English poem
Shalt see, in fine, conspire all India, ’drest 1
by Luís de Camões (1524–1580)
“Shalt see, in fine, conspire all India, ’drest To bellick apparatus; peoples rush Cháúl, Maláca, Goa-town t’ invest, At once such different sites to seize and crush. But see, now Cháúl City sorely prest, The seas with em’inent billows flies to brush Castro, in haste his Portingalls to save When only God in Mercy’s aid they crave.
