    • 1814, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Romance:
      Omes do vál, da ribeira,
      E os que na serra morás;
      Dadevos o paraben
      Das novas que vou contár.
      O noso rey, que deixóu
      A Galicia en orfandade,
      E por quen tan nobremente
      España verteu a sangre
      Xá está con nosco... ¡que groria!
      Men of the valley, of the seashore,
      and you dwellers of the mountains;
      give yourselves congratulations
      for the news I'm about to tell:
      our King, who left
      Galicia orphaned,
      and for whom so nobly
      Spain shed her blood
      is already among us... Glory!
