This text serves as a continuation of the themes set forth in its predecessor, critiquing the moral decay and various societal vices of Portugal, particularly those relating to both genders. It features a blend of poetry and prose, employing a sharp tone to address issues of gambling, fiscal irresponsibility, and the frivolity of social customs. In this continuation, the author delves into the social maladies afflicted on the Portuguese society of the time, portraying a landscape where vices such as gambling and extravagance overshadow traditional values. Through vivid characterization and sharp observations, Costa critiques the emptiness of material pursuits and societal expectations, offering a bleak view of a culture fixated on appearances over substance. His verses detail the corrupting influence of wealth, the decline of familial integrity, and the general moral malaise affecting both men and women, all while weaving in a sense of humor and wit that engages the reader. The poem culminates in a reflection on the losses Portugal has suffered due to these societal trends, leaving readers with a somber yet thought-provoking commentary on their nation.
