_Se estiver nos meus Fados a proxima extinco de meus dias,_


+EPITAFIO.+


De Elmano eis sobre o mrmore sagrado
  A Lyra, em que chorava, ou ria Amores.
  Ser delles, ser das Musas foi seu Fado:
  Honrem-lhe a Lyra Vates, e Amadores.


  _Quod licet, inter vos nomen habete meum._

          Ovidio.




+SONETO II.+


Se o Grande, o que nos Orbes diamantinos
  Tem curvos a seus ps dos Reis os Fados,
  Novamente me dr ver amimados
  De modsta Ventura os meus Destinos;

Se acordarem na Lyra os sons Divinos,
  Que drmem (j da Gloria no lembrados)
  Ao Cro ethreo, candidos, e alados,
  Honrar com Elle hum Deos ireis, meus hynos.

Mas, da humana Carreira inda no meio,
  Se a dbil flor vital sentir murchada
  Por Lei que envlta na existencia veio;

Co'a mente pelos Ceos toda espraiada,
  Direi, de Eternidade ufano, e cheio:
  A Deos,  Mundo!  Natureza!  Nada!




+SONETO III.+


Pela voz do Trovo Corisco intenso
  Clama, que  Natureza impra hum Ente,
  Que cinge do ureo Dia o vo ridente,
  Que vste d'atra Noite o manto denso.

Pasmar na Immensidade he crer o Immenso:
  Tudo em ns o requer, o adora, o sente.
  Prvo-te olhos, ouvidos, peito, e mente?
  Numen! Eu oio, eu olho, eu sinto, eu penso.

Tua Ida,  Gro Ser,  Ser Divino,
  Me he vida, se me do mortal desmaio
  Males que soffro, e males que imagino.

Nunca Impiedade em mim fez bruto ensaio:
  Sempre (at das Paixes no desatino)
  Tua Clemencia amei, temi teu Raio.




+SONETO IV.+


Caro a Fbo, a Filinto, a Lysia,  Fama,
  Na Lcia Fonte, e Argiva immerso Alfeno [15],
  Pelas Deosas Irmas fadado Ismeno [16],
  Em que he Numen Razo, Verdade he flamma:

Canro Melibo [17], por quem derrama
  Invja, e Glria o nctar, e o veneno;
  Filsofo Cantor, meu doce Oleno [18],
  Doce ao Scio infeliz, que em ais te chama!

Elmiro [19], que de Sphia o gro Thesoiro
  Revolves, possessr, com mo suprema;
  E outros, que o Tjo honrais, o Vouga, o Doiro [20];

Dai-me que o Lthes sorvedor no tema:
  Por vs comprado ao Tempo em versos de oiro,
  Cysne talvez que se  hora extrema.

[16] Joo Vicente Pimentel Maldonado.

[17] Miguel Antonio de Barros.

[18] Nuno Alvares Pereira Moniz.

[19] Jos Agostinho de Macedo.

[20] Hum dos que honro o Doiro he Bento Henriques Soares, amigo do
chorado Joo Baptista Junior (Author da nova Castro) amigo, como eu,
daquelle, cuja memoria deve saudosamente viver em quanto o Engenho, e
a Moral forem dotes de preo. O glorioso ao Vouga he Francisco Joaquim
Ringre, que pelo sabor da Antiguidade, que ha nas suas Poesias, e pelo
estro que as levanta, merece esta nota.




+SONETO V.+


Desejo illuso, e vo! Para que traas
  Quadro, que imagens divinaes offrece?
  A terna, ausente Amada me apparece,
  Em Ceo de Amores eclipsando as Graas.

Ante a doce Viso, com que me enlaas,
  (J murcho, estril j) meu ser florece;
  Mas sbito Fantasma eis desvanece
  Chusma de encantos, que em teu sonho abraas.

Croado de Cypreste o Desengano,
  O meu nada me agoira...  dor! mais forte
  Do que em seu gro supremo o esforo humano!

Chorai, Piedade, e Amor, to triste sorte,
  Chorai: longe de Anlia expira Elmano;
  Os que a Ternura unio desune a Morte.




+SONETO VI.+


Dura Filosofia audaz forceja
  Por dar-me essencia nova ao pensamento;
  De bronze diz que forre o soffrimento,
  E em brazas, como em flores, manso esteja:

Diz, que,  Leis de Zenn [21], por vs me reja;
  Que sabe do alto Systema alto Portento:
  Os orgos vivem, morre o sentimento,
  E mudo, e frio, o corao caleja.

Mas ah! Mais sabio que Zenn o Eterno,
  Fonte s lgrimds deo, deo fonte ao riso:
  Co'a Lei das sensaes meu ser govrno.

Se eu folgasse entre o mal que em mim diviso,
  Na mente ousra unir o horror do Infrno
  Aos Ses, de que se esmalta o Paraiso.


[21] Discipulo de Crates, e Fundador do Estoicismso, ou Seita dos
Esticos. Quando o Homem cr visinhar com o seu Nada, (o Nada Universal)
as sombras, em que o envolvem, o abafo as suas paixes, se rarefazem,
e esvaecem aos lumes da Justia, e do Desengano: ou j lhe brte
sobrenaturalmente n'alma este fenmeno, ou j porque, evaporado o amor
proprio, attente mais nos outros que em si. Eu, talvez nesse estado,
ou no longe delle, confesso ingenuamente, que, pela suavidade, e
apuro do mtro (nas composies lavradas com mais desvlo, e mais
gosto) pelas flores, pelos esmaltes Poticos de que as ameniza, e
formosa, (em especial as Bchicas) Belmiro est mui sobranceiro aos
Engenhos vulgares. A Razo me pede, que lhe honre o mrito; e o
Corao, que lhe releve a, talvez, injustia, com que trabalhou
remover-me de hum gro, havido da Voz pblica.




+SONETO VII.+


Agora que a seu lbrego Retiro
  Como que a baa Morte me encaminha,
  E o corao, que as ancias lhe adivinha,
  Dbil se ensaia no final suspiro:

Musa de Elmano, e Musa de Belmiro,
  Una-se a gloria sua  gloria minha:
  Meu nome aguarentou com voz mesquinha,
  Eu justo ao seu no fui, e a s-lo aspiro.

Nem tu me esquecers, Gasto cadente [22],
  Lustroso apar do mim, quando de chfre
  Igneas canes brotei, c'um Deos na mente.

Abri, Verdade, abri teu ureo cfre:
  Isto Elmano extrahio co'a mo tremente
  No srio ponto que illuses no sffre.


[22] Se a locuo, a fantasia, e o rhythmo caracterizo a mente Potica,
aponto D. Gasto Coutinho como dorade com estes thesoiros do Espirito.
No sa, como devra, (e altamente) o louvor de Thomas Antonio dos
Santos, e Silva nos meus talvez ultimos versos, porque em outros, de
mono mais Feba, e j divulgados, lhe teci elogios, em que a fraterna
amizade, que de muito nos liga, nada proferio avsso  justia, e ao
tom circunspecto do Discernimento.




+SONETO VIII.+


No mais,  Tejo meu, formoso, e brando,
   mrgem, frtil de gentis verdores,
  Ters d'alta Ulyssa hum dos Cantores,
  [23] Suspiros no ureo metro modulando.

Rindo no mais ver, no mais brincando
  Por entre as Nynfas, e por entre as Flores
  O Cro divinal dos ns Amores,
  Dos Zfyros azues o affavel Bando.

Co'a fronte j sem myrto, e j sem loiro,
  O arrebata de rjo a mo da Srte
  Ao Clima salutar, e  mrgem de oiro.

Ei-lo em Fragas de horror, sem luz, sem nrte;
  Sa daqui, dalli piado Agoiro:
  Sois vs, Desterro etrno, Ermos da Mrte!


[23] _Carmina Pastoris Siculi modulabor aven._

          Virgil. Eclog. 10.




+SONETO IX.+


Nestreos Dias, que sonhava Elmano,
  Brilhantes de almos gostos, de aurea Sorte,
  Pomposa Fantasia, audaz Transporte,
  As azas cerceai do Orgulho insano.

Plano de hum Numen contradiz meu plano,
  E quer que se esvaea, e quer que abrte:
  Eis, eis palpita, precursor da Mrte,
  No tmido aneurisma o Desengano.

A Deos,  Gnios que Ulyssa admira:
  (Cantor, que honrastes, honrareis, Cantores)
  Versos, prantos lhe dai, que Elmano expira.

Deixai-lhe a cinza em paz, fataes Amores;
  E vs, do extincto Vate a Campa, e Lyra,
  [24] Virtudes, que exaltou, cobri de flores.


[24] Beneficencia, e Piedade, celebradas no Epicedio ao Marquez
d'Angeja.




_Ao Senhor Nuno Alvares Pereira Moniz._


+SONETO X.+


Co'a mente juvenil, sublime, alada
  Sabes da trrea Manso, Manso profana;
  Introduzes, Moniz, a ida ufana
  L na de Ses sem conto Estancia ornada.

J, de Lysia cantando a Historia honrada,
  Sas qual Grega Musa, ou qual Romana;
  J, medrando nos Cos a fora humana,
  Teu Metro creador faz Ente o Nada.

Nove Deosas louas, tres Deosas nuas
  Te abrem thesoiros: cada qual te admira
  No verso graas mil, que fro suas.

Asss luzio teu Estro: a mais aspira;
  E estranho no ser que substituas
  A tuba de Maro de Flacco  Lyra.


Quero (se meus dias findarem) deixar huma prova do muito em que tive,
do muito que merecem os talentos de hum dos meus mais caros Amigos.




_Ao sbito desastre de hum Poeta amado da Nao._


+SONETO XI.+


Cantor, que a fronte erguia engrinaldada
  Comvosco, Idlias cras: myrto, e rsas,
  Que vio por mo das Tgides formsas
  De aljfares a Lyra, e de oiro ornada;

Mente, de ethreos Dons abrilhantada,
  Que, slta em produces louas, pompsas,
  Surgio, voou com azas luminsas
  Ante o Bando que vai de rjo ao Nada;

Estro, opulento do Febo Thesoiro,
  (J dos picos Sons talvez no ensaio)
  Ouvio sahir das trvas triste agoiro.

Seu Fado o fulminou, bateo-lhe o raio
   Sombra tua... ai dor! L mesmo,  Loiro:
  Chorai-o, Amores, Tgides, chorai-o.


De Author annymo; porm que he facil conhecer pelo estilo.




_Votos pelo restabelescimento da saude de Bocage._


+SONETO XII.+


No mais, Nynfas gentis do Tjo undoso,
  Pungidas de alta dor, vagueis insanas:
  Croai-vos de floridas espadanas,
  Ou de grinaldas de coral ramoso.

J no rechino do arco sanguinoso
  D'atroz Doena as sttas inhumanas
  Contra o Cysne que as ondas Tagitanas
  Enfra com o Carmen portentoso.

Serpes da Inveja, Serpes agoireiras,
  Emmudecei, que a vlida Saude
  Assoma, entre Esperanas lisonjeiras.

Vem, bella Deosa, ao Vate Elmano acude,
  Que eu grato forjarei nestas Ribeiras
  Hymnos, batidos na Thebana incude.


_Pelo Bacharel Domingos Maximiano Torres._




+SONETO XIII.+


Se as arduas Leis da sa Filosofia
  Sacra Egde no so contra a Desgraa,
  Ento em que desdiz a humana Raa
  Das outras, que Razo no alumia?

Seus venenos distille a Tyrannia,
  Raivoso o Fado em raios se desfaa:
  Alma, que o lume da Razo repassa,
  Srve tranquilla o nctar d'Alegria.

Quando a Ventura ao pensamento acde,
  E no prva revezes o Desejo,
  Embates d'Afflio qualquer sacde.

Aos males na constancia ser sobejo
  A poucos dado foi; Elmano o pde:
  D, que hum novo trofo glore o Tjo.


_Moniz._




_Ao Senhor Manoel Maria de Barbosa du Bocage, em resposta ao Soneto
pag. 6., pelos mesmos coasoantes._


+SONETO XIV.+


Em teu Genio s'inflamma fogo intenso,
  Brilhante emanao d'um Deos, d'um Ente,
  Que as Estrellas, a Lua, o Sol ridente
  N'um dia fez surgir do Chos denso:

Teu extasis t'eleva a Espao immenso,
  Sentes impulsos, que o Mortal no sente;
  Eis lcido claro te abraza a mente,
  E o Ser encaras, por quem vivo, e penso.

Pasmado, absrto no fulgor Divino,
  Repassado de atnito desmaio,
  Ant'o Solio do Eterno t'imagino:

Acordas, e do Canto em novo ensaio
  Dos Athos aviltando o desatino,
  Louvas hum Deos, e tremes do seu raio.


_Por J. A. Soares._




_Ao senhor Joo Pedro Maneschi, por occasio do incendio em que perdeo
todos os seus bens._


+SONETO XV.+


Nos puros Lares teus assoma, irado,
  Vulcano em ondas de indomavel chamma;
  Impetuoso cresce, horrivel brama:
  Parece accezo pela mo do Fado!

Em ferventes vorgens desmandado,
  Tudo afa, ennegrece, abraza, inflamma,
  E em cinza inutil, sbito, derrama
  Teus merecidos bens, Manschi honrado.

Mas tu dessa fatal, visivel Pste,
  Dessa, do Inferno imagem devorante,
  O damno, estrago, horror baldar pudste.

Rico de huma Alma singular, constante,
  Tens, tens tudo: Amizade, que te prste,
  D, que te chre, e Musa, que te cante.


A composio deste Soneto he anterior  minha molestia, mas a Gratido
me ordena p-lo aqui.




_A huma Donzella de estremada Belleza, de rara Virtude, e morta na
flor dos annos._


+SONETO XVI.+


De Homens, e Numes suspirado Encanto,
  Lilia, innocente como virgem Rsa,
  Lilia, mais branda, Lilia, mais formsa
  Que a Nynfa ethrea, de punceo manto:

Eu, e os Amores (que perdro tanto)
  Damos-te s cinzas oblao mimsa:
  Curva goteje minha Dor saudsa
  Na molle offrenda, que requer meu pranto.

Em teu sagrado, perennal Retiro
  Disponho, ao som de lnguidas querlas,
  A rosa, o cravo, a tlipa, o suspiro.

Medrai no cho de Amor, florinhas bllas...
  Ah Lilia! Eu gzo o Ceo!... Lilia! Eu respiro
  Tua alma pura na fragrancia dllas!


Pedio-mo Pessa, que virtuosamente a amava; e a mgoa do assumpto,
apurada na tristeza da minha situao, deo hum Soneto, que talvez
penhore os coraes ternos.




_Na gravissima enfermidade do Senhor Manoel Maria de Barbosa du Bocage._


+SONETO XVII.+


Elmano! Elmano! Os que te ouvro rindo,
  Penhas, e Montes, que teu Metro alava,
  Clamar faz hoje a Dr, que em pranto os lava,
  E, mais que todos, o Permesso, e Pindo.

Bosques, Paizagens, que teu verso lindo
  Em dobro enriqueco, teu mal aggrava:
  Choro-te Graas, Nynfas, que elle honrava,
  O niveo rosto com as mos cobrindo.

Inda, Cysne do Tjo, inda teu Canto,
  Bem que rouco, s'escuta; e em desconsolo
  J das Musas te chora o Cro santo.

Quando no ergas o mellfluo collo,
  Quem restar chorar-te? Hum Deos em pranto
  Se ha de ento vr, chorando o mesmo Apollo.


_Por Thomaz Antonio dos Santos, e Silva._




_Em resposta ao antecedente: Elmano a Tomino._


+SONETO XVIII.+


Vapor doirando, que me afuma os Lares,
  (Porque a Morte os bafeja de contino)
  Slto de ti relampago divino,
  [25] Milton de Lysia, alumiou meus ares.

O bem d'ouvir-te, o bem de me chorares
  Quasi que irmana desigual Destino:
  Tu de assombros Cantor, (Fbo, ou Tomino)
  Eu Ave, eu rgo de pavor, de azares.

Nveo matiz d'auriferas aras [26],
  Cysne qual Jove outr'ora [27], e que no alado
  Extasi aos Cos a melodia altas!

Vz, de que adro o cntico sagrado,
  Vz, que a dor minha, o Fado meu prantas!
  D-me teus sons, e cantarei meu Fado. [28]


[25] Pelo estro, e pela cegueira.

[26] As do Tjo.

[27] Quando se tornou Cysne por Leda.

[28] Porque ento a gloria compensa-me a fortuna.

Apesar do que digo a pag. 10, sempre tive occasio de honrar o meu
insigne Compatriota.




+SONETO XIX.+


Genio mordaz, que o Mrito golpa,
  Nadando em ondas de sulfrea chamma,
  Leva de rjo a Musa que do Gama
  Cantou prodigios mil, de gloria cha.

Sem luz o Triste, e sfrego da alha,
  Razes fallaces imagina, e trama;
  Porm, risonha, no desmaia a Fama
  Q'entre os Luzeiros immortaes vagua:

No eu assim, que, atnito, e curvado,
  Teus sons adro, magestoso Elmano,
  Pelos Sales Febos extasiado!

Vate, crdor do Sculo Romano!
  Digno Daquelle, a cuja sombra, e lado
  Cantava outr'ora o Cysne Mantuano!


_Por D. Gasto Fausto da Camara Coutinho._




+SONETO XX.+


Se na que, mrna, e lgubre, murmura,
  Corrente Avrna, como as sombras densa,
  Dr quda enrme a sfrega Doena
  Que  vida quer sorver-me a fonte impura:

De eleitos Vegetaes sagaz mistura
  No foi rgido estrvo  Morte infensa:
  S pde aos olhos meus Virtude immensa
  A do Horror ferrolhar Morada escura.

Arde,  Estro! Fulmina o Monstro humano,
  Que origem vil ao Mundo, a si presume,
  E  Causa divinal repugna, insano.

Salv, Principio d'Alma, ethreo Lume!...
  Se hun Deos no fra, que seria Elmano!
  Existe o Vate por que existe o Nume.

     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
     Project Gutenberg-tm works.

1.F.

1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
your equipment.

1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGE.

1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
opportunities to fix the problem.

1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.

1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,

or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.


Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm

Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.

Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
particular state visit http://pglaf.org

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations.

Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
works.

Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.


Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.


Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:

     http://www.gutenberg.org

This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
