Nessa +noite, mestre Gil, + + um que não tem nem ceitil + e faz os aitos a el-rei, + +representou, em castelhano, o seu «Monólogo do Vaqueiro», ou +da «Visitação», que ides ouvir, vertido á letra, em português. + +Muito antes de Gil Vicente,--certo é e convem recordá-lo--o +povo representava nas igrejas, na largueza dos seus adros ou +á sombra das suas naves, os entremeses hieráticos do nascimento +e da Paixão de Christo e das vidas dos santos, e cantava os +seus vilancicos, bailando suas dansas e folias. Mas o «Monólogo +do Vaqueiro», naquela noite memoravel,--que vamos procurar +reconstituir--começou a fixar e a ordenar o elemento dramático +tradicional, dando-lhe vida eterna. + +«A obra de devoção seguinte--diz a rúbrica de Gil Vicente--procedeu +de uma visitação que o autor fez ao parto da muito esclarecida +rainha D. Maria, e nascimento do mui alto e excelente príncepe +D. João, o terceiro em Portugal de este nome.» + +E foi--continua a rúbrica--«a primeira coisa que o autor fez +e que em Portugal se representou, estando o mui poderoso rei +D. Manuel, a rainha D. Beatriz, sua mãe, e a senhora duquesa +de Bragança sua filha, na segunda noite do nascimento do dito +senhor.» + +«E estando esta companhia assim junta--conclue a rúbrica--entrou +um Vaqueiro...» + +Senhoras e senhores: o teatro português vai nascer--e Gil Vicente +vai entrar em scena!_ + + + + + ... desconveniente era fugir da lingua que mamey e buscar + outra prestada pera falar aos meus naturais. + + SAMUEL USQUE. + + + _Consolaçam ás Tribulaçoens de Israel._ + + + + ++Monólogo do Vaqueiro+ + + + + +Ouve-se, fóra de scena, o vozeio dos guardas do paço, e entra +logo, vestido de briche e ceifões de pele, manta do Alentejo +ao hombro, e cajado de azambujeiro na mão, o + + + _Vaqueiro:_ + +Apre!, que sete impurrões +me ferrarram á entrada, +mas eu dei uma punhada +num de aqueles figurões. +Porém, se de tal soubera, +não viera; +e, vindo, não entraria; +e se entrasse, eu olharia +de maneira +que nenhum me chegaria. +Mas, está feito, está feito; +e, se se fôr a apurar, +já que entrei neste lugar +tudo me sae em proveito. +Té me regala ver coisas +tão formosas, +que se fica parvo a vê-las! +Eu remiro-as, porém ellas, +de lustrosas, +a nós outros são danosas. + + _«Fala á Rainha»_ + +Meu caminho não errou? +Deus queira que seja aqui, +que eu já pouco sei de mi, +nem deslindo aonde estou. +Nunca vi cabana tal +em especial +tão notavel de memória: +esta deve ser a glória +principal +do paraiso terreal! + +Seja que não seja, embora, +quero dizer ao que venho, +não diga que me detenho +a nossa aldeia já agora. +Por ella vim saber cá +se certo é +que pariu Vossa Nobreza? +Crei' que sim, que Vossa Alteza +tal está +que de isto mesmo dá fé. + +Mui alegre e prazenteira, +mui ufana e esclarecida, +mui perfeita e mui luzida, +muito mais que de antes era. +Oh!, que bem tão principal, +universal! +Nunca se viu prazer tal! +Por minha fé--vou saltar! +Eh!, zagal, +diz' lá, diz' lá:--saltei mal? + +Quem queres que não rebente +de alegria e gasalhado! +De todos tão desejado, +este príncepe excelente, +oh!, que rei terá de ser! +A meu ver, +deviamos pôr em gritos +a alegria e a esperança, +que até os nossos cabritos +desde hontem, co'a folgança, +não cuidam já de pascer. + +E todo o gado retouça, +toda a tristeza se quita; +com esta nova bemdita +todo a mundo se alvoroça. +oh!, que alegria tamanha, +a montanha +e os prados refloriram, +porque agora se cumpriram +cá nesta mesma cabana +todas as glórias de Espanha. + +Que grão prazer sentirá +a grão côrte castelhana! +Quão alegre e quão ufana +a vossa mãe não estará, +e, á uma, toda a nação! +Com razão, +que de tal rei procedeu +o mais nobre que nasceu: +seu pendão +não sofre comparação. + +Que pai, que filho, e que mãe! +Oh!, que avó, que avós os seus! +E suas tias, tambem! +Bemdito o Senhor dos céus +porque ell' tal familia tem! +Viva o príncepe logrado +que é o bem aparentado! + +Se agora vagar tivera +e depressa não viera, +maldito seja eu então +se aqui a conta não dera +de esta sua geração. +Será rei Dom João Terceiro, +o herdeiro +da fama que nos deixaram, +nos tempos em que reinaram, +o Segundo e o Primeiro +e ind'outros que passaram. + +Mas ficaram-me lá fóra +uns trinta ou mais companheiros, +pastores, zagaes, porqueiros, +e vou chamá-los agora; +elles trazem p'ra o nascido +esclarecido, +ovos e leite fresquinhos, +e um cento de bolinhos; +mais trouxeram +queijos, mel--o que puderam... + +E ora os quero ir chamar, +mas, por via dos puxões, +agarrem os figurões +p'ra gente poder entrar. + + +Ouve-se ao longe, uma gaita de foles. + +«Entram certas figuras de pastores e oferecem ao príncepe os +ditos presentes.» + + + + ++Nota+ + + + + +_Nota_ + + +Quando comecei a traduzir este lindo monólogo, os versos +entraram logo a construir-se espontâneos na nossa linguagem. E +tão facil foi o trabalho, que apenas o verso: + + Juri á Sanjunco santo!, + +que representa o pitoresco de uma exclamação sem sentido em +português, não entra nesta versão quase justalinear. Passado +á nossa lingua, depois de tantos annos ter incerrada no seu +duro castelhano a doce alma portuguesa, parece-me que o monólogo +ganhou em lirismo,--o lirismo que a nossa linguagem impresta +ás falas sinceras que do seu ritmo se ajudam. Porque onde o +castelhano, aspirado e cerrado, põe a força e o garbo--e põe-nos +até na doçura--o português requebra a modulação suave do +seu tom menor. Estranho parecerá que nenhum dos nossos homens +de teatro (que o autor de estas linhas não é) se não lembrasse +ha muito de trazer para a scena este monólogo incantador, esta +peça da mais viva poesia, integrando na decorativa moldura da +reconstituição histórica, a figura desimpenada do _Vaqueiro_. Quando +este aparece na câmara da rainha, perseguido pelos guardas que +lhe estorvam a passagem,--é, em verdade, o Povo que aparece, +falando de mão a mão ao seu rei, na consciência da sua força +meiga e orgulhosa! + +É o Povo, a criança admirativa, que é doida por livros de +imagens, quem se boquiabre ante a câmara sumptuosa, cuja riqueza, +entanto, lhe provoca desconfianças; e em cujo sobrado precioso, +planta todavia com firmeza os seus rudos sapatos, afeitos a +trilhar calhaus de serra. É elle ainda quem dirige á rainha, +com uma familiaridade tocante e tão graciosa, as preguntas +extra-protocolares, de gótica simplecidade: + + se certo é + que pariu Vossa Nobreza?, + +e quem logo descobre, no rosto da mulher desfalecida e incantada, +o indício da alegria maternal, que a seguir descreve em versos +admiraveis, cuja adjectivação nos faz _ver_ a radiação moral +de aquele rosto. + +É sempre o Povo quem ali descortina, por obra do seu fresco +sentimento, para àlem da alegria dinástica, que celebra,--a +alegria da familia, que o comove. E esta, ao descer por um +instante do trono mais poderoso da sua época, por um instante +tambem nos entra no coração, quando a minúcia atenciosa do +_Vaqueiro_ nomeia a um e um os membros da familia: + + Que pai, que filho, e que mãe! + Oh que avó, que avós os seus! + E suas tias, tambem! + +É o Povo, e só podia ser elle, quem ao príncepe, futuro senhor +do mundo, oferta com tão nobre franqueza os seus pobres e rústicos +presentes, cuja alta beleza não sonha; e quem lhe traz,--com as +desculpas indispensaveis ainda hoje nas nossas províncias,--os +queijos e os ovos, o leite e o mel... Nenhuma página de Gil +Vicente se me afigura portanto mais viva, mais espontânea do +que esta, que nos recorda um episódio de presépio, pintado +em fundo azul por um Giotto um pouco tardio, estranho aos +esplendores mais deslumbrantes mas menos sentidos da Renascença, +e que pôde guardar, do íntimo contato com a natureza e com +seus irmãos, uma frescura de menino entre doutores. + +Na nossa hora incerta, ao mesmo tempo triste e renascente, +consolêmo-nos com estas belas redondilhas do _Vaqueiro_, que +vem a casa dos grandes, iluminá-los e incantá-los um momento +com a graça da sua cândida alegria. E emquanto se não funda +em Portugal a _Sociedade Luis de Camões_, sobre o molde da +_Sociedade Dante Alighieri_--lar do pensamento italiano--e a +que pertençam homens sinceros de todas as classes, vindos de +todas as escolas filosóficas, de todas as crenças religiosas, +intimamente congregados em promover um _moderno_ amor da patria, +á roda de esse nome que para sempre nos simboliza,--consolêmo-nos, +sobretudo, acreditando que o povo, donde esse pastor saíu, guarda +no fundo da alma,--onde dormem ainda, para lentas desabrocharem, +forças indómitas e novas,--esse mesmo poder de saudar e estremecer, +não já um príncepe que nasce, mas uma terra redimida que quer +viver e amar! + + +Fevereiro de 1910. + + + + +ERRATA + + +Da infelicidade da composição, + erros da escritura +e outras imperfeições da estampa, + não ha que dizer-vos: +--vós os vêdes, vós os castigae. + + +_D.
