Here he wrote for the newspaper press, ventured to appear as a dramatist, and in 1846 established his reputation by a volume of poems Primeiros Cantos which appealed to the national feelings of his Brazilian readers, were In 1848 he followed up his success by Segundos Cantos e sextilhas de Frei Antao, in which, as the title indicates, he puts a number of the pieces in the mouth of a simple old Dominican friar; and in the following year, in fulfilment of the duties of his new post as professor of Brazilian history in the Imperial College of Pedro II. at Rio de Janeiro, he published an edition of Berredo’s Annaes historicos do Maranhao and added a sketch of the migrations of the Indian tribes.

He was one of the most famous Brazilian poets of all time... but I'm actually not too fond of his poems. They're too romantic to me, in a sticky kind of way sometimes, lol.
