   • 1846, Juan Manuel Pintos, Contos de aldea:

     E aquedouse o mare,
     Sosegouse o vento.
     Escampou a chuvia,
     E foi crarecendo,
     Fuxindose as nubes
     Arrente do ceo

     And the sea got quiet
     The wind calmed down
     The rain stopped
     And it was clearing,
     the clouds running away
     by the sky
