“O Fishes of the river, have you seen my own dear mother?”
The youngest prince watched the lemon tree carefully every day
He saw standing before him the most beautiful maiden he had ever dreamed of
There in the hall stood the most enormous giant she had ever seen
The giant’s daughter, Guimara, was very much pleased with D. Joaõ
Immediately a great flock of pigeons appeared
With the lovely princess borne safely upon the butterfly’s wings, the prince swiftly escaped
The next day the cat dug up pieces of gold and carried them to the king
