. Zegarra also
+says that the interlocutor wore a black cloak with a long train, and
+that this was the dress of the High Priest. But it was not the dress of
+the High Priest as described by the best authorities. It was probably
+the general mourning dress. The threats addressed to Piqui Chaqui were
+likely enough to come from a soldier, but not from the High Priest as
+he is portrayed in this drama.]
+
+55 (return) [ Paccay (mimosa incana), a tree with large pods, having a
+snow-white woolly substance round the seeds, with sweet juice.]
+
+56 (return) [ The Zegarra and Spilsbury texts have Ccan Incacri, which
+Zegarra translates, ‘relation of the Inca, of the royal family.’
+Spilsbury is more correct. He has ‘partisan of the Inca.’ The more
+authentic Justiniani text has Ccan Pana. The particle ri is one of
+emphasis or repetition. It does not mean a relation.]
+
+57 (return) [ The Zegarra and Spilsbury texts have hualpa, a game bird.
+The Justiniani text has anca, an eagle, which is the correct reading.]
+
+58 (return) [ The Inca Pachacuti does not appear to advantage in the
+drama. But he was the greatest man of his dynasty, indeed the greatest
+that the red race has produced. He was a hero in his youth, a most able
+administrator in mature age. As a very old man some needless cruelties
+are reported of him which annoyed his son.]
+
+59 (return) [ The eldest son was Amaru Tupac. He was passed over by his
+father with his own consent, and was ever faithful to his younger
+brother. He was an able general.]
+
+60 (return) [ This was exactly what Piqui Chaqui was sent to Cuzco to
+find out. The expression Apumusac pununayta, ‘I go to fetch my bed,’ is
+one of joy at any fortunate event, in Quichua.]
+
+61 (return) [ Intic Huamin Caccunan (Intic Huarminca Caycuna, correct),
+‘Ye women of the Sun.’ Zegarra thought, on the authority of Garcilasso
+de la Vega, that these could not be select Virgins of the Sun, because
+the virgins were never allowed outside their convent, and not even
+women might enter. He is clearly wrong. Much higher authorities than
+Garcilasso, as regards this point, especially Valera, tell us that the
+virgins were treated with the greatest honour and respect. They took
+part in great receptions and festivals, and when they passed along the
+streets they had a guard of honour.]
+
+62 (return) [ Rumi. He keeps playing upon his name.]
+
+63 (return) [ Again playing upon the name of Rumi-ñaui. The High Priest
+calls for haste, so he substitutes Tunqui for naui (eye), the tunqui
+(Rupicola Peruviana) being one of the most beautiful birds in the
+forests.]
+
+64 (return) [ Sunchu, a very large composita with a yellow flower,
+growing round Cuzco. It was one of those which were used on sacred
+festivals.]
+
+65 (return) [ Nucchu is a salvia, also considered sacred. A red flower.
+Perhaps these flowers were sent as a summons from the Inca, but I have
+not seen the custom mentioned elsewhere.]
+
+66 (return) [ Schineus Molle, a tree with pinnate leaves, and panicles
+of red berries, well known in the Mediterranean countries, into which
+it was introduced from Peru. Called by the English ‘pepper tree.’]
+
+67 (return) [ Several bushes are called chilca in Peru. Eupatorium
+chilca (R. P.), baccharis scandens, and molina latifolia. Stereoxylon
+pendulum is called puna chilca.]
+
+68 (return) [ A kind of cactus, of which they make needles, grows
+abundantly on the mountains round Ollantay-tampu. It is called
+ahuarancu. They set fire to the cacti as a war signal. Zegarra calls it
+a thistle. The word in the Justiniani text is ahuarancu.]
+
+69 (return) [ Tinqui Queru, between Urupampa and Tampu. The word means
+‘two vases coupled.’ Here are two rounded hills connected by a saddle,
+three and a half miles from Tampu. (Taken from FN#45.)]
+
+70 (return) [ Yanahuara, a ravine near Urubamba, where some of the
+troops of Rumi-ñaui had been posted.]
+
+71 (return) [ Signal lights.]
+
+72 (return) [ Ccapac Raymi, the great festival of the Sun. December
+22.]
+
+73 (return) [ Piqui Chaqui is literally ‘flea foot.’ He is punning on
+his name.]
+
+74 (return) [ Tocarpu, a pole or stake used at executions. Condemned
+prisoners were fastened to a tocarpu before being hurled over a
+precipice.]
+
+75 (return) [ Piqui Chaqui had an inkling that the Inca had expressed
+dislike at the shedding of blood. He ventured to say these words in the
+faint hope that they might remind the Inca of this dislike.]
+
+76 (return) [ Rumi-ñaui at it again: for ever ringing changes on his
+name rumi, a stone.]
+
+77 (return) [ The plume and the arrow were the insignia of a general.]
+
+78 (return) [ Rather a staggerer for Rumi-ñaui! Perhaps, too, the
+change is too sudden, and infringes the probabilities. Tupac Yupanqui
+may have thought that his father had been unjust and that there were
+excuses. It is known that the young Inca was indignant at some other
+cruelties of his father. As a magnanimous warrior he may have despised
+the treacherous methods of Rumi-ñaui. He may have valued Ollantay’s
+known valour and ability, and have been loth to lose his services. All
+these considerations may have influenced him more or less. The rebels
+were the best men he had.]
+
+79 (return) [ Ranti, a deputy.]
+
+80 (return) [ Canari, a warlike tribe of Indians, in the south part of
+the kingdom of Quito. They were first conquered by Tupac Yupanqui, and
+they became devoted to him.]
+
+81 (return) [ Aclla, chosen; Huasi, house: palace of the Virgins of the
+sun.]
+
+82 (return) [ Ccacca means a rock.]
+
+83 (return) [ My former translation, and those of Barranca and Tschudi,
+treated puma and amaru (snake) as epithets applied to Mama Ccacca.
+Zegarra considers that the puma and snake were intended to be actually
+in the dungeon, and I believe he is right. The puma would not have hurt
+his fellow-prisoner. Unpleasant animals were occasionally put into the
+prisons of criminals. The Incas kept pumas as pets.]
+
+84 (return) [ The early Incas never married their sisters or relations.
+Pachacuti’s mother was daughter of the chief of Anta. His wife,
+Anahuarqui, was no relation. But the wife of Tupac Yupanqui was his
+sister Mama Ocllo.]
+
+85 (return) [ A play upon the word yupanqui, which means literally,
+‘you will count.’ The word was a title of the Incas, meaning, ‘you will
+count as virtuous, brave,’ &c.]

+Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
+computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
+exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
+from people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
+generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
+Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
+www.gutenberg.org
+
+Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation

+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary

+
+Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
+widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
+DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
+state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
+donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
+
+Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
+freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
+distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
+volunteer support.
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
+the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
+necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
+edition.
+
+Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
+facility: www.gutenberg.org
+
+This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
