    • 1837, anonymous author, O litigante labrador:
      Cando llo quixen dicir,
      puxo os ollos remelados,
      zarróu o puño pra min,
      e cos dentes regañados,
      fíxome a conta de todo,
      sen siquera descontalos;
      de tal sorte e tal maneira
      que de tales resultados
      deixáronme pez sen bota,
      eles de todo cobrados.
