Additional quotes by Luís de Camões

Ó que não sei de nojo como o conte!
Que, crendo ter nos braços quem amava,
Abraçado me achei com um duro monte
De áspero mato e de espessura brava.
Estando com um penedo fronte a fronte,
Que eu pelo rosto angélico apertava
Não fiquei homem não, mas mudo e quedo,
E junto dum penedo outro penedo.
