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

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.
