    • 1750, anonymous author, Galanteo de mozo e moza:
      Agora si, que cai ben
      aquel conto do Boy manso,
      que nunha corrida de Touros,
      se ò pican, â ollos cerrados
      â hùs lles fura os calzòs,
      outros os pincha rodando,
      este quero, aquel non quero,
      esparcendolle os fargallos,
      hasta que queda à Praza
      espoada âô seu mandado:
      Now it sits well
      that tale of the docile ox,
      that in a bullfight,
      if they sting him, as with closed eyes,
      he bores the pants of some,
      others he takes down rolling,
      this one I want, that I don't,
      scattering their rags,
      till the plaza is left
      sieved at his command
