It avenges a brilliant crime.
Cusi Coyllur e'en now is my wife, Already we 're bound and are one; My blood now runs in her veins, E'en now I am noble as she. Her mother has knowledge of all, The Queen can attest what I say; Let me tell all this to the King, I pray for thy help and advice. I will speak without fear and with force, He may perhaps give way to his rage Yet he may consider my youth, May remember the battles I've fought; The record is carved on my club. (Holds up his macana.) He may think of his enemies crushed, The thousands I've thrown at his feet. Uillac Uma. |
