Esta luz é do fogo e das luzentes Armas com que Albuquerque irá amansando De Ormuz os Párseos, por seu mal valentes, Que refusam o jugo honroso e brando. Ali verão as setas estridentes Reciprocar-se, a ponta no ar virando Contra quem as tirou; que Deus peleja Por quem estende a fé da Madre Igreja. — Luís de Camões [Os Lusíadas, Canto X]
