For I do not wish to turn Christian
Nor to be baptized
And I would rather die
Than renounce my faith
Tell this to Don Pedro de Alvarado...
Oh! Wake, my country, wake,
And from your volcanos hurl fire
Burn and destry the conqueror
Who came to put us in chains...
--Te´cun Oman, Maya king, shortly before being slain by Señor de Alvarado, after which Alvarado and his men raped and impregnated his daughters.
