   • 1671, Gabriel Feijoo de Araujo, Contenda dos labradores de Caldelas:

     Juro por tantos, è cantos / que à an de uer denegrada, / anque a justicia me lebe / os bois da corte, yas bacas. / eu pido vsos, e custumes / calen barbas, falen cartas

     I swear by each and every one that they shall see it livid, even though Justice takes away my oxen from the stables and the cows. I ask for customs and habits, actions speak louder than words.
