English poem
Piercèd Giraldo’s vitals through and through 1
by Luís de Camões (1524–1580)
“Piercèd Giraldo’s vitals through and through And eke the huge thick targe he snatcht away From Perez whom he killed; his own with hew And strangest hack of cutlass useless lay. Dies Pedro, and Duarte dies (in lieu Of death amid the Brigians): Born were they Both in Braganza, brave in youthful pride Together lived they, fought they, fell they, died.
