Luís Vaz de Camões (sometimes rendered in English from old Portuguese as Camoens) (c. 1524–June 10, 1580) is considered Portugal's greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, and Dante. He wrote a considerable amount of lyrical poetry (in Portuguese and in Spanish) and drama but is best remembered for his epic work Os Lusíadas. His philosophical work The Parnasum of Luís Vaz was lost, stolen with part of Os Lusíadas by envious enemies while he was visiting Mozambique. As mentioned in the Nobiliário das Famílias de Portugal, by Manuel José da Costa Felgueiras Gaio: The famous Luís de Camões, celebrated poet whom with the sword gave shows of his value and illustrious blood and with the pen made even more known his surname making his celebrated and great work in verse which so known it is in the literary republic, the whom was little esteemed at his time and only after his death he got esteem: he is buried at Santa Anna of Lisbon in a grave that one of his friends ordered to be made for him, so rich of a good name as he lived poor of wealth. Was born in Lisbon by the years of 1517. As mentioned in the Pedatura Lusitana, by Cristóvão Alão de Morais: Luís de Camões, who served in Africa and in India and was the greatest ingenious of Portugal. He composed "Os Lusíadas" and many rhimes, for what he deserved the title of "Prince of Poets". He died single and without issue. He is buried at the Church of Santa Ana of Lisbon, on a leveled grave, deserving an illustrious mausoleum, as thanks of the gold status his poem erected to the Heroes of his Motherland. In his praise, made a eulogy Manuel de Faria Severim, Chantre of Évora, which goes printed between his speeches, where the main actions of his life can be seen.
