Urco Huaranca Monologue from Apu Ollantay: A Drama of the Time of the Incas

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

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.
