   • 1707, Salvador Francisco Roel, Entremés ao real e feliz parto da nosa raíña:

     Afonso:

     E como està o afillado?

     Christobo:

     Esse jà quer ir a Escola,

     pero porque non tèn sayo

     està decote na Eyra

     para escorrentar o Gando.

     Afonso:

     Pois esso non e ben feyto,

     porque e vivo coma vn allo,

     fino coma vnha pimenta,

     e se quer ser Lecenceado

     an que venda os bois do jugo

     lle teño de dar estado.

     Afonso:

     How is doing my godchild?

     Christobo:

     He already want to go to school,

     but since he has no robe

     is all the time in the field

     to drive away the livestock.

     Afonso:

     But this is not correct,

     because he is smart as a whip,

     acute as a pepper grain,

     and if he wants to be a bachelor,

     even if I have to sell the yoke oxen,

     I ought to give him estate.
