LISBOA SERRA, Joao Duarte, Brazilian poet, born in Nossa Senhora das Dores de Itapecurfimirim, 31 May, 1818; died in Rio Janeiro, 16 April, 1855. He received his early education in Maranhao, and was graduated in arts and sciences at Coimbra, Portugal. From early life he cultivated poetry and published several compositions that were highly praised, including "Subindo pelo Vouga" and "No Cemiterio dos Christaos." In 1839 he returned to Brazil and there contributed to several newspapers. In 1842, falling heir to a large fortune, he abandoned journalism and poetry, and in 1847 was elected to congress by the province of Maranho. In 1848 he was appointed by the government president of the province of Bahia, where he founded the provincial bank. In 1850 he became treasurer of the nation, councillor of state, and president of the Bank of Brazil. In the elections of 1853 he was chosen a representative in his native province, and took his seat in the assembly, but declined the post of a cabinet minister. Feeble health finally compelled Lisboa to retire to private life, and, his taste for poetry returning, he composed several pieces that are highly esteemed. the best known are "0 Maranhense" and "Domine, exaudiorationem meam," which has been translated into several foreign languages.
