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?) 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.) The Inca may have strangled her; Her mother too has disappeared.
