    • c. 1771, anonymous, Rosario Álvarez, Ernesto González, editors, Décima xiringatoria:
      Endemal! non falás rouco,
      mais eu à tanto desfacho,
      (como dixo ô ôutro) a macho
      que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco.
      Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco;
      que a quen do principio aò cabo,
      sin fazer caso do crabo,
      tàs peras tira meu frade,
      conven (xiquera à semade)
      que lle zorreguen ô rabo.
      Alas! you don't speak rough,
      but I, to such impertinence,
      as they say, to dumb mule,
      mad muleteer.
      No matter how much I strike, is not enough;
      because to whom, beginning to end,
      not paying attention to the nail,
      your pears drop, my friar,
      it is advisable (at least briefly)
      that they whip their tail
  2. at once; simultaneously
