March March: at the morning a rose face, at the evening a dog face

[…] os empregados non se deixan asoballar pola súa maldade, e o mesmo porteiro deprendeu a poñerlle cara de can. Somente Pedro é un manteiguiñas, incapaz de defenderse. A covardía do xefe cabalga na covardía de Pedro, para locí-las arroutadas que non é quen de descargar no lombo dos outros. Pedro sofre en silenzo; pero cóme-no as xenreiras, e non pode ollá-la cara daquel home sen desexarlle a morte.

[…] employees don't let him oppress them with his meanness, and even the doorman learnt to put an angry face for him. But Pedro is a poor thing, unable to defend himself. The boss' cowardice rides Pedro's, to show off the outbursts that he is incapable of discharging over other's shoulders. Pedro suffers in silence; but spite eats him, and he can't watch that man's face without wishing him death.

Eu non pensei, meu Farruco,
polo que bos xa sabes,
chegar a este Sn Andres,
nin oir mais outro cuco:
cobrar, quixo o seu trabuco
de min coas suas gadañas
a morte, mais aunque estrañas
boltas medou polas gorxas,
gardeime das malas mañas,
saquei os pes dàs alforxas.
Nas suas estramonias,
quixen ò corpo furtarlle,
por non morrerme sin darlle,
ào meu Patron os seus días:
entre as miñas agonias
aunque chorava os meus danos,
decia entre desengaños
mais que eu morra, pois queres,
señor, pero ao meu Andres
gardaimo por moitos anos

1775, Diego Antonio Cernadas y Castro, Eu non pensei, meu Farruco:

I didn't believe, my Frank,
 because of what you already know,
that I would arrive to this St. Andrew
of that I would ever hear a cuckoo again;
she wanted to collect her tax
out of me with her scythe,
the Death, but although strange
turnarounds she made on my throat
I guarded against bad trickeries
I took my feet out of the saddlebags.
In her mischiefs,
 I wanted to steal my body,
so I would not die
before congratulating my patron saint for his day:
amid my agony
even although I cried my aches,
I said between disappointments:
no matter if I die, since this is your will,
Lord, but my Andrew,
guard him for many years.
