c. 1810, Antonio Arias Teixeiro, Sonetos con estrambote:A estes Facos pegoulles á mania
de morder os meus versos critiqueiros
dispreciabanos muito ó outro dia
diante de tres ou catro compañeiros;
é p[o]r tanto con toda cortesia
dou gracias á dous Facos Burrufeiros
dicindolles q[u]e ó Trasgo os desafia.- These two hacks became fixated
on biting my verses, captious,
they were despising them heavily the other day
in front of three or four companions;
and therefore, courteously,
I thank these two Dirty Hacks
telling them that the Goblin defy them
