- tódo-los mozos reíndo, baixo da sombra fuxindo da queima que lles dá o sol. O maiordomo i os cregos salen detrás axuntados, enxugandose os sudados pescozos que coa calor, deitan d'auga casi un río, que lles molla o branco pano; mais como están de bo ano, non degaxan co sudor.
- all the young ones laughing under the shadow, fleeing from the burn of the sun. The butler and the clergymen go after them at once, drying their sweaty napes which, because of the heat, pour of water a river that wet their white clothes; but since they are so well fed, they don't reduce with the sweat
