by Luís de Camões (c1524 - 1580), as Luiz Vaz de Camões
No mar tanta tormenta, e tanto dano
Language: Portuguese (Português)
No mar tanta tormenta, e tanto dano, Tantas vezes a morte apercebida! Na terra tanta guerra, tanto engano, Tanta necessidade aborrecida! Onde pode acolher-se um fraco humano, Onde terá segura a curta vida? Que não se arme, e se indigne o céu sereno Contra um bicho da terra tão pequeno?
