- 1878, Francisco de Castro, “Espartaco”, in Harmonias errantes‎, 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.
