1853, Juan Manuel Pintos, A Gaita Gallega:
Camiños de perdiciós pratican os máis e os menos máis de cen. O carballo máis ferrudo si o becho lle crava o dente no raigado, amolece e xa golbudo vén ao chan prestamente derrumbado. Os vicios son bechos fortes que amolegan corpos duros e valentes
Roads to perdition, the most and the least practice more than a hundred. The most robust oak, if the bug sink his teeth in the roots, softens and, when rotten, comes to the ground promptly, slumped. Vices are strong bugs that soften hard and bold bodies.
English oak (Quercus robur), which was the more common tree in Galicia till the second half of the 20th century
