“Endemal! non falás rouco, mais eu à tanto desfacho, (como dixo ô ôutro) a macho que hè lerdo, arrieiro louco. Por moito que eu malle, hè pouco; que a quen do principio aò cabo, sin fazer caso do crabo, tàs peras tira meu frade, conven (xiquera à semade) que lle zorreguen ô rabo.”

Alas! you don't speak rough, but I, to such impertinence, as they say, to dumb mule, mad muleteer. No matter how much I strike, is not enough; because to whom, beginning to end, not paying attention to the nail, your pears drop, my friar, it is advisable (at least summarily) that they whip their tail
