“XC
Ajudados pelos astutos ingleses
Os nossos despertam de sua torpeza
Desbaratam p´la força os Franceses
Não sendo tão grande sua fraqueza…
Pois que neste Reino muitas vezes
Quis Deus que do Céu viesse a firmeza
Vencendo a cobiça pela guerra
Como antes a fama já o fizera!”

“XCI
Se com Junot não terminou a guerra
Soult e Massena pela vida temeram
Todos voltaram para sua terra
Porque de enganos tão só viveram
Como a vergonha neles encerra
Aquela glória que não tiveram!
Como o fero Nuno se mostrou outra vez,
O valor, a razão de ser português!”

“XCII
Voltam a miséria e a ruína
A amargura corre pela Pátria
O rei foge à cruel chacina
Longe desta terra milenária.
Terra de Camões, santa mãe divina
Cuja fé houvera da Samária.
No Brasil vivia-se em beleza
E por cá chorava-se de tristeza.”

“XCIII
Logo após a expulsão do invasor,
Recordando grandes e altos feitos
Que ainda hoje, se guardam com fervor
Um grupo de pescadores dá o peito
Ao indómito e Velho Adamastor
Contra ele arrastando de seu jeito,
Neptuno levaram de vencida
Tal a sua força na hora de partida.”

“XCIV
Se à partida nada iam descobrir
Mas tão somente o Rei avisar
Que o perigo deixara de existir
Que à Pátria podia regressar
Não foi menor seu risco de partir
Contra os ventos e as ondas do mar
Pois que ainda hoje reza a fama
Mostraram ser dignos do grande Gama.”

“XCIX
O descontentamento era geral
A força da Nação que sempre fomos
Desperta nosso orgulho nacional…
Fé, honra e glória retomamos
Surgindo a revolução liberal
Revolução que, como timidez, abraçamos!
Nasce assim a primeira Constituição
Que de mal vigora por imposição.”

Arrastando contra ventos irados
Que outrora arrastaram seus irmãos…,
A terras de Santa Cruz são levados,
Chegando um dia sem água, sem pão!
Nunca igual feito fora ousado,
Em barco de tão pequena construção,
Tão grande foi a glória ingente
Que o rei os recebeu de contente.”

“XCVI
Perante este acto de loucura
Ao Rei e à Corte se deu a conhecer,
Que o País pela sua honra e bravura
O invasor obrigara a ceder.

O drama da liberdade de viver
A fé renovava os leais corações
Que tão longe mantinham suas ilusões!”

“XCVII
Com a real família no Brasil
Novas medidas, de lá são tomadas
Vê-se Portugal em dependência servil
Por força de gentes mui ousadas
Tal situação torna-se difícil,
Como noutras ocasiões passadas…!
Já o mesquinho inglês dominava
E esta terra não abandonava.”

“XCVIII
Vivendo numa profunda tristeza
Fatigado p´la força do destino
Mostrou o povo por sua nobreza
Tocado por um amante divino
Que o duro inglês pela riqueza
Se tornara mísero e felino
Choravam as ninfas de amargura
P´ro Magriço deixar a sepultura”

“Xena and Gabrielle were a couple...in the end, it was if not explicitly said, it was implicit that...yeah, they totally were.”
“Xena, above all, remember your destiny. Remember it and fight, fight to come back. This world needs you. I need you.”
“Xena, I'll always love you, but I know I have to let you go.”
“Xenial' is a word which refers to the giving of gifts to strangers. . . . I know that having a good vocabulary doesn't guarantee that I'm a good person. . . . But it does mean I've read a great deal. And in my experience, well-read people are less likely to be evil.”
“Xeno couldn't manage too much nearness. He was solitary and introverted, with an enthusiasm that people mistook for sociability. He was interested in everything, attentive to people, genuinely kind, and entirely present when he was present. But he was never sorry to close the door at night or to be alone.”

“Xenophon tells us that Socrates never neglected the body and did not praise those who did. We can imagine that it was because the physical body—volatile, unseen, and implicated in an automatized natural world—could seem so daemonic that entrusting life, both biological life and ethical life, to its dynamics could seem like ceding control of the human.”

“Xerox is really good at managing documents, and we're definitely good at managing through a process.”
“Xerxes gazed at Esther as she slept, marveling at the way her expression held such peace, her dark hair splayed over the pristine white cushion beneath her head. He had found not a single flaw in her and had quickly concluded that she surpassed even Vashti in beauty.
He released a deep, contented sigh as he shifted on one elbow. Esther stirred and opened her eyes to meet his gaze. Her smile, slow and appreciative, caused a greater sense of protectiveness to rise within him. Did she love him? Could she love him? Without doubt he loved her. She had pleased him like no other.
"You are awake," he said, surprised at the huskiness in his voice. What was this new feeling of exuberant joy? He was not one to grow flustered like this. Never like this. But Esther... he could not stop the need to touch his lips to hers.
"I find you have tempted me beyond reason," he said when he felt confident that his voice would not again betray him.
She wrapped both arms around his neck and pulled him closer. "I am glad," she whispered against his ear. "If I were not a temptation, you might not find me pleasing." She kissed him, this time not waiting for him to take the lead as she had the night before.
He laughed when she pulled away, and they both caught their breath. "How bold my queen has become!”
Source: Star of Persia:
“Xerxes, I read, ‘halted his unwieldy army for days that he might contemplate to his satisfaction’ the beauty of a single sycamore.
You are Xerxes in Persia. Your army spreads on a vast and arid peneplain…you call to you all your sad captains, and give the order to halt. You have seen the tree with the lights in it, haven’t you? You must have. Xerxes buffeted on a plain, ambition drained in a puff. Your men are bewildered…there is nothing to catch the eye in this flatness, nothing but a hollow, hammering sky, a waste of sedge in the lee of windblown rocks, a meager ribbon of scrub willow tracing a slumbering watercourse…and that sycamore. You saw it; you will stand rapt and mute, exalted, remembering or not remembering over a period of days to shade your head with your robe.
“He had its form wrought upon a medal of gold to help him remember it the rest of his life.” We all ought to have a goldsmith following us around. But it goes without saying, doesn’t it, Xerxes, that no gold medal worn around your neck will bring back the glad hour, keep those lights kindled so long as you live, forever present? Pascal saw it; he grabbed pen and paper and scrawled the one word, and wore it sewn in his shirt the rest of his life. I don’t know what Pascal saw. I saw a cedar. Xerxes saw a sycamore.”

“Xhex: John, she said softty. He paused and looked over his shoulder toward the bed. I love you.” His handsome face tightened in pain, and he rubbed the middle of his chest, as if someone had fisted up his heart and squeezed it dead. And then he turned away. As she hit the confines of her prison… She was screaming at the top of her lungs.”
“XI I sang his name instead of song; Over and over I sang his name: Backward and forward I sang it along, With my sweetest notes, it was still the same! I sang it low, that the slave-girls near Might never guess, from what they could hear, That all the song was a name.”
“XI
Seus amores cantados tão conhecidos,
Tanta força na vida aventureira…
Sendo lenda e facho bem erguidos,
Perigosamente à beira da cegueira.
Por terras, mares e perigos já sabidos…
Com a inveja e ira por parceira…
De alguns, cujo famoso cabo passaram
E os ossos, para sempre, sepultaram!”

“Xiao YuAn, listen to me very carefully. I like you, the kind of like in which I want to tie you to my bed. The kind of like that in addition to me, you won’t see anyone else. In which, night after night you’ll be under my arms begging for mercy. I’ll make your eyes cry until the corners of your eyes become red, and your fingers clutch the bedding because you can’t bear my manipulation on your body. You will desperately try to escape, but you’ll be unable to move, trying really hard to breathe as you can’t stop your mouth from moaning in pleasure. Do you understand me?”

Desterrado, preso e injustiçado…
No desespero naufraga a própria vida
Salvando, no entanto, seu bem amado,
Pela mão de Neptuno assaz erguida!
Sendo tal feito depois cantado
P´la bela musa nossa conhecida…
Assim se salva daquela odisseia
A epopeia desta Pátria Ulisseia!”

Conseguindo regressar à Pátria
A Lusitana Terra nossa amada
Apresenta a sua obra temerária
Que por Ericina fora guardada,
Evitando tanta cobiça adversária,
De falsa traição, não menos ousada.
El-Rei concede-lhe parca pensão…
Mas a dor e a miséria o levarão!...”
