    • 1791, Bocage, Queixumes do Pastor Elmano Contra a Falsidade da Pastora Urselina:
      Fervendo-me no peito o amor, e a ira, / Logo, logo em pedaços fiz a Lira, / E em mil imprecações, em mil queixumes / O furor exhalei dos meus ciumes, / Ameaçando a infiel, que eu me vingava / No odioso Rival, que me affrontava, / Se huma satisfação, que Inálio visse, / Logo o meu pundonor não ressarcisse.
