Inca Pachacuti.

Cusi Coyllur! Star of joy,
Most lovely of my progeny!
Thou symbol of parental love--
Thy lips are like the huayruru.[FN#16]
Rest upon thy father's breast,
Repose, my child, within mine arms.



[FN#16] Huayruru is the seed of a thorny bush, erythrina rubra, of a
bright red colour. Zegarra has coral as the equivalent for huayruru.




(Cusi Coyllur comes across. They embrace.)




Unwind thyself, my precious one,
A thread of gold within the woof.
All my happiness rests upon thee,
Thou art my greatest delight.
Thine eyes are lovely and bright,
As the rays of my father the Sun.
When thy lips are moving to speak,
When thine eyelids are raised with a smile,
