PART II. — The Cataracts of the Congo.
"Allí o mui grande reino está de Congo, Por nós ja convertido à fé de Christo, Por onde o Zaire passa claro e longo, Rio pelos antiguos nunca visto." "Here lies the Congo kingdom, great and strong, Already led by us to Christian ways; Where flows Zaïre, the river clear and long, A stream unseen by men of olden days." The Lusiada, V. 13.
