E canta como lá se embarcaria
Em Belém o remédio deste dano,
Sem saber o que em si ao mar traria,
O grão Pacheco, Aquiles Lusitano.
O peso sentirão, quando entraria,
O curvo lenho e o férvido Oceano,
Quando mais n' água os troncos que gemerem
Contra sua natureza se meterem.
Translation by Robert Ffrench Duff, in The Lusiad of Camoens translated into English Spencerian verse (1880), p. 365:
She sang how in his ship a man would go
From Belem to avenge the cruel shame.
The weight it bears the ocean shall not know,
That great Pacheco who shall justly claim
Of Portuguese Achilles' glorious name;
When he embarks, the surging waves his weight
Shall feel, and all the vessel's beams and frame
Shall groan oppressed beneath the burthen great,
And in the water sink below its usual state. - ↑ Manuel Mira The forgotten Portuguese (1998), p. 153
