Os Lusíadas is frequently compared to a poem by Virgil written in which language ?
Os Lusíadas Os Lusíadas (] ), usually translated as The Lusiads, is a Portuguese epic poem by Luís Vaz de Camões (sometimes anglicized as "Camoëns"). It is often regarded as the most important work of Portuguese literature and is frequently compared to the Aeneid, Virgil's great epic poem. The work celebrates the discovery of a sea route to India by the Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama (1469–1524). The ten cantos of the poem are in ottava rima and total 1,102 stanzas.
Tempus fugit Tempus fugit is a Latin phrase, usually translated into English as "time flies". The expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Virgil's "Georgics", where it appears as "fugit" "inreparabile" "tempus": "it escapes, irretrievable time". The phrase is used in both its Latin and English forms as a proverb that "time's a-wasting". "Tempus fugit", however, is typically employed as an admonition against sloth and procrastination (cf. "carpe diem") rather than a motto in favor of licentiousness (cf. "gather ye rosebuds while ye may"); the English form is often merely descriptive: "time flies like the wind", "time flies when you're having fun".
