    • 1707, Salvador Francisco Roel, Entremés ao real e feliz parto da nosa raíña:
      Alberte falemos craros
      nosoutros temos a culpa,
      que se foramos armados
      con aguilladas e chuzos,
      ouberàmos de botalos
      alò para en cas de Iudas.
      "Alberte, let's we make this clear:
      we are to blame,
      because if we had been armed
      with goads and spears
      we would had drove them back
      there until Judas's house."
