Proud over the rest, with splendid wealth arrayed,
As crown on, Europe's head
The Lusitania reign,
Where the land ends and seas begins.

Additional quotes by Luís de Camões

Mudam-se os tempos, mudam-se as vontades,
Muda-se o ser, muda-se a confiança;
Todo o mundo é composto de mudança,
Tomando sempre novas qualidades.

Porque é tamanha bem-aventurança
o dar-vos quanto tenho e quanto posso,
quanto mais vos pago, mais vos devo.

Ever in this world saw I
Good men suffer grave torments,
But even more— Enough to terrify— Men who live out evil lives
Reveling in pleasure and in content.

Proud over the rest, with splendid wealth arrayed, As crown on, Europe's head The Lusitania reign, Where the land ends and seas begins. - Luís de Camões
