_ 416 _ Then he saw that they were really those of Moors and that the arrows were like those fired by the Moors in the battle. Weeping with joy, he told them all that in this way they would know of the miracle our Lord had performed for our people and that the same arrows that the Moors had fired had returned to them and killed them. They should therefore give many praises to Him and this they did, the commander being the first to go down upon his knees. When Albuquerque the all powerful,Unfurled your flags in glory,On the shores of Persia, and won Victory from such distant nations. Tis a splendid story, how By God’s will the arrows,From the bow of Ormuz were turned, and flew back to pierce, The breasts of those who fired them. Camoes Rimas
