Foge-me pouco a pouco a curta vida
(se por caso é verdade que inda vivo);

Additional quotes by Luís de Camões

My song shall spread where ever there are men,
If wit and art will so much guide my pen.

Porém, pera cantar de vosso gesto
A composição alta e milagrosa
Aqui falta saber, engenho e arte.

He who inflicts a vile and unjust harm by using the power and the force with which he is invested, does not conquer; the true victory is to have on one's side Right naked and entire.
