- 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 [dusted?] at his command
- Now it sits well
