Bastardos são tambem Homero e Orpheo

“Bastardos são tambem Homero e Orpheo, Dous a quem tanto os versos illustraram; E os dous de quem o imperio procedeo, Que Troia e Roma em Italia edificaram. Pois se he certo o que a fama já escreveo, Se muitos a Philippo nomearam Por pae do Macedonico mancebo Outros lhe dão o manho Nectanebo.

“Homer and Orpheus, eke, of birth were base, The pair by Po’etry raised to such degree; And they, the Sires of that Imperial race, Who founded Troy and Rome for Italy. Nay, an in written legend trust we place, Though many Philip made the father be Of Macedonia’s Youth, not few would prove Great Nectanébus filcht his mother’s love.

“Assi o filho de Pedro justiçoso, Sendo governador alevantado Do reino, foi nas armas tão ditoso, Que bem póde igualar qualquer passado. Porque vendo-se o reino receoso De ser do Castelhano sujugado, Aos seus o medo tira, que os alcança; Aos outros a falsífica esperança.”

“Thus Justiciary Pedro’s bastard son, Being exalted o’er the realm to sway, By Gestes of arms such goods of Fortune won That equalled ev’ery Great of bygone day. He, when his kingdom feared to be undone And prostrate lie, the proud Castilian’s prey, Bateth the terror his own lieges tries; And in all others Esp’erance falsifies.”
