   • 1707, Salvador Francisco Roel, Entremés ao real e feliz parto da nosa raíña:

     Afonso:
     E como està o afillado?
     Christobo:
     Esse jà quer ir a Escola,
     pero porque non tèn sayo
     està decote na Eyra
     para escorrentar o Gando.
     Afonso:
     Pois esso non e ben feyto,
     porque e vivo coma vn allo,
     fino coma vnha pimenta,
     e se quer ser Lecenceado
     an que venda os bois do jugo
     lle teño de dar estado.

     Afonso:
     How is doing my godchild?
     Christobo:
     He already want to go to school,
     but since he has no robe
     is all the time in the field
     to drive away the livestock.
     Afonso:
     But this is not correct,
     because he is smart as a whip,
     acute as a pepper grain,
     and if he wants to be a bachelor,
     even if I have to sell the yoke oxen,
     I ought to give him estate.
