Camões, ii. 73.

By Burton:

"At such a time the Squadron neared the part

where first Melinde's goodly shore unseen,

in awnings drest and prankt with gallant art,

to show that none the Holy Day misween:

Flutter the flags, the streaming Estandart

gleams from afar with gorgeous purple sheen,

tom-toms and timbrels mingle martial jar:

thus past they forwards with the pomp of war."
