PIQUI CHAQUI.
Must it be that evermore
The Antis must all perish thus?
Alas! then let the branches burn
What pouring out of blood is here.[75]
RUMI-ÑAUI.
Silence, rash man, nor dare to speak,
(General lamentation outside.)
Having been rolled just like a stone,
My heart has now become a stone.[76]
TUPAC YUPANQUI.
Know that tocarpus are prepared.
Remove those traitors from my sight,
Let them all perish, and at once.
RUMI-ÑAUI.
Take these three men without delay
To the dreaded execution stakes;
Secure them with unyielding ropes,
And hurl them from the lofty rocks.
TUPAC YUPANQUI.
Stop! Cast off their bonds.
(The guards unbind them. They all kneel.)
(To Ollantay, kneeling).
Rise from thy knees; come to my side.
(Rises.)
