Two Trips to Gorilla Land and the Cataracts of the Congo, Volume 2
Chapter 2
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.
