conter
EN There was nothing subtle or hidden about her charms; her beauty was all there, flaming and apparent: the spun-gold hair that comb nor confining pin could restrain; the blue eyes that were like nothing but sapphires; two lips that pouted, that were so red one could only think of cherries or some other delicious crimson fruit in looking at them.
GL Os seus encantos non tiñan nada de sutil e de oculto; toda a súa beleza estaba alí, esplendorosa e aparente: a madeixa de pelo dourado que nin peites nin prendedores lograban conter; os ollos azuis, talmente coma zafiros; os beizos pregados, tan vermellos que, ó miralos, lembraban ás cereixas ou outra saborosa froita carmesí.
