"Adamastor" ( a stanza from "Os Lusíadas" - Luís Vaz de Camões )

.... " knows that all the ships this travel

What you do, they will do, of dared,

Enemy they will have this stopping,

With winds and excessive storms!

And of the first navy, what passage

It will do for these unsuffered waves,

I will do suddenly such a punishment,

That it is bigger damage that the danger!" ....
