destroy US. Thus let it be, Portuguese.

his sword till he has placed you in
security Trust in me, who am con

and most efficacious security-Long
live King John VII Long live the
Roman Catholic Religion! Long live
her Most Faithful Majesty! Long
live the gallant Portuguese Army!
Long live the Nation! Die the infa
