    • 1878, Francisco de Castro, “Espartaco”, in Harmonias errantes‎, Rio de Janeiro: Typ. de Moreira, Maximino & C., page 183:
      Quantas vezes do archanjo dos combates
      Elle invocára o gladio vingador,
      Quando a alma sacudiam-lhe os embates
      Das rajadas candentes do valor!...
      Aclara sempre a méta dos resgates
      Um raio do porvir deslumbrador,
      Golfejando nos antros do passado
      O prometheico fogo ao céu roubado.
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)
