From Apu Ollantay: A Drama of the Time of the Incas by Clements R. (Clements Robert), Sir Markham

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?
