“E pois eu doze perdizes,
e de polos ducia e media
lle hei de lebar se Deus quer,
e se podo vnha Tenreyra,
por ser prato regalado
que se estima en calquer mesa.” — Then I twelve partridges
and a dozen and a half chickens
I ought to take, God willing,
and if I can a calf [veal]
because it is an enticing dish
that is appreciated in any table.
