Stanza 138, line 8 (tr. Richard Fanshawe)
More quotes by Luís de Camões
The moon, full orbed, forsakes her watery cave,
And lifts her lovely head above the wave...
O foul disgrace, of knighthood lasting stain,
By men of arms a helpless lady slain!
Cease all, whose actions ancient bards expressed:
A brighter valour rises in the West.
