- 1775, María Francisca Isla y Losada, Romance:
  An que me trataches bén
  s'á vesita non pagàs
  dou ò demo pè ala poño
  nin me alembro de vòs màis.
  Q'èu, anque ben vós quero
  coma si forades rapàz
  tamen vos esquenzerei,
  como dea en enteimar.
  Although you treated me well
  If you don't pay the visit
  No way I'm putting a foot there
  Or remembering you anymore
  Because, although I love you well
  As if you were a bachelor,
  I'll forget you
  In case I fixate [on this idea]
