Ata meodía nõ cobrou suafala, nẽ seu entendemento.
Till noon he didn't recover hisvoice nor his mind
1779, Diego Antonio Cernadas,Obras en Prosa y Verso, Madrid, page315:
Co o desexo de acordarvos, que en Galicia o seu funduxe ten a vosa nobre fruxe, vou en Gallego a falarvos: De esto non hai que estrañarvos; antes ben, facendo gala de esta nación, estimá-la, e si porque moito dista, non a conocés de vista, conocedea polafala
With the desire to make you remember that in Galicia your noble lineage has its foundation, I'm gonna speak to you in Galician: no need to wonder for this; rather, taking pride of this nation, to love it, and if because of the distance, you don't know it by sight, let's you know it by itsspeech.
1859, José Domínguez d'Esquerdo,Entonces e agora ou Coroas e cadeas do fidalgo povo galicián:
deprende afala francesa, ingresa ou italián, e non construie a galícea, encolle o lombo, cand'ouce falare do país en que nasceu!
he learns the French, the English or the Italianlanguages, but can't elaborate in Galician, he flinches when he hears about the country where he was born!
Fai pouco tempo, e ben pouco por nosa indiferenza, qu'un feixe d'homes de vontade de ferro, axuntaronse, formando a santa e nobre Irmandade daFala.
Sometime ago, a very short time ago because of our indifference, a handful of men with an iron will, joining together, founded the holy and noble Brotherhood of theFala.
