   • 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 insist in this,
     God save me from his hands,
     that even if I don't want, in the grave
     he is capable of thrusting me

     Hai sicasí máis cristianos na apariencia que no fondo da conciencia e nas obras.

     There are, anyway, more Christians in appearance that in the conscience and the works
