   • 1813, Manuel Pardo de Andrade, Rogos dun galego:

     Meigas, feitizos e bruxas

     que persigue a Inquisicion,

     sin mascara, socaliñas

     de cregos e frades son.

     Chamanlles bruxas à ás vellas

     por ter cara de carton;

     pero solamente hay meygas

     en donde hay Inquisicion.

     As femias da nosa especie

     de certa constitucion

     fan visaxes, e son tolas,

     pero feitizeiras non.

     Witches, spells and hexes,

     who are prosecuted by the Inquisition,

     maskless, hoaxes

     of priests and friars are.

     They call hex an old lady

     because her face is made of cardboard;

     but there are witches

     just where it is Inquisition.

     Females of our species,

     of certain constitution,

     make gestures, and are mad,

     but sorceresses they are not.
