   • 1813, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Rogos dun galego:

     Meigas, feitizos e bruxas
     que persigue a Inquisicion,
     sin mascara, socaliñas
     de cregos e frades son.
     Chamanlles bruxas à ás vellas
     por ter cara de carton;
     pero solamente hay meygas
     en donde hay Inquisicion.
     As femias da nosa especie
     de certa constitucion
     fan visaxes, e son tolas,
     pero feitizeiras non.

     Witches, spells and hexes,
     who are prosecuted by the Inquisition,
     maskless, hoaxes
     of priests and friars are.
     They call hex an old lady
     because her face is made of cardboard;
     but there are witches
     just where it is Inquisition.
     Females of our species,
     of certain constitution,
     make gestures, and are mad,
     but sorceresses they are not.

   • 1822, anonymous author, A Parola Polêteca:

     A Constetucion é a mellor ley que podemos desear. Somos libres pois que non reconocemos basallaxê. Temos goberno moy bó, unas Cortes que en nome do pobo poden tanto como Rey, po lo que é craro que nos mandamos tanto como o Rey.

     The Constitution is the best law we can look forward to. We are free because we don't acknowledge vassalage. We have quite a good government; a parliament that, in the name of the people, is as powerful as the King; and so it is evident that we are as powerful as the King.
