Text Appearing Before Image:
with the military preparations consequent upon the announce-ment of a general rising. In the third scene Rumi-ñaui as general of the royal forces admits defeat by the rebels.
The Lov-Story of Curi-Coyllur
Curi-Coyllur gives birth to a daughter, and is imprisoned in the darksome Convent of Virgins. Her child, Yma Sumac (How Beautiful), is brought up in the same building, but is ignorant of the near presence of her mother. The little girl tells her guardian of groans and lamentations which she has heard in the convent garden, and of the tumultuous emotions with which these sad sounds fill her heart. The Inca Pachacutic's death is announced, and the accession of his son, Yupanqui. Rebellion breaks outonce more, and the suppression of the malcontents is again entrusted to Rumi-ñaui.

Mother and Child
Yma Sumac, the beautiful little daughter of Curi-Coyllur, requests her guardian, Pitu Salla, so pitifully to be allowed to visit her mother in her dungeon that the woman consents, and mother and child are united. Ollanta is brought as a prisoner before the new Inca, who pardons him. At that juncture Yma Sumac enters hurriedly, and begs the monarch to free her mother, Curi-Coyllur. The Inca proceeds to the prison, restores the princess to her lover, and the drama concludes with the Inca bestowing his blessing upon the pair. The play was first put into written form in the seventeenth century, has often been printed, and is now recognised as a genuine aboriginal production.
