let him hiss, the thief scribe who took my hide; and let him fret, who finished me with tributes and struggles: thanks are given by my doors to whom that so disturbed them

“Váian ao inferno a beber, Que a min ben me xiringaron E, entre mangas e riostras, Trecentos reás vöaron. Débenme, Dios sabe canto, O menos trint’e set’olas E coidaban os larpeiros De pagarmas con parolas.”

Let them go to Hell to drink, because they harmed me very much and, among other things, three hundred reals flew away. They owe me God knows how much, at least seventy-four gallons, and the gluttons thought of paying me with banter.
