Amid the poets, thine the peerless worth, whose glorious song, thy genius soul reward, bids all the ages, Camões, bless thy birth. 12. R. F. B. 13. Editor's Preface. 14. I felt that I had no light task before me when I undertook to edit my husband's translation of Camões's Lusiades. 15. The nearer I come to that work, the more mountainous does it appear, instead of dispersing, as most work does when one sets one's shoulder to the wheel. 16. Yet I feel that no other than myself should do this office for him. 17. For I shared his travels in Portugal, his four years up-country in Brazil, learned the language with him, and I have seen for nineteen and a half years the Camões' stable duly set apart, the bon bouche of the day. 18. I have been daily and hourly consulted as to this expression, or this or that change of word, this or that peculiarity of Camões. 19. What then are those difficulties you, the reader, will ask me? Let me try to explain. 20. So many enterprising poet-authors have translated Camões and received their need of praise and popularity, in old times fencha, the best because so quaint. 21. Then Monsieur's Mickle, Musgrave, and Mitchell. Laterally, Mr. J. J. Oberten, Mr. Duff, and Mr. Hewitt. 22. But this translation stands apart from all the rest, as far apart as the passion spiel of Oberammergo stands apart as a grand dramatic act of devotion from all the other miracle plays now suppressed. 23. This translation is not a literary tour de force done against time or to earn a reputation. It is the result of a daily act of devotion of twenty years from a man of this age who has taken the hero of a former age for his model, his master, as Dante did Virgil, and between whose two fates, master and disciple, exists a strange and fatal similarity. 24. What I tremble for in its publication is that it is too aesthetic for the British public, and will not meet with its due need of appreciation as the commoner translations have done. 25. If a thousand by it, will a hundred read it, and will ten understand it? I say to myself, but then I brighten at the thought that to those ten it will be the gem of their library. 26. It stands in poetry, where Boito's Mephistophaly stands in music. He was not appalled by Ganon, nor Spau, nor Wagner, nor Meyerbeer, and in the opinion of many musicians has distanced them all. 27. The first hearing of his opera takes away your breath, that is, if you are a musician. If not, it was a sin to occupy the place which would have been a seventh heaven to a musician. 28. You don't understand it, nor pretend to do so, but you long to go again, and you do go, night after night, each time unfolding new beauties in each separate passage, until you know by heart and have dissected the whole, nor even then do you tire, but enjoy it all the more. 29. In this translation, whenever my husband has appeared to coin words, or to use impossible words, they are the exact rendering of Camões. In every singularity or seeming eccentricity, the disciple has faithfully followed his master, his object having been not simply to write the verse, but to give a literal word for word rendering of his favorite hero. 30. And he has done it to the letter, not only in the words, but in the meaning and intention of Camões. 31. To the unesthetic to non-poets, non-linguists, non-musicians, non-artists, Burton's Luziads will be an unknown land, an unknown tongue. One might as well expect them to enjoy a dominant seventh, or an inharmonic change in harmony. 32. To be a poet, one must be a musician. To be a musician or a painter, one must have a poetic temperament, or the poetry or the music will have a hard metallic sound, and become a doggerel, a scherzo, the painting, a signpost. 33. With this little explanation I command this grand word to the study of the public. The commentaries will interest all alike. 34. The most pleasing literary labor of my life has been to translate the Luziads. One of my highest aims has been to produce a translation which shall associate my name, not unpleasantly, with that of my master, Camões. 35. Those who favor me by reading this version are spared the long recital of why, how, and when Portugal's morrow became to me the perfection of a traveller's study. The first and chiefest charm was, doubtless, that of the man. 36. A wayfarer and a voyager from his youth. A soldier, somewhat turbulent with all, wounded and blamed for his wounds. A moralist, a humorist, a satirist, and consequently no favorite with King Demos. 37. A reverent and religious spirit after his own fashion. Somewhat renaissance, poetic and pagan. By no means after the fashion of others. An outspoken, truth-telling, lucrative, despising writer. A public servant whose motto was, strange to say, honor, not honors. 38. A daughty sword and yet daughtier pen. A type of the chivalrous age. A patriot of the purest water. So jealous of his country's good fame, that nothing would satisfy him but to see the world bow before her perfections. 39. A genius, the first and foremost of his day, who died in the direst poverty and distress. Such, in mirest outline, was the man, and such was the life which won the fondest and liveliest sympathies of the translator. 40. Poetas por poetas sejam lidos. Sejam só por poetas explicadas suas obras divinas. 41. Still by the poets be the poets read. Only be rendered by the poet's tone their works divine. writes Manuel Correia. 42. Mikhol expresses the sentiment with more brevity and equal point. 43. Non but a poet can translate a poet. And choleridge assigns to a poet the property of explaining a poet. 44. Let me add that none but a traveller can do justice to a traveller. 45. And it so happens that most of my wanderings have unconsciously formed a running and realistic commentary upon Belusiads. 46. I have not only visited almost every place named in the epos of commerce. In many I have spent months and even years. 47. The arch-poet of Portugal paints from the life. He has also the insight which we call intro-vision. He sees with exact eyes where others are per-blind or blind. 48. Only they who have personally studied the originals of his pictures can appreciate their perfect combination of fidelity and realism with fancy and idealism. 49. Here it is that the traveller translator may do good service with his specialty. 50. Again, like Boccaccio, Camões reflects the luxe ex oriente. 51. There is a perfume of the East in everything he writes of the East. We find in his song much of its havoc and all its splendor. 52. Oriental-like, he delights in the pathetic fallacy to lavish upon inanimates the attributes of animate sensation. 53. Here again, the student of things Eastern, the practical Orientalist, may be useful by drawing attention to points which escaped the European, however learned. 54. There are many translators of Camões yet to come. We are an ephemeral race, each one struggling to trample down his elder brother like the simoniacal popes in the Malibu pit. 55. My first excuse for adding to the half-dozen translations in the field must be my long studies, geographical and anthropological. 56. I can at least spare future writers the pains and penalties of settling the exactest of poets with bad ethnology and worse topography. 57. These may be small matters, but in local collaring every touch tells. 58. My chief qualifications for the task, however, are a thorough appreciation of the poem, in a hearty admiration for the poem, whom I learned to love in proportion as I learned to know him. 59. His lusiets has been described as un lectur sen e fortifiante. 60. I would say far more. The singer's gracious and noble thoughts are reviving as the champagne air of the mountaintop. His verse has the true heroic ring of such old ballads as 60. And with this love and sympathy of mine mingles not a little gratitude. 71. During how many hopeless days and sleepless nights, Camões was my companion, my consulor, my friend, on board raft and canoe, sailor and steamer, on the camel and the mule, under the tent and the jungle tree, upon the fire peak and the snow peak, on the prairie, the campel, the steppe, the desert, 72. Where no conversable being can be found within a march of months, and when the hot blood of youth courses through the brain, and we and nostalgia are readily bred, while both are fatal to the explorer's full success, 73. And preferring to all softer lines the hard life of discovery travel, where things that own not men's dominion dwell, where foot of mortal men hath never been, a career which combines cultivation and education with that resistless charm, that poetry passion of the unknown, 74. whose joy of mere motion lightens all sorrows and disappointments, which aids by commune with nature the proper study of mankind, which enlarges the mental view as the hillhead broadens the horizon, 75. which made Julian a saint, Kizer a prophet, and Odin a god. This heise lust, I say, being my ruling passion, compelled me to seek a talisman against homesickness and the nervous troubles which learned men called phrenogia and autophobia. 76. I found this talisman in Camões, and if it be true that by virtue of his perfect affection and veneration for Homer, whom he loved as a second self, Chapman was enabled to reflect as something of the old Greek's magic force and fire, 77. I also, baby, permitted to hope that complete sympathy with my poet will enable me to present the public with a copy not unworthy of Camões' immortal work. 77. After all, to speak without undue modesty my most cogent reason for printing this translation of my master is simply because I prefer it to all that have appeared. 78. Others will think otherwise, and there is a judge from whose sentence lies no present appeal. 78. I have spared no labor on the work. I have satisfied myself, if not malbushe, and I repeat my motto, poco espero, nula quiero. 78. If a concurrency of adverse trifles prevent my being appreciated now, the day will come, happily somewhat late, when men will praise what they now pass by. Richard Francis Burton, Cairo, May 1st, 1880. NOTE. Contrary to custom, I begin with my translation of the poem and end with what usually comes first, the commentary. This introduction, now converted to a post-script, is necessary for the full comprehension of an epic upwards of three centuries old. But, believing in the liberty of footnotes, I have appended a few, which will save many readers the mortification of consulting the conclusion. The following synopses of the Lousiades shows the raison d'être of my commentary. Canto I. The voyage in Stanzas 106, lines 848. Canto II. The voyage in Stanzas 113, lines 904. Canto III. Historical in Stanzas 143, lines 1144. Canto IV. Historical in Stanzas 104, lines 832. Canto V. The voyage in Geographical, Stanzas 100, lines 800. Canto VI. The voyage in Geographical, Stanzas 99, lines 792. Canto VII. Geographical historical, Stanzas 87, lines 696. Canto VIII. Historical in Stanzas 99, lines 792. Canto IX. Romantic in Stanzas 95, lines 760. Canto X. Geographical ethnographical historical, in Stanzas 156, lines 1248. Totals. Stanzas 1102, lines 8816. The text of the poem is immediately followed by the 79 Estancias Disprezadas, or Stanzas which, omitted by Camões, were printed from manuscripts after his death. Of these 632 lines many were rejected for special reasons, and not a few deserve translation. They are here offered to the public for the first time. Thus my commentary falls naturally into four chapters. Chapter 1. Biographical, with three sections. Section 1. Essay on the Life of Camões. Section 2. Camões the Man. And Section 3. Camões the Poet. Chapter 2. Bibliographical, with five sections. Section 1. On Translating the Lusiads. Section 2. English Translators with Specimens. Section 3. Notices of English Translators. Section 4. Minor Partial and Miscellaneous English Translations. And Section 5. The Present Version. Chapter 3. Historical and Chronological, with four sections. Section 1. Portugal Before the Rain of Dom João II. Section 2. Dom João III and Dom Manuel. Section 3. The Rain of Dom João III. And Section 4. The Annals of His Country Till the Death of Camões. Chapter 4. Geographical, with four sections. Section 1. Preliminary. Section 2. The Voyage of the Gama. Section 3. The Travels and Campaigns of Camões in the Nearer East. And Section 4. In the Further East. I make no apology for the length of this topographical essay. The subject has been much neglected by modern commentators. Chapter 5. Unnotative. I have here placed explicatory and philological details, which illustrate the ten contours, concluding with three tables borrowed from various sources. Number 1. Editions of the Works of Camões. Number 2. Tables of Translations of the Works. Especially Lusiads. And Number 3. Contents of the Lusiads, which may serve as an index of subjects. In conclusion, I have to thank Mr. Wyman for the care and trouble they have taken in printing the translation. Trieste, July 10th, 1880. End of Dedication and Preface. Canto I of the Lusiads. This LibriVox recording is in the public domain. Recording by Lini. The Lusiads by Luís Vais de Camões. Translated by Sir Richard Francis Burton. Canto I. Argument of the First Canto. The Portuguese navigate the eastern seas. The gods hold their counsel. Bacchus opposes himself to this navigation. Venus and Mars favor the navigators. They arrive at Mozambique. The governor were off attempted to destroy them. Encounter and first military action of our people with the Gentiles. They weigh anchor. And, passing Quiloa, they ride in the roadstead of Mombassa. Another argument. Fazem concilhos deuses na alta curte. O pun se baco a luzita na gente. Favorece a Venus e uma vorte. Em Mozambique lança o ferro e o dente. Depois de aqui mostrar seu braço forte, destruindo e matando juntamente, torna as partes buscar da roxa aurora. E chegando a Mombassa surge fora. The gods hold counsel Heaven's high court within. Bacchus are Lucian braves to thwart doth seek. Who meet of Mars and grace of Venus gain. To cast the fairest tooth in Mozambique. Thence, when their arm of power displayed had been, death and destruction on the foe to wreak. Fairest the fleet were read aurora by doth, and reached Mombassa town outside at brydoth. Cantor one. The feats of arms, in famed heroic host from Occidental Lusitanian strand. Who order waters nearby Siemens crossed, fared beyond the Taprobane land. Forceful in perils and in battle post. With more than promised force of mortal hand. And in the regions of a distant race, reared a new throne so hot in pride of place. And each the kings of memory grand and glorious, who hide them holy faith and reign to spread. Converting, conquering, and in land notorious, Africa and Asia devastation made. Nor last the legious, who by ditz memorias, break from the dune that binds the vulgar dead. My song would sound, or earth's extremest part, were mine the genius, mine the poet's art. Seize the sage Grecian, and the men of Troy, to vaunt long voyage made in Bygonday. Seize Alexander, who's a joy, the fame of victors that have passed away. The noble Lusian stout her breast, sing I, whom Mars and Neptune dare not disobey. Seize all that antique muse had sung, for now a better bravery bears its boulder brow. And you, my Tage and Nymphs, who have created and made new purpose with new genius firing. If it was my joy while here to celebrate, your fountains and stream my humble song inspiring, how lend me here a noble strainy light, a style grandiloquant that flows and tiring, so shall Apollo for your waves or dainy, in name and fame, near envy Hippocrani. Grant me Sonora's accents fire-bounding. Now serves me peasant spipe, me rustic reed, but blessed of trumpet, long and loud resounding, that flammeth hard and hewed to fiery deed. Grant me high strains to suit their jests astounding, your sons who aided Mars in martial need, that o'er the world be sung the glorious song, if theme so lofty may the verse belong. And thou, O goodly omen trust, all dear to Lusitania's olden liberty, where unassured aspirants revere in force to see our frail Christianity, thou, O new terror to the Moorish spear, the fated marvel of our century, to govern worlds of men by God so given, that the world's best be given to God in heaven, thou young, thou tender, ever flourishing bow, true sign of tree by Christ beloved more, than ought that oxidant did ever know Caesarean or most Christian style before. Look on thy scutcheon and behold it show, the present victory long past ages bore, arms which he gave and made thine own to be, by him assumed on the fatal tree. Thou, mighty sovereign, or whose lofty reign the rising sun reigns earliest smile of light, sees it from middle firmamental plain, and sights it sinking on the breast of night, thou whom we hope to hail the blight, the bane of the dishonored Ishmaelitesch night, an Orient Turk and gentle misbeliever that drinks the liquor of the sacred river. Incline a while, I pray, that majesty, which in thy tender years I see thus ample, in now prefiguring full maturity that shall be shrined in famed eternal temple. Those royal iron that beam benignity bend on low earth, behold a new ensemble of hero hearts with patriot pride and flamed, in numbered verses manyfold proclaimed. Thou shalt see love of land that ne'er shall own lust of val'lucur, soaring towards eternal, for it is no light ambition to be known, the acclaimed herald of my nest paternal. Here thou shalt see the great names greater grown, of Vavazors who hail the Lord's supernal. So shalt thou judge, which were the higher station, king of the world, or lord of such a nation. Hark, for with vouchings vain, thou shalt not view fantastical, fictitious, ly indeed, of legious lauded, as strange muses do, seeking their fond and foolish pride to feed. Thine acts so forceful are, told simply true, all fabled, dreamy feats they far exceed, exceeding Rodamond and Roger O'Vane, enrolant, happily born of poet's brain. For these I give thee an uno, fierce in fight, who for his king and country freely bled, an agus and a foos, fain I might, for them I lay with harp, Homeric wed. For the twelve peerless peers again I cite, the twelve of England, by Magrissoled, they, more, I give thee Gama's noble name, who for himself claims all in his fame. And if in change, for royal Charles of Friends, or rivaling Caesar's memories, thou wouldst throw, the first Afonsocy, whose conquering lands lays highest boast of stranger glories, lo, see him, who left his realm the inheritance, fair safety, born of wars that crushed the foe, that other John, a knight no fear deterred, the fourth and fifth Afonso, and the third. Nor shall they silent in my song remain, they, who in regions there where dawns arise, by acts of arms such glorious toil to gain, where thine unvanquished flag forever flies. Pacheco, brave abras, thou madeest wane, humtadas mourns with ever-weeping eyes, dread albuquerque, castros start and brave, with more the victors of the very grave. But singing these, of thee I may not sing, O king sublime, such theme I fame must fear, take of thy reign the reigns, so shall my king, create a poesy new to mortal ear. In now the mighty burden here I ring, and speed its terrors over all this fear, of singular prowess, wars on prodigies, in afric regions and on orient seas. Casteth on thee the moor iron cold with fright, in whom his coming doom he views designate, the barber's gentu sold to see thy sight yields to thy yoke, the neck in now inclined. Teftas of Azur sees the sovereign right, her realm in dowry hath to thee resigned, and by thy noble tender beauty one would bribe and bide thee to become her son. And thee, from high Olympic halls behold, themselves thy grandsire sprites far-finged pair, this clad in peacetide's angel robe of gold, that crimson hue with paint of battle glare. By thee they hope to see their tale twice told, their lofty memories live again, and there, when time thy years shall end, for thee they sign, a seat where sore th' fame's eternal shrine. But sit in ancient times, slow minutes by, ere rule the peoples who desire such doom, bend on my novel rashness, favoring I, that these my verses may become thine own. So shalt thou see thine organets overfly, yeon salty archon when they see it shone, thou cease their labors on the raging sea, learn even now invoked of men to be. They walk the waters, vasty breadth of blue, parting the restless billows on their way, fair-favoring breezes breathed soft and true, the bell-ing canvas bulging in their clay. The seas were strained with foam of creamy hue, flashing where ere the prow's wide open lay, the sacred spaces of that ocean plain, where Proteus cattle cleave his own domain, when they who hold olympic luminous height, the gods and governors of our human race, convened in glorious conclave all unite, the coming course of eastern things to trace, treading the glassy dome of lovely light, along the milky way conjoint they pace, gather together at the thunder's haste and by old Atlas's gentle grins impressed. They leave the regiment of the firmament seven to them committed by his high command, his power sublime whose thoughtful will have given order to skies and angry seas and land. Then instant gather in the size of heaven those who are thrown on far archerous strand, and those at Osteru and orient heights where strings aurora and clear feebus hides. Repose it there, the sire sublime and dying, vibrate whose hem the fierce volcanic ray on seed of starious splendor crystalline, ran in his lofty jest of sovereign sway, respired from his brow such air divine that to divine could change dull human clay, bearing the crown and satter rudolent of clearer stone than clearest diamond. On sparkling seeds with marquetry inlaid of gold and pearlwork set in lower state, the minor god heads marshaled in a raid in as demanded reason, rank, and rate. Highest the seniors of most honored gray lower down the lower DTC when thus high jove the deathless throne addressed with awful accents dealing gravest haste. Immortal peoples of the starlit pole whose seats adorned his constellated sphere if the stout rays of valor breeding soul from blisses springing still to thought be dear, your high intelligence leave unroll the writ of mighty fate. Her will is clear. This deed to cold oblivion's shade shall doom the fame of Persia, Assyria, Greece, and Rome. To them it was urged, and well he wanted, given, albeit a parcel single, simple, small, to see the dowty war from trenchments driven where gentle tagas feeds and flugs the veil. Then with the dreadful Spaniard have they's driven by boon of heaven's reen they're known to fail and urge their fortunes ever glorious claim to victor trophies hung in fain of fame. God heads, I leave that antique fame unsaid raft from the race of rumlars their foes when, by their warrior virietus led so high in Roman wars their names arose Eek Levi memories which to merited honor oblige it when for chief they chose that perfect captain urged a peregrine foe who feigned a demon in his milk-white dough. Now well you see how steel their souls to steer a fragile bark through dubious watery way by paths unused and holding not in fear notice an aphor's force walks bolder day how while every region left a
