   • 1589, Juan de Pineda, Diálogos familiares de la agricultura cristiana 58:

     La corneja dice con su canto cras, cras, que quiere decir mañana; mañana, también como el canto de los cuervos; y ansí los que viven de esperanzas pasan de día en día, prometiéndose buenaventura para los venideros, y porque en la materia de virtudes es mal caso dejar para mañana el bien, que hoy se puede hacer, condena Dios en la ley por aves inmundas a todos los linajes de cuervos, que siempre dicen cras o mañana.

     A small crow says in its song, cras cras, which means 'tomorrow', so does the song of regular crows. This is how those who live off hope pass their days, promising to themselves better times in future days. Among virtues, it is bad form to leave the good that can be done today till tomorrow, and so God condemns all types of crows as foul birds, because they say cras, that is 'tomorrow'.
