   • c. 1840, Ramón Varela Vahamonde, Conversa entre os arrieiros:

     Por eso non queren suba
     Na sisa nin na taberna
     E, en tanto que os demais paguen,
     Eles recachan a perna.
     E como serán sumidos
     En bebedelas, o aumento,
     Dan a sisa pol-os tragos
     E miran outros pr’o vento.

     That's why they don't want an increase
     in the surcharge nor in the tavern
     and, as long as the others pay,
     they uncover the leg [they sunbathe].
     And since they are gonna be consumed
     in binges, the augment,
     they give the surcharge for the gulps
     and others look into the wind.
