Luís Vaz de Cam?es?Os Lusíadas
Canto Primeiro
1?As armas e os bar?es assinalados,?Que da ocidental praia Lusitana,?Por mares nunca de antes navegados,?Passaram ainda além da Taprobana,?Em perigos e guerras esfor?ados,?Mais do que prometia a for?a humana,?E entre gente remota edificaram?Novo Reino, que tanto sublimaram;
2?E também as memórias gloriosas?Daqueles Reis, que foram dilatando?A Fé, o Império, e as terras viciosas?De áfrica e de ásia andaram devastando;?E aqueles, que por obras valerosas?Se v?o da lei da morte libertando;?Cantando espalharei por toda parte,?Se a tanto me ajudar o engenho e arte.
3?Cessem do sábio Grego e do Troiano?As navega??es grandes que fizeram;?Cale-se de Alexandro e de Trajano?A fama das vitórias que tiveram;?Que eu canto o peito ilustre Lusitano,?A quem Neptuno e Marte obedeceram:?Cesse tudo o que a Musa antígua canta,?Que outro valor mais alto se alevanta.
4?E vós, Tágides minhas, pois criado?Tendes em mim um novo engenho ardente,?Se sempre em verso humilde celebrado?Foi de mim vosso rio alegremente,?Dai-me agora um som alto e sublimado,?Um estilo grandíloquo e corrente,?Porque de vossas águas, Febo ordene?Que n?o tenham inveja às de Hipoerene.
5?Dai-me uma fúria grande e sonorosa,?E n?o de agreste avena ou frauta ruda,?Mas de tuba canora e belicosa,?Que o peito acende e a cor ao gesto muda;?Dai-me igual canto aos feitos da famosa?Gente vossa, que a Marte tanto ajuda;?Que se espalhe e se cante no universo,?Se t?o sublime pre?o cabe em verso.
6?E vós, ó bem nascida seguran?a?Da Lusitana antígua liberdade,?E n?o menos certíssima esperan?a?De aumento da pequena Cristandade;?Vós, ó novo temor da Maura lan?a,?Maravilha fatal
