   • 1808, anonymous author, Un labrador que foi sarxento:

     Si eu fora alá, meus queridos, por esta Cruz volo xuro, con mil cabezas francesas, había de vir, moi rufo; Esto con ser xa tan vello; mais vós, con catro estornudos, non deixarés un Gabacho, si poñedes ben os puntos; Ide á guerra, meus garridos, Dios vos axude, meus rulos, e aquel Patrón das Españas, que ten o pelo moi rubio

     If I go there, my loved ones, I swear by this cross that I will return with a thousand French heads, sound and healthy. And this being myself as old as I am. But you, with just four sneezes, won't leave a Frenchy left, if you put the points correctly. Go to war, my fine youngsters, God help you, my darlings, and that patron of the Spains who is so blonde!
