    • 16th century, Joseph of Anchieta, translated by Eduardo de Almeida Navarro, Poemas: lírica portuguesa e tupi, São Paulo: Martins Fontes, published 2004, page 178:
      Eva, îandé syypy,
      onhemomotareté
      ybaporanga resé,
      mboîa nhe’enga rupi,
      iî ykyé’bo, i gûabo nhẽ.

      was much attracted
      by the beautiful fruit,
      after the snake’s words,
      and indeed picking it, and eating it.
