41st sonnet added to the Malagilion: Soniton Pangasinan

anto so pakatalos yo'd anlong
nisulat ed talurtur a libri?
anggapo'y bilang na silabila
tan mitatanol iran kataga

anggapo met so sukat na linya
ed kada dasig o kada dangkal
anggapo'y istilo ono porma
no ag ta nitibon talinhaga

balikas ed daan ya salita
tan mitapor ya kabayaoasan
so imparungtal tan say inkana
onya so uni na Kaboloan

ag nakaukulan ya ontumbok
ed lapag a ley na pormalismo
