1884, O tío Marcos da Portela, volume 2, number 45, page 1:
na compaña dos meus bos amigos Benito das Vacalouras e Martiño de Zamora, metínme nun deses wagós do camiño de ferro d'Ourense a Vigo, i anque fumos nel como sardiñas en banasta, non tivemos queixa, porque neso da comparanza das sardiñas, nosoutros éramos das cabezudas, i as que levábamos á beira eran das escochadas, frescas e pequerrechiñas e cun sal
in the company of my good friends Benito das Vacalouras and Martiño from Zamora, I entered one of those wagons of the railroad from Ourense to Vigo and, even if we travelled packed as sardines, we had no complaint, because on that comparison we were as sardines with head, but those next to us were as headless sardines, fresh and small and salted

Non viche Maruxa, nas noites do inverno, andar a estantiga polos matorreiros, a estantiga digo, que chaman os vellos hostea ou compaña que a todos fai medo
Haven't you see, Maruxa, in the winter nights, the Estantiga passing by the woods? The Estantiga, I say, the one the old ones call the Host or Company, which frightens everyone
