   • c1840, Ramón Varela Vahamonde, Conversa entre os arrieiros:

     Váian ao inferno a beber,

     Que a min ben me xiringaron

     E, entre mangas e riostras,

     Trecentos reás vöaron.

     Débenme, Dios sabe canto,

     O menos trint’e set’olas

     E coidaban os larpeiros

     De pagarmas con parolas.

     Let them go to Hell to drink,

     because they harmed me very much

     and, among other things,

     three hundred reals flew away.

     They owe me God knows how much,

     at least seventy-four gallons,

     and the gluttons thought of

     paying me with banter.
