📕 Excerpt from Mosaico e Sylva de Curiosidades Historicas, Litterarias e BiographicasA mim me tinham dito poetas umas coisas que não acreditei. Sá. De Miranda, e Bernardes; Lobo, e Fernão Al vares; Camões, e Braz Garcia; Sá de Miranda e Quita, os quatro pontos cardeaes tomados de poetas que melodia vam bucolicas, louvores da sancta Vida pastoril virtu des de zagalas que faziam corar as rosas de puro enver gonhadas! Eu não accreditava isto, embora o atrito dedois seculos embaciasse o lustro dos Cºracoes antigos, e complanasse os caminhos fragosos por onde os vícios não tinham podido trepar as montanhas da minha patria.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
