    • 1843, anonymous author, Cambados, 1836:
      è s’os crègos non se meten
      n’o demòntre d’a’ncaldada
      è o abade c’o seu tòrgo
      fort’e recio non lles fala
      d’irs’a jantar o’utro mundo
      iban ja lovando trazas.
      and if it wasn't for the priests,
      who stopped that hell of a broth,
      and the abbot with his voice,
      strong and firm, didn't speak with them,
      going to have lunch to the other world
      those people were giving clues
