Manuel I of Portugal

Traziam arcos nas maaos, e suas seetas: vynham todos rijos pera aho bateel; e Nicolaao Coelho lhes fes synaal que posesem hos arcos, e eles hos poserom aly: nom pode delos aveer fala nem emtemdimento que aproveitase polo mar quebrar na costa: soomente deo lhes huum barete vermelho, e huuma carapuça de linho que levava na cabeça, e huum sombreyro preto: e huum deles lhe deo huum sombreyro de penas daves compridas com huuma copezinha pequena de penas vermelhas, e pardas coma de papagayo: e outro lhe deo huum Ramal gramde de comtinhas bramcas, meudas, que querem parecer d'aljaveira: has quaaes peças creo que ho Capitam manda a V. A. E com isto se voltou aas naaos por seer tarde, e nom poder delles aver mais fala por aazo do mar.

They carried bows and arrows in their hands, and they all came boldly toward the boat. Nicolaao Coelho signed to them to lay down their bows, and they laid them down. He could not talk with them or make himself understood to any purpose, because the sea was breaking on the shore. He only gave them a red cap, a linen hood he had on his head, and a black hat. One of them gave him a hat of long bird feathers with a small crown of red and brownish feathers, like a parrot's. Another gave him a large string of tiny white beads that look like aljaveira. I believe the Captain is sending these things to Your Highness. With that Coelho went back to the ships, because it was late, and the sea kept them from talking any more.
