Note 133 — CHAP. II. HISTORY OF PORTUGUESE POETRY AND ELOQUENCE FROM THE EPOCH OF THE INTRODUCTION OF THE ITALIAN STYLE, TILL TOWARDS THE END OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
Thomasina Ross translation
The allusion to this event occurs in the tenth canto of the Lusiad, in which the goddess Thetis from the summit of a hill, points out to Vasco de Gama the theatre of the future conquests of the Portuguese. Thetis says, pointing to the coast of Camboya, but without naming Camoens:—
Este recevera placido e brando No seu regaço os Cantos, que molhados Vem de naufragia triste e miserando, Dos procellosos baixos escapados.
