It was thy father's dread command; A punishment for lawless love.

Tupac Yupanqui.

Begone! begone! harder than rock.[82]

Turn out that puma and the snake,[83]

Break down that door of carved stone.

(To Mama Ccacca.)

Let me not see thy face again.

A woman living as a bat; This child has brought it all to light.

(Enter Pitu Salla with water. She sprinkles it over Cusi Coyllur, who revives.)

Cusi Coyllur.

Where am I? who are these people?

Yma Sumac, my beloved child, Come to me, my most precious dove.

Who are all these men before me?

(She begins to faint again and is restored by water.)

Yma Sumac.

Fear not, my mother, 'tis the King; The King himself comes to see you.

The great Yupanqui is now here.

Speak to him. Awake from thy trance.

Tupac Yupanqui.

My heart is torn and sorrowful At sight of so much misery.

Who art thou, my poor sufferer?

Child, tell me now thy mother's name?

Yma Sumac.

Father! Inca! Clement Prince!

Have those cruel bonds removed.

The Uillac Uma.

It is for me to remove them, And to relieve this sore distress.

(Cuts the rope fastening Cusi Coyllur to the wall.)

Ollantay (to Yma Sumac).

What is thy mother's name?

Yma Sumac.

Her name was once Cusi Coyllur, But it seems a mistake. Her joy Was gone when she was prisoned here.

Ollantay.

O renowned King, great Yupanqui, In her you see my long lost wife.

(Prostrates himself before the Inca.)

Tupac Yupanqui.

It all appears a dream to me.

The 'Star'! my sister![84] and thy wife.

O sister! what newly found joy.

O Cusi Coyllur, my sister, Come here to me, and embrace me, Now thou art delivered from woe.

(Music.)
