"Vês Pam, Patâne, reinos e a longura

De Syāo, que estes e outros mais sujeita;

Olho o rio Menão que se derrama

Do grande lago, que Chiamay se chiama."

Camões, x. 25.

By Burton:

"See Pam, Patane and in length obscure,

Siam that ruleth all with lordly sway;

behold Menam, who rolls his lordly tide

from source Chiámái called, lake long and wide."
