218 MEMOIRS OF HERE LIES LUIS DE CAMOES, THE PRINCE OF THE POETS OF HIS TIME. HE LIVED POOR AND MISERABLE, AND SO HE DIED, IN THE YEAR MDLXXIX. D. GONCALO COUTINHO ORDERED THIS STONE TO BE PLACED HERE, UNDER WHICH NO OTHER PERSON SHOULD BE Bl'RIED. The authors of the life of Camoens, which is contained in the " Retratos e Elogios dos Varoes e Donas, que illustraram a Nacao Portugueza, " observe, that, although almost all the biogra- phers of the poet have given the words " Viveo " pobre e miser...avelmente, e assim morreo, " they had no existence in the epitaph, which, according to their account, was introduced in- to the church sixteen years after the death of Camoens. The passage is given as part of the inscription by Manoel Severim de Faria, and Manoel de Faria e Sousa, and the reading of it, as preserved by these writers, is followed by Dom Joze Maria de Souza. The only means of ascertaining the fact are unfortunately be- yond human reach, as the church perished by the earthquake which nearly destroyed Lisbon LUIS DF.
