I'll sing a song of love so sweet, so blessed
with harmonious sounds, so true to the name
of love (with two thousand examples), it will enflame
even those with dead hearts in their chest.

Additional quotes by Luís de Camões

Com Amor a rosa,
Que tão fresca, &c.

Once you experience love, I'm persuaded
you'll know what I'm on about in my verses.

Ó que famintos beijos na floresta,
E que mimoso choro que soava!
Que afagos tão suaves, que ira honesta,
Que em risinhos alegres se tornava!
O que mais passam na manhã, e na sesta,
Que Vénus com prazeres inflamava,
Melhor é experimentá-lo que julgá-lo,
Mas julgue-o quem não pode experimentá-lo.
