— A vós, D. Diogo, transmito o legado de meu pai; estou convencido que conservareis o seu nome tão puro como a vossa alma, e os esforçareis por elevá-lo, servindo uma causa santa e justa. A vós, Álvaro, confio a felicidade de minha Cecília; e creio que Deus enviando-vos a mim, fazem já dez anos, não quis senão completar o dom que me havia concedido.

The setting

To you, D. Diogo, I pass the legacy of my father; I am convinced you will keep his name as pure as your soul, and will strive to raise it, serving a holy and just cause. To you, Álvaro, I entrust the happiness of my Cecília; and I believe that God, sending you to me ten years ago now, wished only to complete the gift he had granted me.
