Chamanlles bruxas à ás vellas por ter cara de carton; pero solamente hay meygas en donde hay Inquisicion. As femias da nosa especie de certa constitucion fan visaxes, e son tolas, pero feitizeiras non.Witches, spells and hexes, who are prosecuted by the Inquisition, maskless, hoaxes of priests and friars are.

Females of our species, of certain constitution, make gestures, and are mad, but sorceresses they are not.
