Non houbo un mes de verán sequera ― There was not even a summery month
at least
- c. 1771, anonymous, Rosario Álvarez, Ernesto González, editors, Décima xiringatoria‎:
  Endemal! non falás rouco,
  mais eu à tanto desfacho,
  (como dixo ô ôutro) a macho
  que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco.
  Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco;
  que a quen do principio aò cabo,
  sin fazer caso do crabo,
  tàs peras tira meu frade,
  conven (xiquera à semade)
  que lle zorreguen ô rabo.
  Alas! you don't speak rough,
  but I, to such impertinence,
  as they say, to dumb mule,
  mad muleteer.
  No matter how much I strike, is not enough;
  because to whom, beginning to end,
  not paying attention to the nail,
  your pears drop, my friar,
  it is advisable (at least briefly)
  that they whip their tail
