   • 1697, José Gil Taboada, Grande loita de luceiros:

     Grande loyta de Luceyros
     Ay na terra do patron
     Santo, que fillo do Trono
     Nas guerras sempre atronòu.
     Cinco Luceyros no'menos
     S'opòn à vn Luceyro sò:
     Cinco à vn, è ser Galegos?
     No'mo dà ò corazon.
     E que loytan sobre quen
     A quen mais alomeou.
     Vn contra cinco? Este si
     Que é Galego de naçon.

     A large dispute of luminaries
     happens at he land of the patron
     Saint, who, son of thunder
     In the wars always stormed [Santiago].
     Five luminaries, no less,
     Oppose one luminary alone:
     Five to one, being Galicians?
     I don't think so.
     And they are fighting on who
     enlightened more to whom.
     One to five? This certainly is
     Galician by nation

     que en Galicia ò seu funduxe
     ten à vosa nobre fruxe,
     vou en Gallego a falarvos:
     De esto non hay que estrañarvos;
     antes ben, facendo gala
     de esta nacion, estimála,
     è si porque moito dista,
     non à conocès de vista,
     conocedéa pola fala

     With the desire to remind you
     that in Galicia has its origin
     your noble lineage,
     I'm going to speak in Galician to you:
     you must not be surprised;
     rather, showing off
     this nation, you'll love it;
     and, if because of the distance,
     you are not acquainted,
     then meet her in her language
