   • 1596, anonymous author, Diálogo de Alberte e Bieito:

     As lançadas que nos tiran
     os que benden
     que os ollos sacar pretenden
     todo para lebar fora
     A malizia neles mora
     qu'este e o trato en que se entenden

     the ones selling
     they want to gouge our eyes
     for taking all away
     Malice dwells inside them
     this is the deal they understand
