    • 1775, María Francisca Isla y Losada, Romance:
      Dime algùnha còusa dòce
      como habes doito, é catá,
      que si así no no fazèdes,
      me escatìmo, é velo hàs.
      Ven sabedes, vaiche bòa!
      como estas cousas se fàn,
      è madia tendes, senon
      eu êime de encabuxar.
      Tell me something sweet
      As you use to, but beware,
      if you don't do it like that
      I'll take offence, you'll see.
      You know well, it could not be otherwise!
      how these things are done,
      no doubt about it or else
      I'll go mad.
