"Bold though these figures frown, yet bolder farThese godlike heroes shin'd in ancient war.In that hoar sire, of mien serene, august,Lusus behold, no robber-chief unjust;His cluster'd bough--the same which Bacchus boreHe waves, the emblem of his care of yore;The friend of savage man, to Bacchus dear,The son of Bacchus, or the bold compeer,What time his yellow locks with vine-leaves curl'd,The youthful god subdued the savage world,Bade vineyards glisten o'er the dreary waste,And humaniz'd the nations as he pass'd.Lusus, the lov'd companion of the god,In Hispania's fair bosom fix'd his last abode,Our kingdom founded, and illustrious reign'dIn those fair lawns, the bless'd Elysium feign'd,Where, winding oft, the Guadiana roves,And. Douro murmurs through the flow'ry groves.Here, with his bones, he left his deathless fame,And Lusitania's clime shall ever bear his name.That other chief th' embroider'd silk displays,Toss'd o'er the deep whole years of weary days,On Tago's banks, at last, his vows he paid:To wisdom's godlike power, the Jove-born maid,Who fir'd his lips with eloquence divine,On Tago's banks he rear'd the hallow'd shrine.Ulysses he, though fated to destroy,On Asian ground, the heav'n-built towers of Troy,On Europe's strand, more grateful to the skies,He bade th' eternal walls of Lisbon rise."

  • Луз (лат. Lusus; порт. Luso) — персонаж португальської XVI ст. Оспіваний у «Лузіадах» Луїша де Камоенша (1572). Виступає як компаньйон або син Бахуса, римського бога вина. Легендарний цар-засновник Лузітанії (Португалії), міфічний родоначальник лузітанів (португальців). Головна фігура національного фундаційного міфу. У античних і середньовічних джерелах не зустрічається. Герой романтичної португальської літератури. Від його імені походить назва епопеї «Лузіади» — пісні про нащадків Луза та їхні героїчні подвиги. Також — уособлення самої Португалії. (uk)
