    • 1775, María Francisca Isla y Losada, Romance:
      Anque à prea non hègrande
      si ca si, ò sacristan
      disque à pestàna do figado
      se lle hiba alegrando já.
      Ô cont'hè, si enturra n'eso
      Deus me libre das suas más,
      que'anque eu non queira, na Coba
      de chantarme heche capàz.
      Although the booty is not large,
      in any case, the sacristan's
      liver's eyes, reportedly,
      were shinning bright.
      The issue is, if he persists,
      God save me from his hands,
      that even if I don't want, in the grave
      he is capable of thrusting me
