Transforma-se o amador na cousa amada,

Não tenho, logo, mais que desejar,
Pois em mim tenho a parte desejada.

Additional quotes by Luís de Camões

And you, fair nymphs of Tagus, parent stream,
If ever your meadows were my pastoral theme,
O come auspicious, and the song inspire
With all the boldness of your hero's fire:
Deep and majestic let the numbers flow,
And, rapt to heaven, with ardent fury glow.

Certifico-te, ó Rei, que se contemplo
Como fui destas praias apartado,
Cheio dentro de dúvida e receio,
Que apenas nos meus olhos ponho o freio.

My sins, my wild loves, and Fate herself
have all conspired against me.
