A Morte de Lindóia

Um frio susto corre pelas veias
De Caitutu, que deixa os seus no campo;
E a irmã por entre as sombras do arvoredo
Busca co'a vista e teme de encontrá-la.
Entram enfim na mais remota e interna
Parte de antigo bosque, escuro e negro,
Onde ao pé de uma lapa cavernosa
Cobre uma rouca fonte, que murmura,
Curva latada de jasmins e rosas.
Este lugar delicioso e triste,
Cansada de viver, tinha escolhido
Para morrer a mísera Lindóia.
Lá reclinada, como que dormia,
Na branda relva e nas mimosas flores.
Tinha a face na mãe e a mão no tronco
De um fúnebre cipreste, que espalhava
Melancólica sombra. Mais de perto,
Descobrem que se enrola no seu corpo
Verde serpente, e lhe passeia e cinge
Pescoço, e braços, e lhe lambe o seio.
Fogem de a ver assim sobressaltados
E param cheios de temor ao longe;
E nem se atrevem a chamá-la, e temem
Que desperte assustada, e irrite o monstro,
E fuja, e apresse, no fugir, a morte.
Porém o destro Caitutu, que treme
Do perigo da irmã, sem mais demora
Dobrou as pontas do arco e quis três vezes
Soltar o tiro e vacilou três vezes,
Entre a ira e o temor. Enfim, sacode
O arco e faz voar a aguda seta,
Que toca o peito de Lindóia e fere
A serpente na testa, e a boca, e os dentes
Deixou cravados no vizinho tronco.
Açouta o campo co'a ligeira cauda
O irado monstro, e, em tortuosos giros,
Se enrosca no cipreste, e verte envolto
Em negro sangue o lívido veneno.
Leva no braço a infeliz Lindóia
O desgraçado irmão, que, ao despertá-la
Conhece, com que dor!, no frio rosto
Os sinais do veneno e vê ferido
Pelo dente sutil o brando peito.
Os olhos, em que Amor reinava um dia,
Cheios de morte; e muda aquela língua
Que ao surdo vento e aos ecos tantas vezes
Contou a larga história de seus males.

Basílio da Gama, O Uraguai, IV, 140-186


Percebam o grau imagético de tal pintura: a lasciva morte por uma serpente, ao centro dum Éden, inoculando no seio de uma índia o remédio contra a melancolia que lhe impôs Amor. O pagão junta-se à serpente que desviou os homens do delicioso jardim da aurora dos tempos; a nudez marca o seio da bela e triste Lindóia com os dentes duma cobra, que após, máculas da perversão, lhe pinta com o negror de sangue e veneno; tudo isentado de culpa no pathos de Amor e na ignorância selvagem dos tapes dominados pelo temoribundo discurso dos jesuítas.
Quem souber fazê-lo, é um favor à literatura brasileira pintar a Lindóia.
