FOOTNOTES:
[1] =León=, an allusion to the lion on the Spanish coat of arms.
[2] =su=, _i.e._, _de los campeones_.
[3] =hace=. The subject is =Marte= in line 2.
[4] =Inca=. When the Spanish _Conquistadores_ came to America, all of
Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and north-western Argentina were inhabited by
the Quichua Indians. These Indians were divided into seven tribes, from
one of which came the Incas who became the rulers of the vast territory
occupied by the Quichuas. The Inca was the head of the ruling class
and consequently the emperor of all the Quichuas. The reference here
is to Atahualpa, the last Inca, who was strangled in 1533 by order of
Pizarro, conqueror of Peru.
[5] =sus=, _i.e._, _del Inca_.
