    • 1899, Xan de Masma, ¡A besta!, La Habana: El Comercio Tipográfico, page 33:
      Han de perdonarnos os nosos leutores, si en latín vamos escribir dous renglós, inda sabendo qu'eles non o saben na súa maior parte, porqu'as linguas mortas sirven pra dicir o que na nosa fora unha cochada. Omnia animalia, post coitum, tristatum est.
      Our readers will forgive us if in Latin we write a pair of lines, even knowing that most will not understand, because dead tongues allows us to say what in ours could be a naughtiness: Omnia animalia, post coitum, tristatum est.
