The sun is high — the birds oppress'd with heat Fly to the shade, until refreshing airs Lure them again to leave their cool retreat. — The falls of water but of wearying cares — O sol é grande, caem co’a calma as aves — "The sun is high — the birds oppress'd with heat", sonnet translated by John Adamson in Lusitania Illustrata, Vol. I, 1842
