A Portuguese poet; born at Lisbon, Aug. 9, 1825; died there, Dec. 4, 1893. His first collection of lyric verse, "Poesies" (1851), reached a 5th edition in his lifetime, and won for him the title "the Beranger of Portugal". Among his patriotic poems, "Exiled" is the one best known. His lyrics have been published as "Popular Songs". He wrote also some comedies in verse; a "Gallery of Portuguese Portraits" (1878); and "The Eccentrics of my Time" (1891).
