Leaving these captive scenes behind, he crost

Cavado’s silver current, and the banks

Of Lima, through whose groves in after years,

Mournful yet sweet, Diogo’s amorous lute

Prolong’d its tuneful echoes. But when now

Beyond Arnoya’s tributary tide,

He came where Minho roll’d its ampler stream

By Auria’s ancient walls, fresh horrors met

His startled view; for prostrate in the dust

Those walls were laid, and towers and temples stood
