   • 1878, Francisco de Castro, “Espartaco”, in Harmonias errantes‎^[1], Rio de Janeiro: Typ. de Moreira, Maximino & C., page 183:

     Quantas vezes do archanjo dos combates
     Elle invocára o gladio vingador,
     Quando a alma sacudiam-lhe os embates
     Das rajadas candentes do valor!...
     Aclara sempre a méta dos resgates
     Um raio do porvir deslumbrador,
     Golfejando nos antros do passado
     O prometheico fogo ao céu roubado.
