As told by Maria Caminha
English
Bettina, though, was the most favoured of all; naturally she was the one who had most need of it.
She saw Our Lady of the Rosary coming, lovely, descending towards us; for her she vanished just as she came close to the earth.
She said to Regina, weeping and trem/bling\ Don't you see? It is the Lady of the Rosary!
Don't you see, then?
Português (original)
A Bettina então foi a mais contemplada de todas, naturalmente era a que tinha mais necessidade.
Essa viu vir Nossa Senhora do Rosario, linda, a descer para nós, para ella desvaneceu-se quando justamente se aproximou da terra.
Dizia ella á Regina, a chorar e a trem/er\ Não vês? É a Senhora do Rosario!
Pois tu não vês?
