    • 1596, anonymous author, Diálogo de Alberte e Bieito:
      fan mais mal que no'a lagostra
      son como abes de Rapiña
      Lagumeiros
      lapuzes e lacoeiros
      que con achaque da guerra
      quedou ynsinada a terra
      a consentir lacoeiros
      they cause more harm than the locust,
      they are like birds of prey
      marsh-alikes
      miserables and loafers
      cause with the excuse of war
      the land was taught
      to consent freeloaders
