   • c. 1771, anonymous, Rosario Álvarez, Ernesto González, editors, Décima xiringatoria‎^[2]:

     Endemal! non falás rouco,
     mais eu à tanto desfacho,
     (como dixo ô ôutro) a macho
     que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco.
     Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco;
     que a quen do principio aò cabo,
     sin fazer caso do crabo,
     tàs peras tira meu frade,
     conven (xiquera à semade)
     que lle zorreguen ô rabo.

     Alas! you don't speak rough,
     but I, to such impertinence,
     as they say, to dumb mule,
     mad muleteer.
     No matter how much I strike, is not enough;
     because to whom, beginning to end,
     not paying attention to the nail,
     your pears drop, my friar,
     it is advisable (at least briefly)
     that they whip their tail
