   • 1837, anonymous author, O litigante labrador:

     Cando llo quixen dicir,
     puxo os ollos remelados,
     zarróu o puño pra min,
     e cos dentes regañados,
     fíxome a conta de todo,
     sen siquera descontalos;
     de tal sorte e tal maneira
     que de tales resultados
     deixáronme pez sen bota,
     eles de todo cobrados.

     (please add an English translation of this quotation)
