Quanto ao sentimento que ditara esse proceder, D. Antônio não se admirava; conhecia o caráter dos nossos selvagens, tão injustamente caluniados pelos historiadores; sabia que fora da guerra e da vingança eram generosos, capazes de uma ação grande, e de um estimulo nobre.
As for the feeling that had dictated this conduct, D. Antônio was not surprised; he knew the character of our savages, so unjustly slandered by the historians; he knew that apart from war and vengeance they were generous, capable of a great deed, and of a noble impulse.
