After the fall of the Marquês de Pombal, all available copies were suppressed, and Borba de Moraes describes the original 1769 Portuguese language edition, reproduced here in facsimile, as "rare and sought after." The theme of this great epic is the Spanish and Portuguese campaign against the seven missionary villages in the region southeast of present-day Paraguay, whose Indian inhabitants had allegedly been incited by the Jesuits to revolt against the provisions of the Treaty of 1750. With its grandeur, pomp, and severe beauty, Basilio da Gama's poetry establishes him as the pioneer of Brazilian Indianism, which was later to become a chief theme of Brazilian letters.

The year after this poem was published, Freire de Andrade was ordered to face Marshal Soult's army of professionals; fearing to order a retreat, he tried to leave the army and was thrown into jail in Braga. A group of militiamen broke into the jail and murdered him. Three days later, the French under Soult inflicted a crushing defeat on the Portuguese at the Battle of Braga.The sonnet, on p. 11, is to Brigadier General D. Miguel Pereira Forjaz (1769-1827).
