   • 1807, anonymous, Primeiro diálogo dos esterqueiros:

     outros contaban que Beja

     lle apretara as carabillas.

     Esto ben podrà ser certo,

     p[o]rq[u]e cando este Señor

     lle berraba, el tembraba,

     é aposto eu que tiña

     ó ollo do cu tan cerrado,

     que era imposible coupese

     un grau de millo p[o]r el;

     others told that Beja

     had tightened his pegs.

     This is probably true,

     because when this lord

     was shouting him, he was trembling

     and I bet that

     his asshole was so tight

     that it was not possible that

     a corn grain entered in it
