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.)
